HAS MOSCOW
AN ORGANIZED
BURGLAR GANG
MANY BURGLARIES INDICATE
WORK OF GANG WITH EXPER-
ENCED LEADER
AN EPIDEMIC OF CRIME
ONE PLACE ROBBED SIX TIMES
IN THREE MONTHS-MANY
PLACES ENTERED

Is Moscow the rendezvous of an or
ganized gang of burglars who are
working under the leadership of an ex.
perienced man, in connection with g
fence who takes the stolen goods,
This is question that it seems might
easily be answered in the affirmative
When one comes to sum up the long
J list of burglaries that have been COM
mitted it is evident that the work if
of the same persons and that there is
regular system being followed.
A fence" is one who takes and dis
poses of stolen goods. These men are
generally shrewd in business and have
connections in many places. Goods
stolen in one place are shipped to an
other for disposal. The great amount
of loot taken from various places in
Moscow in the past three months indi-
Gates that it is not the work of boys,
or if the real burglars are boys they
are being directed by an older head.
The great weight of the stuff stolen
shows that wagon, hack or car is
used to take it away for it would re-
quire a big gang to carry away the
loot taken at some places where bur-
glaries have been committed For in
stance IS sacks of flour, weighing 900
pounds were taken from the Pacific
Coast Elevator company and that
would have mean 1S boys carrying a
sack each, if no vehicle was used
The Washburn e Wilson warehouse
on the Inland tracks has been bur-
glarizezd six times since January l.
The Pacific Coast Elevator companys
warehouse has been entered three
times. Each visit resulted in valua-
BILE goods being taken. Last Friday
night the Washburn e Wilson ware
house lost $50 worth of grain sacks.
The Inland Meat Market, the Farmers
Store and other places have been en-
tered and goods stolen. Gibson C Ba-
ken's warehouse was burglarized
and many things OF value were taken
from the shed in the rear of Creigh-
tons store. At the Inland Meat Mar
ket $4 in cash and a varied assortment
of merchandise was stolen.
Chris Tenwick, manager of the Pa
,ific Coast Elevator company, says eve
ry tool and piece of loose property |
from his barn has been stolen. The |
citizens are going to take the matter
up before the city council and ask that
better protection be given the city.
It has been suggested that special
plain clothes man" be employed to
watch at night 1t is believed that if
1ne of the burglars is caught he will
give away the whole gang and some
revelations may be made.
