AAutomobile

A. 8 douglass was treated to .
rattle g agreeable surprise this morn
ing 81 upon opening his barbering
ests g ment at 6s North Main street,
he - vered that some night maraud-
er had made away with his safe,
which contained about ten dollars. An
investigation by the police failed to
unearth any positive clues as to the
identity of the thief or as to the way.
in which he made his entrance.
MIR. Douglass left his shop at six
o'clock last evening and, before lock-
ing the front door, locked the back
door, and left the key turned halfway
in the lock, SO that IL would be more
difficult to unlock the door from the
outside. This morning everything was
as he left it, with the exception of
the back door, which was unlocked.
The key to the back door lay on the
floor near the door. There were foot
tracks and automobile tracks in the
alley at the back of the shop, which
would lead to the supposition that the
safe was loaded into waiting auto
mobile.
None of the razors were taken and
a number of other yaluables were left
untouched and this makes it appear
that the thief was in a hurry to make
his getaway.
The safe Is a small one standing
about foot and half high and
weighing about go pounds.
