Hirlema'i's store was visited by robbers last Thursday night and many things were taken, but just how much is not known. There was about ten dollars in money taken, several cigars, some suits of clothes, shirts, ewelry, etc. The store is quite a dis tance from the house, and no one stays in it all night. The back door was broken open and also another door which led from the wareroom into the storeroom. Why the thieves did not remove a few panes of glass is wondered at, as that would have made less noise, but perhaps the moon shone too bright on that side of the building. It is not known exactly who the guilty party or parties are, but dif ferent ones saw a couple of suspicious characters near there that evening, and if they ever turn up around again, they will, no doubt, be called on to give an account ot themselves.
