Show Store Burglarized. A robbery has actually been committed com-mitted of recent date, within this city. The store of A. Buchmlllcr on First North street was entered through a narrow aperture on tho east side of the building. Somo small boys did the Job, it is stated, and their plunder, naturally, consisted of candy and linger rings. Great wealth was not considered by the desperadoes or the tray from which tho rings were taken would have been emptied Instead In-stead of merely "touched" for a few. The police and detectives arc cxhaut-Ing cxhaut-Ing every clue to recover the stolen pelf but as yet arc not able to locate anything. It is not thought that the candy will bo recovered. Tho rings may bo Judiciously concealed from the searching eyes of the detectives detec-tives but it is not to be supposed that that will baffle the defenders of the law. One great detective who works on a small newspaper on Center street, called tho Journal, states as his opinion that the south trade winds, striking tho lettering of the D. W. Roberts block, rebounded across the street and entered the transom thereby there-by scattering the goods and leaving the impression that a robbery had been committed. Some consider this great man's version to be correct for no other detective on the force has had such wide experience In drafts of air disarranging things and whiskers. It Is to be hoped that tho blood hounds may be successful in tracking the robbers as they have been hot on the trail. |
