BURGLARS RAID MERCHANTS'
CASH DRAWERS
Break Into Four Perry Stores And Steal
Cash.
Enterprising burglars made
wholesate raids on the cash draw
ers of Perry merchants after break
ing in through the rear windows
of fonr stores here early Thursday
morning.
Discovery of the burglary was
made when the stores opened for
business Thursday morning. In
ventory of losses showed that
money had boen taken from the
cash drawers at each of the four
places of business, but no merchan
dise was stolen as far as could be
ascertaiued.
The victims were King & Boler,
who missed about four dollars in
change from their cash drawers,
W. B. Sims who lost a small
amount, J. W. Blood worth who
lost about ten dollars and T. D.
Mason about live dollars in small
change. That larger amounts were
not taken was due to the fact that
all except small change from the
previous day sales had been taken
from the cash drawers.
Entrance to the stores in each case
was effected by prizing loose the
shutters and bars with an old
buggy axle which was found at
the rear of one of the stores.
Officers are working on clews,
with some prospects of learning
the identity of the burglars.
