Last night W. J. Clark's hardware
store was robbed.
The thieves effected an entrance
through a rear window by prying the
Iron shutters from their hinges. The
Inner window was then forced.
Evidently the thieves were planning
a bit of hold-up work, for firearms
stemed to be all they wanted. They
took six or eight revolvers, three of
them being of the Colt's make. They
elected a few good pocket knives
aim, probably thinking it a good op
portunity to select some Christmas
presents for their friends, without
eqiense. A peculiar feature of the
affair Is that the revolvers were Just
opposite the till. The revolvers were
Hkn, but the money In the till, 316
or 118, was undisturbed.
The crowbar which they used to
pry the Iron shutters from their
amgei, they left as a souvenir of
Ihtlr visit. Possibly they thought to
trade the crowbar for the articles
taken; but Mr. Clark says he is stock
ed up on crowbars, and if he - had
teen consulted he wont not have
"ade the trade. Who Is any a crow
car? It was probably rioioii from
tome nearby establishment.-
