to the window display of goods and
removed pair of No. 10 shoes,
valued at 1925 which he took with
him. So far as the proprietors could

burglar took out of the stock From
there it is believed he went to the
Taber lumber yards and broke a pane

was after. Many believe it was local
talent for had any outsider burglar

he selected. There is absolutely no
clue as to who might have committed
the night visit.
