AMATURE BURGLARS
Gunnison Empire.


A rather unusual burglary and rob-
'ery was visited upon Roger Teach
outs establishment on the Boulevard,
'arly Wednesday morning,
When Mr.. Teachout came to his
place of business Wednesday about
seven in the morning, he discovered
that one of the panes of glass had
been removed from window on the
south side of the building and thieves
had entered and robbed the money
drawer of the cigar stand of between
so 90 and $1,000
Nothing else in the store was
touched although large sum of
money was in the cash register at
that time. Quantities of candies and
cigers were available on the counters
but nothing was disturbed. .
Another peculiar feature was the
fact that the thief or thieves care
fully removed the pane of glass by
7hipping away the putty and then
placed the glass to one side where it
would not get broken.
Novices were no doubt the perpetra-
'ors of the crime, for quantities of
finger prints and foot prints were left
'ehind which should make the task

easy one urr sa. -l. -

Reverend Bernard Geiser is cer-

the seasonable Evergreen. boughs he
has placed about which add greatly
to the holiday spirit of the city.
The rather unusual fog on Monday
morning certainly created a beauti-
full fairy picture in our valley. The
1ampness left the trees coated with
heavy frost flowers of wonderful de-
