BURGLARS IN BUTLER
The Sam'l Levy Mercantile Com
pany's Store Visited by Thieves
and a Good Haul Made.

Robbers entered the Sam'l Levy
Mercantile Companys store in this
city some time early Monday MORN
ing and carried away a large quanti-
ty OF valuable merchandise Entrance
was gained to the store through the
lear door Of the dry goods depart
mcnt and the indications are that
truck was backed up to the door and
loaded.
In the ladies ready to wear depart
ment number of silk dresses, silk
waists, suits and other articles were
taken. Is the mems department the
thieves helped themelves to the store
entire stock OF silk shirts, some shoes
and a few other articles and several
suits OF Kuppenheimer clothes.
Every suit case in stock was taken
and it is supposed that they were
filled with the other goods SO that
handling would be easier. 1t will
require an invoice to tell just what the
less will amount to.
The loss was discovered when the
store was opened for business Mon
day morning and it is not known just
at what hour it occurred. Marshal
Braden says that when he tested the
doors at $50 clock Sunday night he
found the rear door to the dry goods
department locked though loose and
not in the exact condition in which 1t
is usually lett and it is his opinion
that the burglars were i'll the store at
that time gathering up the loot and
that some time later the truck was
brought up and the merchandise
packed in. AT 100 o'clock on his
second round he found the door still
locked.
So far there is no clew to the
thieves but it is supposed that they
were from some nearby city and that
before morning they had the goods
safely slowed away
