is BURCLARIzED
Window is Means of Entrance fer
Thief Who Secures SS.40 in
Cash and Leaves.

Burglars entered the home OF
Colonel c. ". Durham, 1880 First
avenue, last night and a purse
containing $40 is known to have
been taken. From an investig2 tion
made today it appears that nothing
else is missing.
Entrance was gained by raising
a screen to a living room window.
and as the window was unlocked,
little difficulty was encountered by
the thieves in gaining entrance.
The purse containing the money
was taken from &he top OF table
beside Colonel Durham's bed. The
coIonel's watch, lying alongside the
purse, was not taken.
The theft was not discovered TN
til this morning when it was seen
that the window, through which
the burglar entered, was still open.
Investigation Immediately insti-
tuted resulted in the discovery that
the puTSe was missing.
Burglaries in Rock Island have
been perpetrated with frequency in
the last several weeks and have
been so successfully accomplished
as to lead to the belief that exper-
fenced thieves are perpetrating the
crimes.
