THIEVES AT GOLF CLUB
Lockers Rifled. Cigar Case Cleaned Out
md Food Carried Away

Thieves broke into the club house Of
the Waubanakee Golf Club on Shelburne
road some time Tuesday night and took
away with them property valued at be-
tween 1900 and s50o. Up to last evening
nobody had been taken into custody in
connection with the affair, although the
sheriffs department is giving it close at
tention. The property stolen was largely
clothing and shoes taken from 81 lockers
which were rifled. An express
wagon was taken out Of the barn:
tho kitchen was practically stripped of
food; the cigar case was cleaned out and
empty soda bottles were scattered all
about the place.
George Frazier. professional at the links,
was the ono who discovered the robbery.
When he arrived at the club house about
seven O'Clock yesterday morning. he
found screen ripped open. where the
thieves had evidently entered through
window. The soda bottles scattered around
attracted his attention also and he began
to investigate.
1t did not take much searching to dis
cover where the thieves mad been at work.
The locks on number of the lockers had
been forced and clothing removed, in
Guiding shoes. sweaters, knickerbockers
and golf stockings, most of them expensive
articles.
From the time the club steward left
the house Tuesday evening, between SOW
en- and 7:3O o'clock. nobody in authority
was there until Mr.. Frazier arrived early
yesterday morning. so that 1t is impossi-
hlc to tell at lust what time the thieves
broke in. From all indications. the rob-
bers were familiar with the premises and
knew about the habits of the people at
the club house. They evidently knew That
they had plenty Of time at their disposal.
for they appear to have spent consdera-
BILE time about the place. drinking soda
and going through things pretty thor
oughly. 1t is not thought that the break
is the work Of boys. either the caddies
at the club, or others
| The club house is located nearly oppo-
! site to the Home for Destitute Children
in secluded spot 60 that there were no
passersby to interrupt the thieves Some
Iof the property which they took can be
easily disposed Of, hut the knickorbockers
and golf stockings would hardly sell well
in this vicinity. AS they are not in com
mon use except by golfers. A round OF
the second hand stores in the city yestcr'
day did not bring to light any of the stol.
