Moran's grocery store was robbed laat Sunday night (between midnight and dawn. The robber got (218 In cash from the safe and hts methoda Indicated not only a cool hand, but one thoroughly familiar with the store. Entrance was made at the aide door of the itore. This door being rather Insecure In Its fastenings waa easy for the thief. It had a bar across the Inside, and to make the fastening better a long handled shovel was slipped In be tween the door and the bar. Stand ing on a pile of boxes by the door, tho thief reached through the tran som. lifted the bar up with the shovel Itself and opened the door. It was Mr. Moran’s habit to lock the safe but not to turn the combi nation on entirely. Turning It back notch by notch would unlock It. That was what the thief did. The lock to the cash drawer was either fitted with key or picked. The cash In It nmounted to about *218; there were checks making a total of (500, but the thief did not disturb these or anything In the safe except the cash. A few dol'ars In the cash regBter was also untouched. Tbe thief made hia escape through a window In the end of the store right by the safe. The door where he came In was fastened again exnctly as he found It; the eafe-waa closed and the, combination turned on. though not quite as much as Mr. Moran had left It. The lights lef* burning In the store were turned out. roliceman Maehburn said they were burning at midnight when he passed the store, so It Is presumed the rob bery occurred after midnight. These circumstances all Indicate that the thief was thoroughly famtlar with the store by some means. The police are working on the case but no clue 1 offers as yet.—Quitman Free Press.
