WINDOW ROBBERY
SUNDAY NIGHT NETS
-FOUR REvOlvERS
Valuable Guns Stolen From KOk0m0
Tire Store window During
Sunday Night BY Glass N
Smashers.

Sometime during late Sunday night
or early Monday morning the large
plate glass window in the front Of the
Kokomo Tire store In lower Market
street was smashed and four very val
liable revolvers worth in. all aprroxi-
mately $125 or $3.50 we're stolen.
The large glass was smashed near
the bottom Of the window frame and
appears to have been smashed with
wrapped brick or hammer. The glass
is cracked for quite distance up and
hole is broken large enough for
good sized article to be removed. The
revolvers were the most valuable
articles In the window. Whether other
small articles such as spark plugs,
etc., were removed or not is not
known by the management as they
do not know how many Of these small
articles were in the window but they
are of the impression that several
other small articles were also stolen.
Police and the Merchant Policeman
say they passed this building late in
the night and noticed no one in the
neighborhood. One prominent busi-
ness man was in that neighborhood at
2 a. m. Monday morning and saw no
one. The crash of the glass was not
heard by the night clerk at the Cen
tral Hotel nor by others who were
awake in the neighborhood.
