SECURES 8135 IN LOOT BY 1HS DARING DEED During Short Period in Which Drue Stores Close on Sunday, Robber I Tics Orf Back Window in Full View of Alta Street and Gains En trance) Rifles Cash Register and Safe, Securing $135 Indication That He Performed Deed Leisure ly lint Few Clews. A bold daylight burglary exceeding' anything of the kind ever perpetrat ed in this city, occurred in the full l:cht of day Sunday afternoon be tween the hours of 2 o'clock and 4 30. A cash register and a safe were both burglarized netting the robber $135 for his pains. The Tallman Drug company's store at the corner of Main and Alta streets In the very heart of the business dis trict, was the scene of the burglar's activity. Between the hours mentioned some one pried off one of the iron door -protecting a window in the rear of the -store. The window was then pried i open and an entrance effected. After gaining admittance to ths bulld'ng the burglar or burglars ap-- parently hunted up the cash reglster and though In plain sight of the scores' who were passing the store at tbs time, deliberately relieved that ma chine of all Its contents. . He then , Just as cooly walked into the office V and finding the door of the safe un locked, opened it, took out the money till and rifled It. That the fellow was In no hurry Is Indicated by the fact that he took the til out of the safe and placed It behind the rear petition where he could work at his leisure and not bo seen from the street, the safe being la full view. He carefully separated the checks from the currency and taking r,niy the money, departed as he came,, by the rear window. Sheriff Taylor and the other offi cers were notified but the burglar was careful not to leave so much as a foot H'nt for a clue. The only thing lis di l leave was a large chisel used tn ei.Vtting an entrance to the building The burglar was fortunate In hav ing selected the Tallman store for hit effort since It Is not the custom te turn the combination on the safe dur ing the day time on Sunday. This 's not done for the reason that very se'.dom Is there very much money la the 'cfe on that day. It Is oonibls that the burglar was familiar with the store custom In this regard. To add to the boldness of the deJ, the felkw worked in oK,ft plain v.ew ii the rear of thj Hent etian billiard patlor which was 'it!ed with m:n at the time and he could easily have been observed from Alta street by anyone passing at the time he was . prying off the Iron door.
