YEGGMEN GET $500
IN STORE ROBBERY
Drapery and Mattress Used
by Thieves to Deaden Sound
of Safe Breaking.

With fold of heavy drapery and a
mattress used to. deaden the sound,
a safe was wrecked with sledges and
crowbars in. the furniture store of
Hutchison & Co., at 1916 Fourteenth
street, early today and $50 in cash,
some $500 in checks and wrist watch
worth $3.50 stolen. The checks, however,
were non negotiable.
Whether the robbery was the work
of one yeggman or more was undeter-
mined. but it bore the earmarkS of
eKpertnssS not even a fingerprint being
found by investigators.
The burglary was discovered about
g O'Clock this morning by the manager.
F. w. Hetzel, when he opened for bust
ness. Entry had been made by forcing
a rear door. The large strong box was
battered into a mass 70 wreckage by
crowbars and other tools found on the
premises.
The burglary parallels in many re-
spects that of the Cadillac service ga
rage at 1922 Twenty-second street.
where an Office safe was broken up by
hammers and bars and several hum
bred dollars obtained.
A cfleck-up of the furniture stock
showed that nothing was taken beyond
the contents of the safe. The wrist
watch belonged to the wife of L. E.
Hutchinson of the furniture company.
