BURGLARS LOOT

Atkinson, Nov 24-The follow
ing is taken from a Winona paper:
"A nice clever little burglary was
enacted at Kerwein's clothing store
in Wenona last Friday night when
three men entered Mr. Kerwein's
store and stripped, took a bath in
a pail of water he had there, using
bandanas for bath towels, then
fitted themselves out in the
best of everything in the store, IN
derclothing, shoes, stockings, best
suits, overcoats, hats and in fact
everything needed for a complete
outfit. Upon rough estimate they
carried away with them about $500
worth of the best clothing and left
nothing but their old clothing. 1t
was said strangers were seen in
town that day, but 10 one has
been able to locate them since Mr..
Kerwein is a son-in-Iaw of William
Graham of this city.
