North Side Neus

Unknown marauders entered the
Sherwood restaurant Friday night. No
articles of value were taken. En-
trance was gained thru a back win
dow from which the putty had been
scraped, to allow of removal of the
pane The burglary was discovered
about o'clock this morning by Of
ficer Douglas. The present theory of
the police is that it was the work of
some ''floater" drifting thru Topeka,
via the side door pullman.
Thursday afternoon the police on
the North side took an effective side
swipe'' at the would-be busters of the
bone dry law. A trunk arrived at the
Union Pacific baggage room which
aroused the suspicious of Officer
Douglas. 1t looked like a dishonest
trunk. Douglas thought it might con-
tain something wet inside. When the
trunk was removed by the express
man. he kept an eye on it.
When it arrived at it's destination
near the corner of Norris and Kansas
avenue, the police car conveniently
happened along, the mysterious trunk
was opened, and two three-gallon
whisky kegs were disclosed. They
were taken to the station. The owner
has not yet claimed the trunk.
