BOLD ROBBERY ON MAIN st.
Mrs. Steele's Residence Entered
Last Night. Valuable Jew
elry Taken.

Sunday night while Mrs. Nan
ME G. Steele and her daughter,
Mrs. VIM. R. Humphreys were
calling across the street at Mr..
Farmers, their home was brok-
en- into and robbed Of consider
able jewelry including two dia-
mond rings, one valued at 5000,
and one at $50; a set of pearl
pins valued at $1OO; watch and
and old revolver. About nine o.
clock Mrs. Humphreys accom-
panied by Mr.. Farmer returned
to the house and interrupted the
robbers before they had COM
pletely ransacked the house. In
their fight they left several ar
ticles of iewelry belonging to
Mrs. Humphreys that they had
already discovered. The inter
ruption was timely, as they had
he'd time to visit only a room or
two.
Entrance was gained through
a small window over the kitchen
roof
Monday evening Joe James,
a recent graduate from the In
dustrial School at Boonville, was
taken into custody and when
questioned by the officers made
full confession of the robbery
and disgorged part of the loot.
Tuesday a colored woman
found some more of the stolen
property under a tree in the
court house yard, and turned
them over to Marshall Seitz who
was near by when the woman
picked them up. Everything has
been accounted for now except
the pocketbook which contained
some small change, and the re-
polrar.
Blood hounds were secured
and put upon the trail with the
usual result-a bill for no small
amount.
James probably had an ac-
complice, but thus far he has es-
capped detection.
