ROBBERS RANSACK
STORE AT CoMRREY
ERICKSON & KISRO'S PLACE
ENTERED BY THIEVES
AT NIGHT
ABOUT $500 WORTH OF GOODS
ARE TAKEN LATE FRIDAY
NO CLUE

Another robbery was staged at Com
frey, in the southern part of this county
Friday night, when thieves entered the
general store of Erickson & Kisro at that
place and carried away goods valued at
between $400 and $780, Sheriff William
J.. Julius was notified early Saturday,
and Deputy H. F. Jahnke left at once
to make an investigation.
Picked Yale Lock
The robbers gained entrance through
the front door by picking the Yale lock,
and closed the store when they left.
The robbery is supposed to have taken
place sometime after midnight but was
not discovered until the next morn
ing when the store was opened for the
day..
The stolen property consisted mostly
of clothing, including handsome COON
skin coat, valued at $3.50, two trunks
and two imitation leather suit cases.
It is believed that the thieves with
their plunder passed through New Ulm
shortly before o'clock Saturday morn
ing. At that time Night Policeman
John Girg saw Ford automobile, con-
tanning two men and several trunks,
drive in from the west and turn toward
the Northwestern depot, but believed
| it was someone intending to take a
train. When the auto did not return
within reasonable length of time he
concluded that it must have been some
one travelling through toward Mankato.
| Reward is Offered
Erickson & Kisro, through Sheriff
Julius, has offered reward of $10O for
the arrest and conviction of the thieves.
y tNotig,sees otges to that. effect were mailed to
sheriffs and police officers throughout
this region. The stolen goods are dis
cribed as follows:
Three or four dozen mems dress
trousers, all striped, worth from So to
Sc each.
Ten mems suits, blues, brown checks
and greys.
One coonskin coat, trimmed with
otter on cuffs and otter collar, NC
Kibben make, size 52x52, valued at
$3.50.
Two leather lined vests, with mole
skin cloth front.
-Four pairs mems shoes.
Eleven watches, retail value about
$3.50 each.
One 36-inch travelling trunk, brass
corners.
One 34-inch steamer trunk with brass
corners. Both trunks were provided
with straps.
Two brown imitation leather suit
cases.
'The men suspected were travelling
in an automobile, presumably Ford -
says the sheriff's circular, with the
large trunk tied to the running board on
the left OF car''
Mourns Loss of Coat.
MIR. Erickson, of Erickson & Kisro,
mourns the loss of the fur coat more than
all else in the stolen property. He says
that it was the handsomest coonskin
coat that he had ever seen, and he had
planned it for his own use.
No trace so far has been discoverd
OF the thieves, except that observed by
Officer Girg, when it is believed they
passed through this city.
