Barglars Dig Into Mutloy Muiloy’ $Grocery Store On Broad Street, ie A burglar and a jimmy. gouged a ‘hole a foot and a half square last night in the east wall of Charles BE. Mulloy’s grocery store On Broad street. After the man had removed the bricks and mortar, which were about twenty inches thick in all and very soft so as to admit of easy picking, he sawed off}a scantling that was in the way'on the inside, and ‘then apparently left without going into the store. He had broken into the rear frame addition tc Charles E. Wild's barber-shop and worked from there The saw used was one owned by Mr. we and kept in the addition. The appearance of the hole: and the fact that so far as has-yet been ascertained nothing in the stora was disturbed, indicate that the burglar was interrupted at his work before he could go through the building. Wm. Craig’s saloon, adjoining the barber shop, was open till midnight, and O. J. Naffziger’s meat market, a little further down the -street, opens between four and five o'clock -in the morning. Thus the operations of the thief were probably interrupted. It is believed the man who did the digging had a confederate, although the tracks of but one man. showed in the frost on the porch back of the barbershop. On the right foot he wore u boot or shoe, and the left one was bare. When Craig’s saloon was burglarized u. short.time since the eperguers right foot was bare.
