Work of Organized Thieves
Members of an organized gang of
thieves broke into the Thompson Dry
Goods Cos store some time between
closing hour on last Saturday night and
oponing time this Monday morning and
stole and carried away a quantity of silk
goods Word came up from Oxford
Tuesday that such goods were being
sold there by suspicious parties Mr
Thompson Sheriff Crabtree Marshal
Gray and Deputy Sheriff R M Osburn
went down to Oxford on Tuesday night
and after looking over the situation Mr
Thompson swore out four search war
rants and recovered eroods in all of the
houses searched in all quite a per cent
of his total loss
It comes to light that a number of
other robberies have occurredalong the
line of the Burlington lately Minden
Oxford Mascot and other merchants
suffering losses
It appears to be pretty well demon
strated that Oxford criminals provide
the fence for tho disposal of stolen
goods
The method of the thieves seems to bo
to leave no apparent evidence of robbery
in the stores entered croods beincr re
moved and the empty boxes cartons
etc placed back on the shelves in regu
lar order Hence the thefts often go
undiscovered for days and the perpetra
tors thus easily go undetected
Show Day Tomorrow
Tho Famous Floto Shows united ex
hibit in McCook tomorrow afternoon
and night The parade will be given at
1030 a m and tho pretty Shetland
Iceland and Welsh ponies along with
the Arabian coach and draft horses
will be seen to advantage hundreds of

keys of every species the large man
eating baboons to the smallest spider
monkey There will be pretty little
mounted child riders and funny old
clown and donkey drivers A funny old
clown band will amuse the crowds that
gather on the streets Pretty wagons
chariots and trappings will be displayed
Parents come out bring the children
and give them a treat always to be re
membered The afternoon performance
will start at 230 The people of Mc
Cook and the surrounding country will
have an opportunity of witnessing the
prettiest neatest high class moral en
tertainment ever given in the city The
prices are so low everybody can attend
Children 20 cents adults 30 cents Free
pony rides will be given the little folks
