Tlilcf Cuts Wire Screen nnd Opened Window?stoic Dollar, Fountain Pen and Three Loaves of Bread. From The Daily Item. Jan. 29. Last nii'iit a thief entered tin- W. I M. Vatcs grocery store and robbed it of one dollar from the cash drawer, a fountain pen and three loaves ef bread, making his escape- through the hack door, in which the key had been left on the inside. Today the police had not secured any clues to lead them to suspect any person and no arrests had been made. It is thought thai the thief, war I acquainted with the premises, for one of the rear windows had been un? hitched and it was though this that he entered, having ilrst cut the Wil ? sen -n at the window. It is suppose,! that it was unlatched during the day and it was not latched up again at night, for it pasesd unnoticed, as the window had not been opened since the fall and the coming of cold weath? er. Besides the articles mentioned above nothing else was noticeably missing, there being little stuff left in the store, which has practically sold out its stock preparatory to cloy? ing. The back door was found open by a policeman this morning in making his rounds and the key was on tho ground by the door. THREE FIRES THURSDAY EVEN? ING.

PROTEST ON PAYING LICENSE. Some of People at Curb Market Dis? satisfied by Action of City. There seemed to be considerable dissatisfaction on the curb market Thursday because of the fact that Mr. H. G. MeKagen, city tax and license c Hector, 1 id been there 'luring the lorning to collect licensem from any c mo;;c on the curb itUtrkat WhO were selling meat or vegetables which had been previously purchased by them and which was not home raised pro? duce. Practically all of the men who were selling eatables on the curb market told Mr. MeKagen that thej had rais? ed the stuff that they were selling, and these he told were exempt from license. Mr. J. K. Jennings stated that he had purchaseel cattle and kept them for some time to fatten them before he killed them and Mr, MeKagen endeavored te> collect a li? tt use from him, but he stated that he ! would not pay it. as he thought that the keeping of the cattle was prac? tically the same as raising them and that tie had been informed that those on the curb marke t wouhl not be re eiuir.;d to pay licenses. As there seemed considerable- dis satistaction on the curb market, May? or Jennings was askeel ahout the mat? ter. He stateel that umler the license any producer would not be rceiuired to pay a license in selling their pro I duce in town. The curb market, as J he understood it. was for the pui pose of encemraging farmers io raise staff: I to sell in the city, ami allowing them I to sell Without a license- w ould affeird tin- encouragement which was semght to be offered. However, if anybody outside the* limits of the city made a practice Of purchasing things freun others for the purpe>se of selling them in town, he was subject to the license tax and would have to pay it, wheth er he sedel on the curb market or else where. This was going inte> ce>mpe ti tlon with the city markets ami mer? chants and anyone who did this wouhl have- te> pay the> license, just as the me rchants in the city did. This did not encourage the" production of foodstuffs among the farmers, which waa th. desired aim. He stateel thai it eini not matter whethi r he bought j ? and fattened it or not. this was not I raising it. and the sedier was subject to the license. Mr. MeKagen, when aske.l abend the- matter, stated that he> was very much pleased with he curb market himself. He had morel) sought to do his duty in seeking tho collection of licenses from those who purchased stuff and then sohl it on the curb market or anywhere else on the i-.treets. He had been informed that some of those who we>ro selling on the curb market were making a pi a ? ti'c oi buying cattle to slaughter and selling it <>n the curb market and be> had investigated and found that this I was true of ?>no or two of the dealers. i Houston, Jan 29.?Ward Sny?h-rf cut his wife- to death yesterday, died I from poison today. lb- was a wealthy 1 Pittsburgh i.
