THIEVES GET LARGE HAUL.
H. M Woods Store Entered-Revol-
vers and Other Articles Gone-Ac-
cess Gained by Persistent Effort.

Burglars made haul between last week
Thursday night and Friday morning
from the sporting goods store of H. M.
Wood. They were persistent in their
efforts to effect an entrance, even II
some of the methods they adopted were
amateurish At one back door they
failed to get in after breaking the
glass and unlocking the door. At the
cellar door, which they managed to
pry open wide enough to release two
by-four prop, they were successful III
gaining entrance to the building, but
were baffied by the door at the top of
the stairs.
They then rcsortcd to the front door,
using u glass cutter on the heavy plate
glass near the lock and breaking out
| the glass with a stone, which was
| found on the floor of the store this
morning. The hole in the glass was
just large enough to admit a man S
hand.
Mr.. Wood said in the morning after a
hurried inventory that from IL to 10
revolvers, ranging in price from SO to
$3.50, were missing, some having been
taken from the front window, where a
Colt 25-calibre automatic was left al
ter being moved to one side. A 81
calibre automatic Savage revolver was
left, having been overlooked evidently
in one of the cases. Two new guns
that arrived Thursday and had not
been unpacked were untouched. No
ammunition was taken.
About $S was taken from the cash
drawer, but considerable money in
plain sight in the cigar case was over
looked. Three dozen pocket knives,
about q dozen Ingersoll watches and a
number of Gillett safety razors are
missing.
Mr.. Wood believes that the men were
familiar with the interior of the store,
for they did not attempt to use any OF
the pocket flash lights in the show
case, but took one that was in special
, place in the rear of the store and which
was ready for use.
The first attempt evidently was made
at the back door which opens INTO
small room used as dark room. Boxes
are nailed to the floor against the door
1nd wide shelf would have prevented
the door being opened very far. The
l. glass in the door was broken with {
small stone near the lock, the stone be
ing lodged between the window pan'

l this door, but they found it impossible
~, to open it without making TOO muci

0 They then tried the door leading t.
the cellar under the Wood store ant
that of Harry b. Haus, grocer. 4
piece of two-byfour timber wa
placed against the lock of this door
r The men were able to pry this opel
0 far enough to get an iron pipe in an'
2 finally managed to force the stick int
;, the earth floor enough to enable then
G to reach in and remove the stick. A
n the top of the stairs they encountered
G locked door leading into the store. The.
d evidently worked some time at the loci
and door knob, but without tools, an
t finally resorted to the front door. Al
