For the third time within six months
another store was burglarized in New
Ulm Thursday night, when thieves en-
tered Crone Bros department store
and stole about $1,000 worth OF silks
and furs valued at $500. The burg
larry evidently occurred some time
after eleven o'clock. The store was
closed at noon on Thanksgiving day
but during the afternoon and even
ing the owners and some of the en-
ployes were i'm the store at different
times. A number OF pieces of plaid
and fancy silk were abandoned by
the thieves in North German park.
Larger pieces of silk. ranging in
price upward from 81 so per yard.
were not disturbed as they we're In
another compartment, while the stolen
silk was in the top front shelves in
the store and ranged all the way from
Sl.O0 TO $50 per yard.
One of the humorous incidents In
connection with the loot left behind
by the thieves was a poster printed in
large black letters containing the fol-
lowing wording: Regular prices were
low. but these are way down" Wheth-
or the burglars were practical jokers
or whether this poster was folded
in with bolt of silk is not known.

To be struck by a switch engine,

lege OF Harry Ryan. a young man. EN-

William Deciding. the engineer stat
ed today that II was the fact that
Ryan was thrown away from the track
that saved him. Otherwise, had he
been thrown on the track, he would
have been ground TO pieces under the
engine. Mr.. Deering says he has
trouble continually with drunken men
getting on the track. He has to run
the engine very carefully to avoid
running over drunken men. many OF
whom come into Mankato from neigh
boring towns i'm that condition.
