"ELITE" HAUL..
The Elito Styles, which is on the other sido of the main en- trance, was similarly entered, the burglars climbing over the top of the door, which was unprotected by any wire extension.
A cash register laft unlocked, yielded a find of over $125. In- effectual altempts were also dir- ected on two safes in the shop, one of which displayed evidence of a sustained effort. -
It was fortunate that in the case of this second safe, which is in a private office on the mezzanine floor, the burglara were not able to progress beyond removing two bronze plaques over the lock Jewellery belonging to the Mann. ger's wife, and reputed to bo worth many thousands of dollara, had been left there an offering a reasonable degree of safety.
An electric light which the rob- bera neglected to turn off, and
several burnt boxfuls of matchen near the safe, testined to the par- ticular care expended by the in- truders in their enterprise.
