Thieves were active in the business
lint rit t of Ciincord . Wednesday night,
tnd though they entered two. business
'muses they secured but little in mon-
y and plunder. 1 V : , 1 .i ;
The store of J.. W. Collet, on Bar-
Irlck street, and Ponnd-Moser' Shoe
tore. on Union street were visited by
he thieves, and Mr. Collet was, the
'leuvleist loser. . The infj-uders entered
lis Btore from tha rear 1 door; by
'mocking off a board which". was nail-
d over the door. When the board was
removed they unfastened the catch on
he spring and opened the door. The
rear of , the building la used by E. F.
Correll as a paint nhop.' Nothing was
Usturbed there, but the thieves scal-
d , the partition lietween the paint
diop and Mr. Collet'sstore, nd ee-
ured some cash and aliout -H worth
if cigarettes. That the robbery was
he work of boys was indicated by. the
snmll hole made In the top of the par
tition between the two stores, through
which entrance was made to Mr. Cob-
let's store. The rear door was open
when Mr.vCollet reached ', the,; store
this morning. 1 ' , -
Entrance to the rtioe store was also
made through the rear loor. . The Iron
grating over the. door was cut, the
Jiang smashed' and the safety on the
ock , removed. Entrance was then
easy. About was taken from
the store. . Owners of the store think
the thieves weje scared off when i the
hell in the cash register rang when
one drawer was opened. The other
drawers were not molested. Several
dozen pairs of sox were piled up on
the counter, and other pairs were lying
about on the chow cases, but it is be
lieved the thieves were afraid to car
ry them off, as none were missed when
a check wag made. ? ,
The police so far have no clues to
