Night officer John A. Betts was making an inspecjon trip when he noticed the east door of the station It had been jimmed with a open. large iron bar. Officer Betts entered the station and caught a poorly dressed man about forty years of age. He said he was stealing because he was hungry but refused to give his name. He had taken four dollars from the cash box and had his blouse completely filled with candy and cigarettes. He was taken to the city jail in the rear of Marshalls office and locked up. Betts desired to makp his rounds again in case a pal should be at work in another part of the bust ness district. He walked from Shulers garage in the rear of the two blocks on the west side of Main Street As he came around the bank corner a couple of young people who were waiting for the southbound bus told him they had just heard breaking glass which seemed to be at the Marshalls office. Betts hurried there at once and found his prisoner had escaped. The man had crawled through a small ventilator in the ceiling of the jail room, walked along the rafters and broken a whole through the W.

The loot consisted of 30 niens suits, 1G boys suits and six or more overcoats. , Night officer John A. Betts made his rounds in the rear of the store at 12 oclock. Within the hour he was making an inspection trip on the opposite side of the street and as he came from behind the Shuler Garage he heard some one running. It was evidently a lookout placed near the Skaggs Store. Officer Betts went over that way hut no one was in sight. He noticed however that the rear screen door at Ierssons was open and remembered that it had been closed at midnight. He investigated and found the wooden door had been jimmed and bfoken, permitting the burglars to enter. He went in the store and made a search but found no one hidden. He then cled manager Reid Perrsson. It was then shortly after one p. m. The footprints could be plainly seen showing the burglars had passed from the store and through the north end of the John Persson lot. They had broken loose a panel of fence to get to their automobiles waiting on first east street. Members of the Persson family who were sleeping upstairs had noticed two cars about midnight that stopped about midway down the block on first east street close the sidewalk. It is very likely they were the ones used to carry away the merchandise.
