Show JfRGLAR SKIPS EMPTY HANDED Late on Tuesday night, September i2nd, the store of H. M. Childs & Son in Gunnison was broken into and an attempt made to rob the safe. Who the perpetrator was may never je known, since he made good his 'scape evidently from imagination that he was discovered. It happened however, that no one besides himself knew of it until the next morning when Mr. Childs on going to the store found the front door wide ppeir. It appears ingress was obtained by' breaking a small opening in the dopr pane sufficiently so as to reacli -the arm through and unfasten the juight lock. "'-h:: That the intruder meant business vas evidenced by a pair of pinchers, a hammer, a brace and steel btJ:!he had left in his hurried flight. Boring bout an eighth of an inch into the door of the safe, close to the lock, was all he had accomplished. The tools left by the burglar proved upon m-estigation m-estigation ' to have been purloined rom Emil Rosenvall's shop. Seemingly the stock of goods was unmolested, and although some small change lay in an open till no money wras taken. City Marshal Baxter and Deputy Sheri Harmon have been unsuccessful unsuccess-ful in tracing the burglar, except that a clue to his identity as the party par-ty alleged to have been guilty of burglary bur-glary a little over a week ago at Marysvale is established, answering, as it proves, the description of a suspicious sus-picious character who had made some small purchase at Child's store only a day or so before and was a loiterer in the store just a short time before it closed on the night of the occurence. |
