We're captured while in the act Of
burglarizing the Murkrud general
store here.
During the past few weeks the
store had been entered several times
and silks and other valuable goods
have been carried away The silks
alone which have been carried away
are estimated to be worth 5000.
Since the last robbery. the town mar
shall and W. deputies have each
night slept in the store awaiting a
return of the robbers, and their eff
forts, as stated. resulted in the cap
ture of three men, believed to be ex-
pert store thieves. They may have
been implicated in other robberies at
different points in South Dakota dur
ing the past two or three months.
They had effected an entrance to
the store and were stealing softly
over the floor when suddenly they
were confronted by the marshal and
his two deputies and commanded to
throw up their hands.
When taken into court all three
defendants waived their preliminary
hearing and were held for trial in
the state circuit court.

Big GANG WORKS
SIOUX CITY AND SIOUX FALLS
POLICE ROUND UP CROOKS.

Sioux City, Sept. 23.-Arrest to-
day of four men at Sioux Falls. in
connection with the robbery of stores
throughout South Dakota, according
to the Sioux City police, furnishes
evidence that a well organized gang
had been operating throughout this
section of the country. The action
followed the arrest yesterday of A.
Miller, a Sioux City ~storekeeper, in
connection with the sale of more
than 100 suits stolen from N. j. Lee.
of Howard, S. ID.
Evidence gathered late yesterday
by Detectives Curtis and Danielson
was forwarded to Sioux Falls and the
four men apprehended. Police today
learned that l.. Bisifkin. son of E.
Chosen, of Sioux Falls, who operates
a store at Yankton, notified the po-
lice here that his store had been rob
bed recently of more than twenty
five suits of clothing. Police here
credit the one gang with all the
work. Chosen told the police that
the Iowa Broom factory. owned by
him, was robbed several days ago.
Lee, who conducts the largest store
in Howard, is in Sioux City today and
will go tonight to Sioux Falls, where
he proposes to institute prosecution
against the four men arrested. Lee
asserted today that the articles taken
from his establishment were valued
at owe $1,400. Entrance to his
store was gained through the front
door at a late hour Sunday, Septem-
Der 10. The thieves had an auto
mobile, which they used TO haul away
the stolen goods.
The arrests of the Sioux Falls men,
the police assert, is a result of the
discovery of a trunk, which, it is said
by the authorities, furnished a valu-
able clew.
