BUSINESS HOUSES STILLING TIRE SHOP IS VISITED TWICE Thieves Enter Agatha Shop But Aire Frightened Away Sjr ; » Neighbor < For the second time in two ^WeSTcs the John Stilling tire shop on Elm street, was visited by robbers last Thursday night. When the robbery occurred the first time it was believed that the thieves hid in the building until the station was locked up for the evening, but since then it has been learned that they had keys to the building and entered both1 tines through the front door. Although no definite estimate as to the loss of the second robbery could be given, Mr. Stilling believes that it would amount to considerable more than the first, because of the fact that tubes and flashlights were a big part of the loot, while the first time the thieves confined their efforts to the oil pump and cash register. Mr. Stilling said Friday that he planned to install an entire new system of locks. Thieves Visit Green Street The Agatha shop was also broken into Thursday night and about a dollar in change taken as the only loot obtained by the robbers who narrowly escaped being caught. Access to the shop was obtained through a rear window, which was pried .open, after which the window was closed and the screen replaced, the robbers making their exit through the door which they unlocked from the inside. The stock of fancy work was overhauled and boxes qt stockings looked as if they had been hurriedly thrown back when the thieves had been frightened and- decided to leave the merchandise. They evidently did not kwow that Mrs. Anna Howard lived in her tailor shop next door and as they were climbing to gain entrance through a window into her shop she became awakened and spread the alarm. It is thought the work was done by young men or boys who left in an automobile parked on Elm street.
