DARING BURGLARY
IN CENTER OF CITY

A showcase in front OF the entrance
to the Westheimer & Daube store,
on Main street, was broken last
night and two overcoats and two
fur collars stolen therefrom. The
robbery was a very bold one when
it is considered that the show case
extends almost to the sidewalk, on
the busiest street in the city, nearly
opposite the principal hotel, and
with the streets we'll lighted.
Chief of Police Segler said he had
not seen the patrolman on that beat,
as the robbery was not discovered
until men came to open the store
this morning, and the officers had
gone home, but he supposed they
were at the depot to meet a train
when the robbery was committed.
He said he passed there after mid
night, and everything was all right
