the Kaplan auction shop on West

The robbery was discovered early
Wednesday morning when clerks
opened the stors, and the police de-

and Detective L. L. White went to the
scene. They found that the burglars
had gained entrance to the shop
through a rear door. having used an
auger to bore hole. through which
hand was able to reach the lock
on the door. The auger and two
braces and bits were found near the
door.
Mr.. Kaplan told the police that an
investigation showed that the burg
lars had taken a number of watch
fobs and chains. and some cartridges.
The value could not be estimated.
The police are working on the case
and Chief Brooks said that he conf
