BURGLARS PULL
TWO JOBS HERE
Blow Safes, But Get Less
Than Two Hundred
Dollars i
DRUNKEN WOMAN GIVES
OFFICERS FAKE TIP
Checks and Insurance Policies
Found i'm Road a
Mile West of
Village

Tive local business places were
bnrglarized early last Thursday morn
ing, the safe in each blown open and
looted, and an attempt made upon a
third place.
AS near as can be judged the burg
laries took place between 2 and 5
O'Clock, Stanley Funk's restaurant
evidently being the first place at
tackled, and the Gibbs Motor Co. gar
age the second. At the former place
about SIS was taken and at the latter
$155, both amounts in cash. The doors
on both safes were blown distance
of several feet.
Both Marshal Stowe White and
Nightwatchman AL Hange were on
the square at the time and state that
they distinctly heard the explosions,
but could not definitely locate the
directions from which the sound
emanated. Both men separated,
White investigating about the public
square and the north part of town.
while Hange went down South Court
street, thinking perhaps one of the
explosions had been at the Farmers
Exchange. AS he approached the lat
ter place he saw man trying to- eff
feet an entrance through a window
on the south side of the building.
The man observing Hange at the
same time, ran around to the east
side of the building and disappeared
in the darkness
On his way back to the square
Hange says he tried the doors of the
Gibbs. garage, but they were locked
and he took for granted that every
thing there was alright. Batter in try
ing the doors to the business places
on North Court street he discovered
the rear door If Funk's restaurant
unlocked. Entering he saw what had
occurred.
The robbery of the Gibbs garage
was not discovered until 7 or 3
o'clock Thursday morning, by Earl
Gibbs, as he was passing thru his
| place of business and observed the
wrecked safe.
A singular circumstance attending
both robberies was that the burglars
entered through windows, which they
jimmied, but left through doorways.
/ At Funk's restaurant entrance was
made thru north window of the
kitchen; at the garage also through
a north window. The former was
shielded from the street by other
buildings, the latter by the close prox-
unity of an automobile.
"A monkey-wrench and blacksmith
hammer we're found lying near the
Gibbs safe, but whether they belonged
to some local shop could not with
certainty be ascertained.
The officers state they have no
clue to the robbers. An inebriated
colored woman aroused Stanley
Funk from sleep at his home about 5
O'Clock Friday morning with the
statement that two colored roomers
at her house had committed the rob-
berry. Investigation Of the woman's
story by Sheriff Bigelow proved that
it was groundless, and was hatched
by her while angered over a drunken
row in which she and her husband
and the two roomers had been engag-
ed the night before. In fact, after
she had, sobered up she admitted the
fabrication. ~
On Monday a boy picked up some
checks and insurance policies of the
Gibbs Motor Co. taken by the burg7
large and thrown away west of town.
