RIES HAND
AT ROBBING HOUSES
Confesses, Police Say, and
Longs for His Old Life of
Honest Toil
HIDES LOOT IN SUITCASES
TIip Hide old job "serving hash' In
a tenderloin rolaurniil looked mighty
good this morning to .loo Sierocensky,
when Iip faced Magistrate Meatnn at Ihe
Tenlh and Mutlnnwood streets stntlnii.
and confessed lie hail taken a vacntion
to try a little Mler in crime.
Sleroeensky was held under $1."0(I
bnll for court on fchnrgc. ot fordble
entry to lob. Six miltrnscs full of
goods wero taken from his room on
Olive street, nnd n number of iinwn
llckela found In his pockpts. Most of
tlie stuff he admitted taking was recov
ered. Jt was worth nbotit $1000.
"I got llrrd waiting in a rrstauraut
for S10 n week," ho lold the police,
"My friends would ilnsh big rolls when
thej camp In to ent. They told inn It
was easy money. 1 thought I'd try H
myself ii while. '
.loo's underworld acquaintances failed
to lell him how to avoid the police,
evidently, for Ills career as a sneak
thief lasted only two weeks, and even In
Hint time ho was arrested on suspicion
hut let go for lack of evldeuee. Tho
four dwellings ho iidniittod robbing were
those of Samuel (looilman, 72- l'arrlsll
street ; Andrew Stoozwzon. SIIO North
Friiuklin street . Kntll Warren. S'JO
North Franklin strppt and Samuel
(liflsinau. SKI North Marshall strppt.
"If I .ever get out of this," walled
Sierocensky. "it's me for Hie hash
house again. Why, even dishwashing
looks good to me now. i

-'J'he diamond business is one of confidence.
Minute differences in color, cut and brilliancy
affect the value of the diamond to such a degree
that few persons can determine its value. It is,
therefore, largely a question of confidence in the
merchant from whom the diamonds arc purchased.
Wc arc fortunate in being able to offer dia
monds for this holiday season at prices based on
our importation costs of last March. Our collec
tion of diamond jewelry is the largest in our
history.

Just as it comes from the Cow
Natural IVfllllr Clean
Its quality does not vary
IS the "cream line" always the same in the milk
you buy? Is the flavor always the same?
Get Walker-Gordon Milk every day and you can
say "Yes" to both questions. The same cows f ur
nish Walker-Gordon Milk every day ; they eat the
same balanced rations of clean grains and sweet
alfalfa hay ; they are always cared for and milked
under the same exceptional conditions of cleanli
ness ; the percentage of cream is kept constant ,
from day to day.
This unchanging quality of Walker-Gordon
Milk, the regularity with which it is delivered, the
knowledge that no milk could be safer for even
children to drink all make its users highly satis
fied. Telephone your first order today.
