lock on the inner door. Eight au-
tomobile tubes valued at $50 were
taken. A tire iron used by Mr.. Jen-

iron, which was found later in the
store of the Eastlake Cash Meat Mar
ket, had been used for prying open
the windows. both in the meat market
and the fruit market. The only thing
reported stolen from the meat market
was a revolver. which had been left
on the counter.

meat market. tho thieves made a haul
valued at about 800. The entire stock
was practically confiscated.
