A .22 calibre Colt’s repeating rifle, valued at $12, was stolen from the window of M.W. Hughes’ store last Thursday evening at about 9:45 o’clock just after he had closed and gone home. The theft had been carefully arranged, no doubt, as had it not been accomplished so quickly he would certainly have been seen, as the store of H. Maiman & Son was still open and H. Maiman and V.D. Kimball, who were standing in the front of the store engaged in conversation, heard the crash of the glass and immediately stepped out to see what it was, but no one was in sight. The window was broke, the rifle pulled out through the apparture and the thief then leaped over the fence into Mrs. Harrison’s yard and made his escape. The ground being soft on account of the recent rains, the footprints were plainly seen the next morning, but as yet no clue to the thief has been secured.
