Larsh & Hopkins Drug Store Robbed Sunday Night.

Sometime during the early- evening Sunday the Larsh & Hopkins drug store was entered from the rear door and the cash box robbed of $25 or S3O, the precise amount being unknown. The lock was pried off the back door and entrance gained to the store therefrom. So far as known nothing was taken except the money, although quite a number of drawers behind the counters were pulled open. The work was evidently that of local talent who were familiar with the premises. Devere Zea, who is employed in the Barnes bakery, saw a couple of men in the rear of the store at about 8:30 o’clock that evening, the time the robbery is supposed to have taken place, but paid no attention to them and can give no description of the men.
