STORE BURGLARIZED.

Thief Enters Rear Window of Forsythe Store and Steals Overcoat, Etc: Sometime Thursday night a thief broke out one of the panes of glass in a rear window of the B. F. Forsythe store and entered and stole an overcoat, a pair of shoes and a pair of work gloves. The gloves were dropped near the window on the thief making his exit and were found. The nightwatch says that he makes the rounds of the back alleys every hour, and the theft must have followed right after he had made one of his rounds. Mr. Forsythe says he can’t understand why anyone would want to take the chances on burglarizing his store when he is selling goods so cheap that it’s cheaper to buy than to steal.
