Late Saturday night or early Sunday morning burglars entered the dry goods store of Hoberg, Root «fe Co., drilled open the safe and took about $200 in money. From a shed in the rear of the building next door they gained an entrance to the second floor, and going down stairs opened the iron door leading to the alley. The burglary was discovered by Mr. Hoberg about nine o'clock Sunday morning, and th© police were notified at once. A portion of the tools were found in the store on Monday, but as yet there is no clue to the robbers. It is believed the thieves belong to a gang which is organized in one of the .cities and works under th© direction of a recognized brad. They are expert cracksmen, and probably belong to the crowd which has recently been working the country towns around here recently, and who robbed Hers' bazar some time ago.
