Another Burglary
C. E. Tuthill's Boot and Shoe store was broken open on Wednesday night, and boots and gaiters, were stolen to the amount of $500. The Burglars after breaking into D. I. Pralls shop and getting what tools they deemed necessary to accomplish their purpose, first tried to get into Mr. Tuthill's Store by the back door by boring and cutting, but they found they couldn't come in there, so they transfered their attack to one of the back windows. They shoved up the window, bored through, and took out a section of the blind, sufficient to admit the body, and out of this hole went the booty, probably. They assorted the whole stock of fine work and took the very best in the store. Officers are on track of the soleless thieves.
