Petty Thieves at Work

Thieves, suspected to be small boys
stole two ladies coats thru an open
window at the A. l.. Jenson home
Saturday evening. The coats were
the property Of Mrs. d. o. Nelson and
Mrs. O. J. Coons, and they were foun.l
on the sidewalk outside the house
when the ladies discovered their loss
and started to look for them. The
gloves and handkerchiefs are missing
so that it is thot the thieves were
searching for money, which they fail
eel to find An alarm clock which was
standing on the dresser near the win

This theft is the first that has Oc-
Cured in the city and it is to be hoped
