THIEVES ENTER THREE STORES AT STUART (Stuart Advocate) Saturday morning it was discover ed that thieves had broken into three Stuart business houses during the night and a number of small articles had been taken. The places entered were the Peterson market on west Main street, the Wm. Krotter Co. implement shed at the south end of west Main street and the Kopp Lum ber Co., facing the highway south east of the general business section. At the Peterson market the thiev es took two revolvers, some canned goods, cigars, and a pair of field glasses and some small tools. At Kopp’s some tools were taken. No thing was missed at Krotter’s, the thieves apparently not having found anything to interest them. Entrance to all three places was effected by breaking in the back way. At about 11 o’clock the night of the robbery an Advocate reporter and other parties saw Dana Davis, former Stuart boy, together with a stranger of about the same size and age, in Stuart. Dana was once con victed of auto stealing and was paroled to Harold Beck, a farmer who lived northeast of Stuart and later moved away. He is a son of Mrs. Hazel Davis, formerly of Stu art. Sheriff Peter W. Duffy started attempts to locate the pair Saturday but they had disappeared. Tracks of the robbers were found and measured for identification pur poses, should any suspects be arrest ed. It wras rumored Tuesday that Dana Davis had been located at Norfolk, but there was no confirmation. Mrs. O. A. Kilpatrick and daughter Mrs. Glenn Tomlinson, are visiting relatives at Atlantic, Iowa.
