protection from forward passes. Eff

thus adding to the chain of nightly at
tempts to burglarize business houses
in various sections of the city.
Upon opening the store this morn
ing it was found an entrance had been
made sometime during the night by
means of window in the alley, which
had been pried open, although having
been securely fastened before the
store was closed last night. Three
cash registers were found open. but
as there had been no money left in
them, the thief met with disappoint-
ment. Mr. Smith, when interviewed
this morning by a representative Of
the Capital, said "Not even cigar
was taken" He further stated he
thought it was the work of boys. and
certainly whoever it was that broke
into his store was after money ana
nothing else, as there was no evidence
of anything missing
Late yesterday afternoon there was
another attempt at robbery reported
to the police department The store
of John r. Tydings, 161 Prince George

found with which pane of glass had
been cut from the window by the per-
son entering.
Except for few peanuts that had
been taken, nothing was found miss
ing, although a thorough examination
was made of the premises. 1t is be-
