THIEVES ROB THE ELECTRIC SHOP TUESDAY NIGHT Burglars, whether local talent or professional Is unknown, last night relieved the electrical supply store of Roy 8. Bush, next to the post office, ot about forty dollars' worth of choice Christmas stock. So far as baa today been ascertained, the pit ferlng was confined to the taking ot electric flashlights, which might In dicate that the act was the result of youthful covetousness. This Is strengthened by the fact that Mr. Bush has recently suffered loss from petty thefts of flashlights taken from his show window by local small boys. The thieves entered the building last night by tearing out a rear window. The most of the stock taken was on the shelves, but several flashlights were taken from the window facing 8lxth street. All the flashlights were finished In nickel or bronze and of "Qulckllght" brand, a new flashlight on the local market, and should be easily recognized. Ilawley on the Job at Washington Congressman W.
