Great Bend - Sometime Friday morning, last, between 12:30 and daylight, burglars entered the store of C. S. Lines and with a horse and dray, likewise stolen from the barn of Elmer Wandall, proceeded to load up with goods from the store. When Mr. Lines went to the store in the morning he found the front door broken in and the rear door unlocked. The interior of the store was practically cleaned out. Suits, trousers, vests, overcoats, hats, neckwear, underwear and, in fact, everything the thieves could lay hands on had been removed. The burglars must have had consummate nerve, as the stolen horse and wagon was evidently backed up to the store and the good piled on. Later in the morning about half of the stolen goods were found in the haymow in Charles Norton’s barn, about one mile west of Susquehanna. Mr. Norton saw a coat dangling from the mow and making an investigation found that about 100 mens suits, overcoats and other articles had been secreted under the hay and proved to be from the Lines Store. It is believed that the robbery was committed by members of the gang camping on Canavan Island, a well known hobo resort in the river near Susquehanna.
