BunoLABY.—Our citizens were startled
on Saturday morning to bear that J. R.
Munshaw'e jewelry store had been bur-
glarized and a large quantity of valuable
goods parried off. Mr. Munehaw bae
been accustomed to put the most valuable
part of his stook in a eafe plane for the
night, but omitted doing so on 'Friday
night. Chief Vannorman wee on the
street until after one o'olook, when,
thinking be might be of some use at the
dam, he went down there. Between that
time and four o'clock the robbery was
committed. Eotranas was gained by
prying the door open with an iron bar.
When once inside the work was compara-
tively easy. Maboheswere even lit inside
the show oases, and the most valuable
of the goods there sainted. Fortunately
the resale did not notice some diamond
rings in the window. Mr. Munehaw can-
not exactly estimate his lose, but it will
be in the neighborhood of seven hundred
dollars, perhaps more. About fifteen
gold watches' and seventy-five or eighty
valuable rings ares
mi sing p . Steps were
i madnat 1 taken to internept the bur -
glare

glare if possible, by communicating with
eorrounding towns, but so far no clue has

sympathy of the townspeople in his loss,

gotten booty.
