The stores of II. L. Ilushnell and II.
R. Green were burglarized Sunday
night, tho robbers getting about 830
worth of merchandise and a few" cents
in cash from each. They effected
entrance by prying tho windows up In
the. back storo rooms. They visited
Mr. ItiiBlineU'B place again Monday
night. During Saturday and Sunday
they took up their abode at the school
house, being seen their Sunday by two
boys who were after a ball and mitt.
The janttor found several skeleton
keys and other tools and also some
cigars and tobacco, llushnell's brands,
hid away In tho building. They got
into tho school house by way of tho
coal chute. There Is no clow at present
which would lead to their apprehen
sion. It is to bo deplored that the law
is so impotent to reach fellows of this
class and that Nebraska's law makers
have been so far unable to provide for
an effective constabulary. This is but
one Instance among half a dozen in the
last three years of burglary here and
yet no ono has ever been arrested.
The wonder is that the cases aro not
more frequent and the value of stuff
stolen greater.
