apparently by someone who . wns
familiar with the stock In tho store
and nt homo In thu place. Much nn
Immense amount of loot was taken
that tho pollco can hiydly concelvo
of Its having been removed without
the use of an uxpress wagon.
The store wns closed at midnight
after the big holiday rush on Christ
mas ovo.nud nt that time everything
Is said to have been Intact. Tho roar
portion of tho store faces a vacant
lot, nnd It Is believed that tho burg
lars used this to hide their opera
tions. Thuy Jimmied u roar window
and then plundered tho store ut their
leisure. Despite the noise, which
must have been inado by falling of
glaas and tho removal of this quanti
ty of goods, nobody has been found
