MORE WORK OF BURGLAR3 Washington Letter.
WATER WORKS ORDINANCE
Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, has
McCredie's Clothing Store visited Thursday And Passed The Conucil At Thursdj.v N'Sht Session
About $300 Worth Of Goods Taken.
The Red Front Also Entered But
Few Goods Were Taken
From There.
Burglars .again got busy last Thurs-
day night and The McCredie Clothing
store and the Red Front were the vie
tims this time. The thieves cut the
screen and broke out one of the win-
dows in the rear of the McCredie store
and packed four new suit cases with
overcoats, hats, shoes, shirts, neckties
suits and jewelry to the amount of
avout $300 and made a successful
get-away. They were very bold In
their work and took four suits from the
show window. They made a selec-
tion of the best grade of goods and
even went so far as to try on the shoes
to see that they had a fit. Both la
dies and mens shoes were taken and
only the highest priced goods. The
thieves were evidently In the building
lor some time as the way the stock
was overturned and goods removed
from boxes was evidence that they
went through the stock In a thorough
manner. The jewelry case was prac
tically stripped and $4 was registered
in the cash register but the midnight
prowlers failed to leave the amount of
their "purchase "
From McCredie the thieves went
into the Red Front which is seperated
only by a screen door. As far as
could be learned $1 70 from the cash
drawer and a bolt of dry goods was all
that was taken.
Marshal bumner was on the street
until after 10 o'clock and all was quiet
when he went home. The thieves
have not yet been secured or the goods
located.
