EIIIERED MD ROBBED LAST IB
Entrance b Forced Through Rear Window and the Cashier'
Drawer Robbed of Twenty Dollars
Fill FOR THE
FOURTH G ROWS
From Monday's Da!?;"
Some time during last night-bur
glars effected an entrance to the
store of E. G. Dovey & Son and made
away with some twenty odd dollars in
money which had been left over night
in the drawer at the cashier's desk.
The burglary was not discovered un
til this morning when the clerks came
down to open up the store for the
day.
There ls.no means of telling the
time the crime was committed nor Is
there any clue to the perpetrators of
the deed. The store closed last even
ing as usual at seven o'clock and the
cash for the day 'had been balanced
and a small amount in change left in
the cashier's drawer. This desk Is
located at the extreme end of the
store, being situated in a position to
command both the dry goods and
grocery side of the store and within
a few feet of the rear of the south
wall. At this point in the wall are
two windows, large and commodious
to have plenty plenty of light for the
desk. The desk is used jointly by the
cashier and book-keeper and faces
" the two store rooms. It is surround
ed by a wooden fence with a gate at
the rear of the dessk.
The burglars effected 'an entrance
by forcing open the wooden shutters
which cover the back windows and
which lock on the inside. These
shutters were closed when the store
was closed for the night and locked
on the inside by the ordinary hook
catch. These had been pried out, a
a portion of the frame work removed
to facilitate the work of the burg
lars. A pry was then placed under
the window and it was forced up,
affording plenty of room for, the en
trance of the criminals. After se
curing their entrance the burglars
proceeded directly to the cash draw
er in the cashier's desk which they
forced open with a chisel. The chisel
was inserted back of the drawer and
Jt was forced outward until the con
tents were available for the thieves.
When they left they forgot the chisel
which was left on the desk. It may
afford some clue to the perpetrators
of the crime. The window was left
open behind them, but no one seems
to have noticed it during the night,
as no report of the burglary was
made by the night watchman or night
police.
When the clerks arrived to open
the store this morning they found
that the usually dark part of the
house at the rear where the windows
are closed with shutters, was par
tially lighted and this led to the in
vestigation revealing the open win
dow. Mr. Dovey was at once called
up and he hurried down to the store
where the examination revealed that
nothing had been taken save the
money In the cashier's drawer

While he has no definite idea as to
who could have done the job, he be
lieves that there is a chance yet for
detecting the robber.
From indications about the scene
it would appear that whoever has
been guilty of the job has had consid
erable experience about the store,
and it has been suggested that some
ex-employe possibly knows something
about the crime. Investigation along
this line may be made by the officers
and there is a possibility of locating
the criminal through this means.
This burglary is the first to take
place in the business part of the city
for sometime past, and It bears the
Imprint of being the work of some
parties who recently burglarized the
residences of Oliver C. Dovey and
Miss Louise Gorder. " The work does
not seem that of yeggmen, as they
would not have had the accurate
knowledge of locality which is dis
played in this case. There is con
siderable criticism of the officers for
said for them that they have found
the task a comparatHely easy one
and have met with hardly a rebuff.
The great big celebration of two
years ago paved the way for this one
and it is hoped to keep it up to that
standard.
The general committee meets to
morrow night when definite plans
will be sketched out. Estimates as
to cost of different things will be had
and organization perfected. A com
mittee on concessions will doubtless
be appointed at this meeting and
steps taken to line up this important
detail of the affair. In connection
with the concession matter there is
an unanimous desire on the part of
the members of the order and the
committee to secure clean, moral and
respectable concessions. No gambling
concessions will be allowed if the
committee knows It and there will
be no "skin games" running with
their knowledge or cousent. An in
vitatlon will be extended to visitors

the night and the general opinion
prevails that the crime took place
about midnight with some five or six
hours in which to have it discovered.
No report had been received by Chief
Rainey of the affair until about 8:30
this morning when the Journal re
porter told him of it. A little more
strict supervision of the alleys Is ne
cessary in the immediate future to
prevent the recurrence of more af
fairs of this kind. In the meantime
all the authorities should devote their
efforts to trying to locate the per
petrators of this deed and bring them

Read as Tou Run. . ,
An humorous article in Saturday's
Journal relating to the misadven
tures of the person editing (?) the
News has caused that Individual to
slop ever and indulge in about half
a column of filth, vulgarity and bill
ingsgate worthy a fishwife, ha bar
ing been some peeved over the mat
ter. The facta In the case are that
he did break down the machine which
that paper is going to attempt to
give away. He broke the gear of
the machine and if that is not an
important part of it, what is? The
machine is of good make and In the
hands of a competent person would
not likely have brokeen down, but no
machine on earth can be handled by
every person without knowledge of
how to handle It, without being
broken. The machine has been tem
porary repaired bat if the broken
. parts are not replaced, the winner ot
the machine will have to do so at his
or her own expense. Thus much for
the facts. In the News article con
siderable stress is laid on the fact
"that the Journal owes money and
this is true. The proprietor hopes
to get out of debt some day and he
is trying his best. So much cannot
be said of others. The proprietor
of the Journal has his light bill paid
and does not have to be eternally
dunned for it nor for machinery
which the light company put In his
plant. The coal bill of the Journal is
paid and has been promptly, and no
merchant has been compelled to ad
vertise in his paper in order to col
lect his bill. The Journal has mod
ern machinery in its plant and owes
something on that but it is paying
that off and does not Intend to repu
diate Its contracts and "set the thing
out In the street."
The publisher of the Journal works
sixteen to eighteen hours a day on
it and has no time for Joy rides nor
has he a sucker on the string to put
up money for him. In some cases If
it was not for the sucker In the case
the bills and overdrafts of some pa
pers never would be paid.
And, lastly, the Journal is not wor
ried over the effusions of gutter
snipes and fly-by-nights who may
venture Into the community and re-1 atnletic stunts will take the lead
in a healthy, clean and moral man
