Knterril Pair Blore Through Hack Win
ilim KflTurt Mailn to Find Trn With
Tlloodhoiiiiil Irnvnl Unsuccessful Left
Their Tool on the Floor
From Tinrmfky Dully
Tho Fnir Htoro was burglarized lost
night and cash and goods to tho value of
more than 600 wub takon Tho first to
dlEoover what had transpired was 0 11
Blakoly head clerk in the grocery de
partment who opened the establishment
this morning nbout hnlf past six oclock
When ho entered he found several
hammers including a sledge n braco
aud bits two obisels and a pair of tongs
lying on tho floor Ho quickly realized
that tho storo had been robbed nnd
began an investigation Tho money
drawer was found pried open nnd lying
on the floor tho contents 040 in cash
having been removed
It was found that tho bnrglura had
gnined entrance to tho building by pry
ing open a back window on tho dry
goods Rido and evidently made their
exit through tho back entrance of the
same department as the main door was
open nlthough tho storm door had been
closed Tho buck door of tho grocery
department had also been opened as
was revealed by an examination of tho
looks This morning an effort was
mado to trace the robbers with tho aid
of Constablo J H Conleys bloodhund
Ho is a young dog and hasnt been
trained so that efforts in this direction
were unavailing and no trace of the
thieves has yet been discovered
The tools with which the store was
broken open were taken from the Prib
benow blacksmith shop which had also
been forcibly entered It is supposed
that the robbery was committed some
timo onrly this morning as the mud
from tho thieves shoes on the cellar
door and fenco was not yet dry when
tho investigation was made Officer
Kane who was on duty all day and un
til 12 30 last night wub positive there
was no disturbance before that timo
There were evidently several mem
bers of the gang nnd that thoy were not
altogether green at the business and un
familnr with the store was evidenced by
the fact that they took only valuable
dry goods consisting largely of French
lluunels Foulard silks and Scotch plaids
The value of the goods taken is esti
mated about 500
The effort to discover the burglars hns
not beon discontinued but it is thought
before this they hnvo got muny miles
away from Norfolk Some are of the
opinion that it is tho work of nn old
gnng that has been operating in this
part of the country for some time
