139 - I, Dec. 1:2/3 - John Hayes' coal office on the coal pier was entered
by burglars Nov. 29 and the door of the safe blown off, but nothing of
value was found. The money had been taken home by the clerk. The burglars
then entered Farmer and Walton's coal office and found only $1.10 for their
trouble. By this time, they were evidently hungry so they decided to break
into Wheeler and Russell's dining hall, where they feasted on pies, cakes,
and chickens. They also took 150 dinner tickets for disabled soldiers.
The tickets had been sent there by the soldiers' aid commission. No clue
was found. It is thought that the prowlers left on an early train for the
South. (10)
