Burglars Pay Visit

TAKING MANY ARTI-
Giles THROUGH WIN
DOW

Joe Mulberg's store on North
Duval street was visited by rob-
bers during the early morning
hours, and goods to the value of
$3.50 were stolen.
The thieves did not enter the
store. They pried open a window
and while standing on stack of
empty boxes broke the glass and
then took all the articles of mer-
chand:se within their reach. 1t
was the window facing the Gaiti
barber shop, and the robbers stood
within six feet of the sidewalk
while stealing the goods. Mrs.
Mulberg, who was sleeping up
$ airs, heard the noise, but thought
it was in the next door building.
Mr.. Crews, manager of the Null
berg store, says that most of the
goods stolen were broadcloth
shirts, blouse waists, etc. He
found one waist near the window
this morning and some empty
boxes, from which shirts had been
removed, out near the old Cato
factory building.
Mr.. Crews thinks it is the work
of juvenile crooks and that they
will be apprehended.

MAJOR CLARKE
IS VICTIM OF
EXPLOSION
MARINE OFFICER WAS FOR

that point was simply wiped out.
Major Clarke was widely known
and highly esteemed in Key West,
and his family was prominent in
ell the society realm of the city.
No service man ever came to Key
West and acquired q greater num-
Der of friends than did Major H.
B. Clarke. He was enthusiastic
over athletics and took part in
most all such events during h:s
stay in Key West and was ideasi-
fled with every movement Of pro-
egress for the welfare of The city
and community.
The hearts of Key West people
viii go out in tenderest and most
sincere sympathy for Mrs. Clarke
and her two bright little boys.
