Last Saturday night,
intent upon plunder and witfe oitber
less experience or brains than Cl.
ordinary thief or burglar, broke
into the lumber office of R. B.
Spencer and stole a Williama
type-writer, and made an on-
successful attempt to break open
the safe. The thief gained admis-
sion by breaking a bole in Urn
window glass right at the plaon
where the catch that fastens the
window down on the inside In
placed. Through this opening il
appears he inserted a hand, loused*
‘.tie window, raised it Mid entered:
tried hie poorly equipped lot oC
tools on the safe, and failing to get
into it. took the type-writer, which
was about the only thing of (&<!&•*-
value in sight that he Could carr£
off, and even that will be very
easy to trace. There is no clue as
to who the thief was.
