Some of the newspaper boys are strong on encouraging a fellow when he gets lined up in politics. Here's a sample from two of the old wheel-hors-se: Tom Thompson says: "Go ahead, old man!

Sunday night, sometin after midnight, some malicious sneak thief threw a brick through the plate glass window near the south entrance of P. M. Anderson's book store. A jagged hole was made in the heavy glass and through this the robber reached in and stole four revolvers collectively, valued at $45.00. A $15.00 gun close by was not molested as well as razors and pocket knives.

No clue to the person who committed the act has been found altnough the A. H. T. A. has offered $25.00 reward.

Also a gm being almost impossible to identify will make the capture diffi-cilt. Nearly four years ago a burglar entered by a rear window and stole several guns from the front show window of Mr. Anderson's store and although the culprit was located, he had disposed of the weapons and nothing could be proved against him. Then a'jout a year and a half ago, a Mexican robber entered the store in broad day light while the clerks were busy in the rear of the store, and seizing a case of watches, went out the front way. The theft was discbvered almost immediately but no trace of the watches was ever found.

The plate glass window in the last case was badly wretched but is fully insured. The deed was evidently planned for Saturday night, as a brick of the same quality as the one used Sunday night was found, wrapped in a paper by Mr. Anderson Sunday morning, when he opened the store. It was lying on the step near the window as if the culprit had intended to use it but was frightened Mr. Anderson merely supposed it to be a gag for some one to stumLle over and thought nothing more of it.

It seems almost increditable that such a thing could happen so close to che depot and on a well lighted street but no one could be found who heard the crash or had noticed the broken window. L.
