A CLEVER CROOK ROBS
GOLDEN HOTEL GUESTS
S'ome time during last night a
lever sneak thief robbed five rooms
occupied by traveling salesmen, in the
Golden hotel. The rooms were all
locked and bolted on the inside, and
it is apparent that the job was done
through the transom. In each in
stance the thief evidently procured the
trousers of the victim with a hook of
some kind through the transom; the
trousers were all left in the rooms.
This morning a number of checks
and a flash light were found in an un
occupied room.
No clew to the theft has been un
covered.
The total loss will amount to about
$100.00. The heaviest loser was E.
G. Shephard, the gentleman whose car
was stolen from in front of the Golden
on Wednesday evening of last week.
Mr. Shephard lost about $40.00.
