BURGLARS ENTER
THREE MARSE|LLES
BUSINESS HOUSES
FOUR SUSPECTS BEING HELD IN
JAIL AWAITING INVESTIGATION
$50 IN CASH STOLEN FROM
THREE STORES.

Some time last night, three stores
on the west side of Main street were
burglarized The thief or thieves
gained entrance to the stores in all
cases in the same manner
In the store of w II. Slor they
forced the lock by using a pinch.bar,
apparently just common one such
as and carpenter uses. The marks
were plainly to be seen on the casing
where the door was pried open, Hav.
ing gained entrance to this store, they
foced the lock on the cash register,
and obtained there S23 in cash which
had been left over night in the store
None of the merchandise in the store
was touched.
The next store store south was the
butcher shop of l.. j. kellogg, where
they gained entrance through the
cellar door, forcing it in the same
manner as in the Slor building. There
they found the cash register open,
with no money in it, Kellogg uses a
McCaskry fling bookkeeping system,
which has a cash drawer underneath.
This was forced and $25 taken from
there. Nothing else in the store was
disturbed, except that apparently they
had taken some lunch. weinies and
cold meats for lunch.
They then apparently proceeded TO
the store of r. r White. Here they
used a skeleton key to unlock the out
side door. The insie door between
the store room and the store proper,
was fastened with a strong hold. Here
they had used the Jimmy to pry the
door open. and in doing so they tore
the door castings loose. broke the jam
of the door, tearing the bolt off the
door on the inside, and splintering the
door .
They found the cash drawer in
Whites store open, and So in money.
Mr.. White says he always leaves a
dollar or two in change at night. The
thieves in leaving dropped a couple
of pennies on the floor. White saws
ii they will come back and mend the
door he will give them the pennies.
When they left Whites store they
reIocked the outside door. The bur
glary must have been committed be-
tween u and O'Clock, for Edwin
White was in the store at II o'clock,
and the baker, Mr. +. Kusmaul, who
bakes bread in the basement arrived ut
the store at O'Clock. and found moth
ing wrong with his department. Moth
ing was taken in any of the stores
but money.
Sheriff Ayers was on the ground
this m0rnink looking over the situa-
ton but up to this writing. no trace
has been found Of the thief.

in the old calaboose last night, and

ago a Prosser city council went on
record in favor of digging well,
buying gasoline engine and pumping
some water. In recognition of such
forethought and foresight Judge Mills
reopens the dam case and holds that
Prosser has a prior right to 100 Sec

there is some solace. Prosser folk

they overlooked a golden opportunity
