kinds that will flock here from dif
ferent cities, such as porch climbers,
safe blowers and general, allround
thieven. Be sure to leave gas lights
burning in your places of business
Look out for porch climbers in the
residence sections. Keep your eye

such caaes to police headquarters,

with the situation. The personnel of
the department is on a higher plan
