Dozen Eggs Stolen.
Services in the North Side
Churches Sunday.

Sherwood's Cafe at $40 North Kan
sas avenue was burglarized some time
between midnight and o'clock this
| morning. Entrance was gained to the
the building through a skylight. The
intruderS climbed on top of the build
ing and took some heavy wrapped tel
ephone wire which was not in use,
tying one end to a chimney on the
adjoining building and the other to
the chimney on the building occupied
by the Sherwood cafe. They pushed
open the skylight which was not
locked and slid down the telephone
wire.
The intruders evidently were hun
cry as they took five dozen fresh eggs,
one cake and a pie, besides a razor
which was valued at $3.50. The cash
pennies stolen. A pot of cold coffee
which was in the back room of the
restaurant was emptied.
After helping themselves to eatables
the back door was opened and the in
truders left.
Heard Noise.
A noise was heard by Mr.. Urban
of the Urban bakery, who was sleep
ing in the building at S44 North Kan
sas avenue, about o'clock this morn
a door. Upon examination this morn
ing it was found that the skylight on
the building occupied by the KnollS
Wallpaper store had been pried loose
thought to have been the slamming
of this skylight. The distance from
the skylight to the floor in the Knobs
wallpaper store is considerable more
than that in Sherwood's cafe and it
is supposed the burglars were scared
out. No clues have yet been found.
Telephone Service Improved.
According to the farmers living
north of town the telephone service is
improving. Due to the heavy snow
number of the local lines have been
in poor condition and the workmen
have been handicapped by the bad
roads which make it impossible to
travel in some instances.
