Midnight Prowlers
Get Little Plunder.
. Robbers ontered tho North Side hard
ware storo some, time during tho night
and also the C. 0. D. cleaning estab
lishment and the Blalock feed store.
They succeeded in getting very little
plunder so far as can be discovered,
although they broke open the money
drawers and tho cash register in tho C.
O. D. establishment.
They made entrance to the hardware
store . through the back door with
a file. Four revolvors were taken and
four razors and a few shells and other
small articles. They toro open the desk
and broko into the money box, but it
contained nothing but papers. They
also broke tho mouey drawer with a
hatchet, but there was very little in it
jjind thoy took nothing. Tho-drawer
contained only a few pennies and some
trade chipa on the North Sido grocery.
In! the cleaners theyj pried open the
cash register and took $20.40 which
had been left The register is bent out
of shape and will need repairing. They
also broke it up In several places.
They tapped the money drawer of tho
Blalock feed store and tore it down in
getting in, but it contained nothing,
Entrance was gained through a rear
window and it is thought that they
opened it during the day, as it has al
ways been kept locked. They left a
knife which the had taken from the
hardware, store on the floor near the
cash register in the cleaning establish
ment. No clew as to the identity of the
robbera is had with the exception of
the hardware they took, which can be
identified-
