Very shortly the red-haired man left the store and almost immediately the other two concluded their business with Mr. Wilson and left likewise. Although MT. Wilson suspected nothing, it is re- ported, he happened to step to the door after them and noticed that the three were walking together some distance fur corner. In the store the three had given no signs of knowing each other.
 It is supposed that the red-haired man slipped down to the safe at the rear of the store and got the wallet of diamonds while his two confederates saw to it tIiat MT. Wilson's attention was kept closely confined to their pretended purchase. An open aisle alongside a. large. center counter in the store leads straight to the safe, and it is considered it would be comparatively easy matter for profes- sional to make his way there while he kept his eyes on the others in the store to see that he was not interrupted or ob- served.
 The robbery was discovered about two hours later, when there was occasion to go to the safe, and the wallet of dia- monds was found to be missing. The theft was at once reported to police head quaretrs and the alaarm was sent out to neighboring cities.

 his store some time ago. asking to look
 at loose stones. MT. Sanford made an ap-

 Some days later a man who is sup. visited the Sanford store appeared at thu l jewelry store of Frank w. Guild q | Broadway, and looked at diamonds Afte1 | the mans departure Mr. Guild reported t, the police the loss of a S250 diamond ring

Some go to widows with large fam lilies of small children. others to elderly couples in need and still others to homes where the father is disabled or out of work. MT Northrop said Wednesday afternoon that there will remain on hand a quantity of vegetables, potatoes and squashes, turnips, carrots, etc, WHICH He VIII Keep OI HdHu TUT ulSlIl- button throughout the winter as occasion arises.
