BURGLARS INVADE
MARKET STREET
Steal Silk Shirts From James G.
Tuck's Store After Smashing
Window With a Brick.

Hurting brick wrapped III paper bag
was the method used early this morning
when burglars smashed the large plate
glass and successfully carried away n
dozen silk shirts valued at 81 so each
from the window Of James c. Tuck s
furnishing store, at 419 Market street
The robbery was discovered at o. clock
by Maxwell Mahoney, who is engaged
by merchants in that locality as night
watchman. and ii was while on his last
round, trying the doors, that he stumbled
over a shirt on the floor of the yestibule
Further investigation revealed that the
large quarter-inch plate glass had been
broken and the shirts IN the window
disarranged. Mr. Mahoney at once called
Mr.. Tuck by telephone and after more
thorough investigation the brick wrapped
in paper was found in far section Of the
window
That the robbery was premeditated is
evident, for the thief selected a time for
his work when the vestibule was in dark
ness and in carrying out his work, large
pole, with nail at the end, was used
n selecting the twelve silk shirts. All
cotton shirts were pushed aside and only
these Of better quality taken.
Mr. Mahoney states that at 2 o'clock
the store had not been broken into and
that he had seen no suspicious characters
in the vicinity. Two Negroes were seen
lettering for some time near the entrance
to the Tuck store yesterday and good
description of both men has been gwen
the police.
The damage to the plate glass is covered
by insurance.
