ATTEMPTED BURGLARS
The Store of rutthevs Brothers Wi
Visited Daring the Night
An attempt was made jo burglar
ize the «tore of Matthews Brother
at an early hour his morning am
but for the timely arrival of twi
rnen who .*.<· « m ployed in the ta'iot
Ing depaitn.ent the burglar won ι
have got'en > way with goods to t'n
amount about $75. The tai'cr
who divoy. ed the burglar work
t h»· d"p-. rtmeiâ' on the second fin-»
i of the building. They usually go it
early In the morning and reach theii
department by a stairway on the out
te at the rear of the building. Thii
morning as they were approaching
the stairway they saw a man stari
from (he bai k door and run off ir
the darkness. They followed hlir
«me distance but were not able tc
overtake him and not being armed
they could not take a shot at the
nocturnal visitor. Returning to th»
store they found the back door open
and Just on the inside was a large
tow Hack filled with goods taken
from the «tore A call was made for
a police but as the man had com-
pletely disappeared there was no
possible chance of apprehending
him A reporter for this paper whf
among the first to reach the store
after the attempted burglary He
removed the contents from the sack
and found gOi»ds enough to start a
first class notion store There was
one hat. a pair of gloves two pair*
of pants four suite of underwear
and handkerchiefs and suspenders
by the doasen
The tailors who discovered the
burglar were not close enough to
him to establish his identity but
I they belie· e It was either a yellow
negro or a white man
The officers are still investigat-
ing the matter but as they have no
clew to work on It is doubtful if an
arrest is ever made.
Λ* there were no signs of any
door* of windows having bef-n broken
the burglar is believed to have hid-
den himself in the store lust night
before It «as closed
