THIS BURGLAR
WAS VERSATILE
Selects the Pure Food Store and Uses
A Patent Cheese-Cutter as If He
Kntfw How—Lard, Cigars and
Fruit Cake His .Loot.
A versatile genius was the burglar
who entered the Pure Food Grocery
Store, on Cotton uvenue. sonic time
during Tuesday night.
In the first place, of. all the retail
groceries on Cotton avenue, lie select-,
cd that which stressed pure foods,
showing that he was a discriminating
burglar. In the second place, he knew
how to operate a patent cheese-cutter
as well as the clerks in the store. This
cutter cuts off :i quarter, half, three-
quarters or any number of fractions
of cheese as desired. Tpe figures on
the scale were left the night before
for tlie last purchase at two pounds.
The burglar only wanted a pound and
had adjusted the cutter to that quan
tity.
He used a candle that ho might not
and' he
of'"nip Van I brought the candle with him. There
was a portrayal pwere candles In the store, but they
In th's role ho j were In an out of the way place and
stage | were not disturbed.
He wanted a fruit cake for Christ
mas, and he carried off a flve-poundcr.
He left all the hams and the other nice
things, but some lard and the cake and
the cheese and rome cigars seemed '.o
satisfy him. He critically examined
the cigars In the case and took five
hundred of the best. In tho caso was
a tin box used for tickets, and this the
burglar took and carried it dbwn In
the cellar and by the aid of his candle
he broke it open to find that there
was no money In It.
The cash register had been fixed for
him. It was left unlocked and there
was about two dollars of change left
in it. which the burglar thought best
to take with him. Total loss, Mr. C
W. Rico thinks, will be about th'rty
dollars. -
The burglar went into the store by
the back way. He prized out the bars
of Iron that fastened in the window
sill and raised the window. It was
easy, looking at it now that It has
happened. Aft.r getting what he
wanted he had only to open the back
door and go. There was nothing In
the way of hi* going.
When Mr Rlceopened the store yes
terday morning he saw that the drawer
of the cash register was out. Then
he knew some one had called during
the night. He took a survey of the
store and counted up ‘the missing
things. Then he found the candle and
the manner of entrance. Just how the
man went about the store with a light
ed candle without being seen by some
one passing on the avenuo Is beyond
Mr. Rice's thinking.
The manner of entrance and other
things lead one to believe that if the
,police could only lay hands on the
burglar who Went Into the store of M.
ITloch, a short distance up the street,
a few nights ago. they would find tho
man who went into the Pure Food
Store. But you can't always tell.
