 Someone evidently needed a new ou0it for Sunday and broke into Yielding Brothers, Twenty -secon1 street and Second avenue, north, and stole two suits of clothes, a pair of shoes and a hat. The thief must have had considerable trouble in finding a pair of shoes to fit him, as many boxes had been taken from the shelves and their contents left on the floor.
 Mir. and Mrs. R. J. Ensign, 1616 Eighth avenue, reported to police that burglars had broken into their home Friday night while they were in town and stolen practically all their clothing and table linen.
 A section of brick wall in the rear of the Leader Clothing company, First alley and Nineteenth street, was removed by thieves Friday night. They must have been fright ened away before they could mak 2 an entrance, as their tools were found.
 Burglars rifled a strong box of the Woco Pep station, Sixth street and Second avenue. and made away with $21220.
