Schutz  Store  Robbed

Tuesday  morning  when  the  clerks  arrived
at  Max  Schutz  store  they  found  a pane  of  glass
in  the  rear  door  broken  and  missed  a large
amount  of  cheap  clothing,  mostly  in  boys  suits
which  were  piled  near  the  rear  entrance  of  the
store.  Constable  Rodriguez  was  sent  for  and
found  some  of  the  clothing  in  front  of  John  Bu-
quor  s residence.  At  the  latter  place  was  also
found  a large  knife  which  the  constable  recog-
nized as  having  been  on  the  person  of  a Mexican
arrested  a few  days  previous.  This  gave  the
officer  a clue,  and  all  he  had  to  do  was  to  go
and  get  his  man.  The  officer  found  him  with
quite  a severe  cut  on  one  hand,  and  with  blood
still  upon  it.  The  Mexican  stated  that  he  hurt
his  hand  three  days  ago  and  had  not  washed
since,  but  as  there  was  blood  on  the  broken  glass
it  will  keep  him  pretty  busy  to  make  a jury  be-
lieve his  story.  He  also  had  in  his  possession  a
pair  of  pants  purchased  from  Aaron  Schutz  on
Monday,  which  he  claimed  had  been  given  to
him  by  his  partner.  This  was  another  pointer
for  Rodriguez,  and  he  soon  secured  the  partner
in  crime.  As  Mr.  Schutz  had  offered  $100  re-
ward for  the  arrest  and  conviction  of  the  thieves,
it  looks  as  though  Rodriguez  is  in  luck.
