Robbers Sprinkle Pepper Almost Premises to Prevent Use of Dogs in
Running There Down
Burglars entered the Hub store at
Troy some time last night and stole a
large quantity of clothing, including
several pairs of shoes, some mackinaws, socks, coats, and four suitcases,
according to information phoned in to
the sheriff's office from that place this
morning.
After completing their work, the
burglars sprinkled pepper about the
building, on the windows and about the
doors, presumably to prevent the use
of dogs in trailing them. One suitcase
was found at the scene packed with
clothing, but no other evidence was
noted by the investigators who sent, in
the report.
Deputy Sheriff John Hall was dispatched to the scene this morning to
make a complete investigation. Sheriff
Campbell immediately notified the police and officers in nearby towns to be
on the alert for suspicious characters.
Word was sent to Sheriff Campbell
today from Colfax that a drug store at
Rosalia was also robbed last night.
