Jacob Fox Loses $70—Bnrgiar in Town.

Last night Jacob Fox, the poultry buyer who lives on Osage street, locked his upstairs bod room securely and retired with $70 in his pocket book, under his pillow. This morning the door was unlocked and the $70 gone. His watch and seven or eight dollars which had been left in his pants were not taken. His theory is that some one was in the room when he went to bed, as the door was fastened with anf old-fashioned catch, and could only have been unlocked from the inside.
