JEWELRY STORE
San Francisco, April 11.—Homo
time during the night In the best pa­
trolled district of the city, thieves en­
tered the Jewelry store of T. Lundit
at "44 Market street and robbed it of
diamonds, watches and other jewel­
ry amounting to $50,000. Entrance
was made by cutting a hole through
a partition which separates the store
and a candy shop. This was done
without disturbing the lights burn­
ing In both stores and a hole was
made large enough for the thieves to
crawl through. Once inside the safe
was bored Into and a ( barge of nitro­
glycerine gave the robbers access to
the vault, which they cleaned up.
The robbery was discovered by Po­
liceman McDonald and a watchman
in the neighborhood.
Two months ago an attempt was
made to enter the same store.

McMinnville, Or., April 9.— Sen­

his position regarding Statement No.

I believe the question of subscribing

should be left to tho conscience of
the candidate.
I do not feel like
