ROBBED FOR THE SECOND TIME

AND PROBABLY ROBBERY BY SAME PARTIES

The Tills in Weinmann's Meat Market Were Robbed at An Early Hour this Morning

For a second time within the last three months, L. C. Weinmann's meat market has been entered and as much cash secured as could be found in the tills. Friday morning's attempt to get money was rather a bold one as it was done after daybreak, judging from various noises that were heard around the store at an early hour. The entrance was made at the back window, the same as the first time. The tills in the counters were probably opened first. The office was then entered and $4.75 was found in the drawer. Papers and accounts were thrown everywhere and Mr. Weinmann found a most disorderly office when he opened up the shop. In his hurry the burglar had dropped 18 pennies on the floor. This was evidently what awakened Mrs. Weinmann, but she gave no alarm, thinking that some of the clerks had come to the shop early. The total had come to the shop early. The total was taken before.

Mr. Weinmann at once notified Chief of Police Kelsey. The window was closed after the burglar and from all particulars it looks as though the same person had done the robbing on both occasions.
