Telephone Office Robbed.
The office of The Cherry County
Telephone Co. , was entered by a
lone robber about 5:30 : o'clock
Tuesday morning. Entrance was
gained'by removing a storm sash
and raising a window opening on
the back porch. There are three
rooms in the suite. The robber
enterecl the back room and made
<
his way .to the office. The cash
register was ransacked and about
§ iO , mostly silver and pennies ,
was "taken. In going from the
back room to the office the man
passed1 by two of the operators ,
Miss Mabel Alderman and Miss
Alma Nelson , who were sleeping
on a couch in the middle room.
Miss Alderman is a light sleeper
and cannot understand how any
one could pass through the room
and open the register without
making enough noise to awaken
her. 'pChe girls room was lighted
by a 4 : candle power lamp but the
other rooms were dark. About
3 o'clbck both girls were awake
and as it was very warm they
opened the door leading into the
back-iroora. On the way out of
the office the man again passed
within arras reach of their bed
and Miss Nelson was awakened by
his hand or coat brushing her face.
The frightened girl screamed and
the robber disappeared through
the door , closing it after him.
They phoned to the bakery for
help and the night man there went
up and searched for the intruder
but no trace of him could be found.
He went out the back door and
down the steps to the alley. Miss
Nelsoti had only passing glance
at the man and her description is
meager. He wore a black over
coat and had a white handkerchief
over the lower part of his face ,
and appeared to be stooping or
bending over when she caught
sight of him.
