Make Small
Haul at SoIso Store
Before Interrupted

| Red Lodges robbery of the current
week was perpetrated on the Solsc
store Tuesday night, when thieves
breaking through rear window
tapped the cash register till for S5
in change, and took from the safe
some $12 in silver. The safe was not
locked. There was evidence around
the cash drawer of an attempt to pry
open one of the lower drawers.
The robbery was discovered by
Matt Woodrow, Jr., clerk at the Cole
man store. Returning from the car
nival about 1920 o'clock he passed the
side of the building on his way home.
Coming to the side door, he noticed
shadows moving about inside His
first thought was that Mr.. Solso was
working in the store. But as he pro-
ceeded toward the alley his suspicion
became aroused. He turned again to
look into the store and as he did so,
saw head duck down behind a barrel.
Woodrow sped back to the Broadway
corner to give the alarm. He re-
turned to the rear of the store again,
and then discovered the broken win
dow. The night watchman was noti-
fled, Mr.. Solso was summoned, and
a crowd gathered quickly, but as
young Woodrow states: ut was all |
over then The thieves had fled.
A later check on the contents of
he safe made by Mr.. Solso revealed
hat a small cash box in which he
lad stored two lodge rings, watch,
md other jewelry and papers of vaue
lad also been taken.
