As Policeman Trout was making his rounds and had turned the corner of Locust nnd Front, two men hied themselves from the entrance to tho Tramp store, one cutting across the street toward tho U. P. tracks, the other running down Fropt. Trout immediately telephoned Mr. Tramp, who came over and in com pany with Trout examined tho door. It was ojind that the facing to the latch had been unscrewed, aniTtho Mcli had dropped from the socket, allowing tho lower portion of the door to bo sprung enough to unloosen the floor bolt on the twin door. Tho burglars, however, had not reckoned that there was a lock above tho latch, and it is probable that they were working on this when fright ened away by Trout's appearance. A fresh snow had fallen, and tho fel low who had crossed tho street was tracked to the hotel lnundry where ho had evidently entered. No tracks leaving tho laundry could bo found.
