Another Robbery Reported.
Robberies of local business houses
Sunday night and the taking of suit
cases from the choir special train,
were not tue vuiy ueeua of Lul iCut
perpetrated, for houses were entered
and robbed, and in two instances at
least, of foodstuff. The home of Mrs.
McWhlrter on Adams avenue was en
tered and the Ice chest "frisked" of
all the good things to eat. This leads
to the conclusion that this robherv
and others like it, were done by ho
boes who were after food. Two dozen
eggs, a whole cake and other food
stuffs were removed from the Mc
Whlrter ice box, and Mr. and Mrs.
W. W. Berry also lost similar articles
from their kitchen.
No traces have been found of the
burglars who entered the Mormon
choir special train last night and stole
several suit cases. The police are
still working on the case, however,
and it Is hoped that they will soon
find the thieves. ' . .
