Some time. during the latter part OF
the night Tuesday burglars entered the
store Of A. Zegeer on Soule street. An
inventory taken by Mr.. Zegeer wednes-
day proves his loss to be at least $4,000.
The principal loot consisted of shoes and
mems clothing, with all the high valued
articles in silk. Entrance was effected
by jtnnnfyying one Of the rear cellar win
dosss. !, Then their method of procedure
was made plain by one bundle they left,
1t being too bulky to be dragged through
the window. They took 100 pairs of high
grade shoes-this fact was proven by the
empty boxes scattered through. the shoe
department. These they tied up in new
WOODEN bed: blankets, 80 of which were
missing. these bundles were carried
down to Soule street. as were the later
cargoes, to a waiting machine of some
sort, people going down souIe street
