PILING 1T ON
Three Burglaries Monday Night Make
Lamar Seem Like City

On Monday evening just after dark
thieves commenced work in Lamar by
breaking into the residence of Mr..
Foust in the southwest part Of the
city and stealing an overcoat and
watch and other articles. A little
later they broke into the Jacaway sec
ond hand store and stole some tools.
These robberies were reported to the
night marshal and he warned some of
the storekeepers to lock up carefully
as the tools stolen indicated that they
might do other work. Between nine
and ten O'Clock Night Marshal Albert
noticed a pile Of goods on the back
platform of the Hoskins grocery but
says he thought they belonged to some
farmer who would take them away
during the night. Later he noticed
they were gone.
In the morning Mr.. Hoskins on open
ing his store found that the back
window had been broken open and
wagon load of goods taken, including
10 sacks Of flour, ) sacks of potatoes,
over 100 pounds Of lard, several sacks
of onions, and numerous other ar
ticles. The tracks of the wagon were
traced down the alley to the city hall
then over to Fifth street, then south
a block, east to the Central hotel and
then north along Main street. Not
trace of the stolen articles or the
thieves has yet been found.
1t certainly was bold piece of work
to break open store in the heart of
the business district about 9 O'Clock
and afterwards haul the stolen proper
ty down Main street before midnight,
especially after the earlier robberies
had put the night marshal on his
guard and caused him to particularly
watch the business district. Under
present conditions the only safe thing
for a merchant to do is to sleep in his
store with a gatling gun trained on
each window and entrance.
Later-Several searching parties
have been out ever since the robbery,
and today Messrs. Stokesberry and
Hoskins trailed the wagon to the
home of a Mr.. Styms on Cat Creek
% miles southwest Lamarf. They
asked for their dinner and Mr.. Stokes
berry with becoming modesty made an
investigation of the portions Of the
house which had bee hidden by cur
tains and discovered some of the
goods. They left and found Officer
|. c. Downing and with him captur-
ed Styms and brought him to town.
They also located practically all the
goods amounting to over S10s worth.

ROBINSON TO KEEP
HIS POST AS HEAD
OF THE CITY POLICE
Captain Davis, His Present
Subordinate and Prospective
Superior, Intercedes for
Superintendent
CAMERON LIKELY TO GO

Superintendent OF Police James Robin
son will be retained in his present
position by the incoming administration,
but several captains and lieutenants are
slated to either go or he denoted, accord
Ing to the gossip in political circles
around City Hall.
Captain of Detectives Robert ID.
Cameron, who was appointed to that
post by Director Porter. Is persistently
mentioned as one Of the first Victims
of the political guillotne Although he
is regarded as one OF the most efficient
heads the Detective Bureau ever had,
the rumor Is current that Captain
Cameron incurred the dspleasure OF
Dave" Lane by moving out Of his ward.
OF late the report circulated about City
Han that Lane has reconsldered hlB
objection, and that Cameron would be
retained.
In the event that Captain Cameron Is
removed. Detective Frank O'Connor Ia
mentioned as his successor. O'Connor Is
close personal friend of the Wares
besides being one OF the best detectives
on tho staff. When the rumor Of Captain
Camcron's removal first flashed through
city Hall, several aspirants Immediately
began pulling strings" but thus far
OConnor is regarded as the best bet"
Police Captain, Nicholas j. Kenny is
also mentioned as having incurred the
disfnvor of the powers that be. But, like
Captain Cameron, he is eligible to
pension and does not seem agitated over
the rumor.
To one political dopester. who re-
garded :he foregoing rumor as absolutely
correct. this question was put:
Were not repeated assertions made
that the police would be kept out OF poll
tics?"
He smiled. winkcd one eye and turned
on his heel.
At first the report was circulated that
Superintendent Robinson would be dis
placed But when Mayor-elect Smith an
nounced that William II. Wilson and Cap
tain Harry c. Davis would he Director
and Assistant Director OF Public Safety.
respectively, all doubts of Robinson's re-
tcntion were dispelled. The police chief
has for many years been personal friend
OF the Wares. He Is also very friendly
with the next Director of Public Safety.
But the friendship between the Superin-
tendent and Captain Davis is regarded
as inseparablc. Davis promotion to cap
tain by Director Porter was at the re-
quest of Robinson. Immediately upon his
promotion, desk room was given TO Cap
tain Davis In the inner office at police
headquarters, and in the absence of STU
perintendent Robinson, Captain Davis
was regarded as the acting head of the
Police Department. II Is rumored that
even before his appointment as Assistant
Director of Public Safety, Captain Davis.
upon learning that several candidates for
police chief were trying to undermine
Robinson. personally called upon Mayor
elect Smith and requested that his friend
be retained. This display of loyalty for
his superior officer Is said to have been
responsible for Captain Davis appoint
ment as Assistant Director.
