the store OF IL. r. CuShman q son on
Merchants row was broken into some
time during Tuesday night The store
is on the first floor Of the Battell block,
above the ground floor and a fire escape
runs up at the rear. Some person or
persons went up the fire escape to the
Cushman landing and succeeded in pry-
ing up and opening a window sufficiently
to get into the main store room The
window was close by Mr.. Cushmans
desk and in the desk there was a bag
of small silver amounting to about $12,
which was taken. So far as could be
| learned nothing else was taken from
| the store. AS there was some suspicion
as to the identity of the intruder the
matter was kept dark for few days

some clue, but so far this expectation
has been in vain and therefore the case
has at last been made known. This Is
