Long past midnight Tuesday night. I George Barber, the chef, and Leonard McBroome, the younger son of tine owner, were alone in the P. O. square lunch car. ] In getting reday to close up for the night Leonard was required to pass out by the rear of the Finn block. While there he noticed thar the big freight door of the Finn BrOs-' grocery department was ajar. Believing that burglars were operating inside, be notified the chef. Barber .an to his room near by and sc- cured his trusty revolver. Soon Officer McDermett was there and the trio en- tered the store. Fiashlight rays sent in behind the dim pszes of barrels and boxes revealed nothing George. pistol in hand, kept watch at the door wiskle the oficer telepho1ed for Mfr. Finn and his son Dan. Heavily armed. they soon arrived and joined the lyunt. MT. Finn said he leaves no money there, and not evan a plug of tobacco was missing. Either the would
 be burglars were aware of the chefs prowess with shooting irons or the door
 was left innecurely locked and as a re- suit of the high wind the fastenings
 worked loose. The latter answer seems to be it. Yet the excitement Wednesday morning was somethkng to talk about when it was reported that several hun dred dollars had been stolen.
