JENNETTE STORE ENTERED BY THIEVES The store belonging to Jennette Brothers on Water si reet was enter ed by thieves afer closing hours on Saturday, and a small sum of money and a few stamps taken from the cash drawer. One of the members of the firm on returning to the store Monday morn ing, found the screen door at the back of the store unlatched, and the drawers open. The theft appeared to be the work of a child, as a man's hand would have been too large to push thru the wire net of the screen door, to find the latch. An attempt was made probably by 1 tie same person or persons to enter the store of W. H. Weatherly Co. and also one belonging to the Newborn Produce Company, the same night. The back door of Weatberly's place of business was found ajar, Monday morning, tbo the heavy bar with which it was fastened prevented the entrance of the thieves. A gang of small boys were making an effort to break in the store back of V. J Woodley's whole sale hou.se, when Mr. Woodley appeared on the scene, and they ran away before they could be identified.
