Rob Bakers Drug Store ON
Main Street During
Early Hours.
I EAVE A STEPLADDER
Police as Yet Have No Clue
as to Identity of Bold
Men.

Assistant Chief OF Police II. II,
and his reorgani2ed police force have
as exhibit A, and sole clue OF the rob-
berry of the Baker drug store. 206
South Main, n stepladder which WAS
used by the burglars in entering the
store by climbing through the tran
som over the front door. The ladder
was not, as might be supposed. found
/ by the diligent patrolmen, but by the
owner of the store, who was forced
TO remove II from the front of his
place of business that he might un-
lock the door. The store was evidently
robbed some time between midnight
and daylight.
Upon the police department the
robbery of Bakers drug store had the
some result as that OF a gas attack
on trench OF the allies. 1t left the
attacked speechless
At the station it was stated that 40
detailed information had been Sc
cured II was pointed out that the
men assigned to investigate the case
had in the course OF events discovered
the direction OF entrance used by the
robbers Their operations beyond
this point We're not matter of record
and although the department was
working on the case the men who had
reproduced the arclight robbery Of
the Indian Trading company store
two weeks previous. had succeeded as
well as In the initial attempt to de-
crease the stock on hand of mer-
chants doing business along the prin-
cipal highway Of the city.
The police made no mention OF IN
officers report showing that sus-
picious looking character had been
seen in the vicinity of the Baker drug
store with such ladder. but 1t was
suggested that this might have
escaped the officer patroling the Main
street bea' Weather reports from the
government observatory show that
the minimum temperature for the
night was below 80 degrees. II also
was noted that on tho Main street
beat there are several restaurants
which remain open all night.
Selected the Stock.
When the drug store was opened
for business yesterday morning IL was
found that the burglars had selected
their stock to be carried out in an of-
ficient manner, paying special atten-
ton to articles which could be dis
posed of readily and goods which
would afford little opportunity of a
clue as to the identity Of the robbery
being left This OF course took time
and probably necessitated the pres
ence of the robbers in the front part
of the store for some length of time.
The store was well lighted and this
assisted the burglars in their efforts to
select articles which would prove the
most valuable to them.
The cash register was a point OF at
tack by the burglars, and although it
was empty. this fact did not deter the
burglars from doing damage to the
machine which will necessitate the ex-
penditurc of several dollars to repair.
