Thieves Take Shoes, Cash from Henry-Miller Shoe Company, Jan. 30, 1924

Henry-Miller Shoe Company’s Store Robbed--$29.75 in Cash Stolen

A thief or thieves entered the Henry-Miller Shoe Company’s store some time between 10 o’clock last Saturday night and Monday morning, and stole from the cash register $29.75 and probably some shoes and other goods. All of Saturday’s sales and collections were put in the safe Saturday night between 9 and 10 o’clock with the exception of the amount above stated stolen. So far no clue has been ascertained as to who did the stealing. There being no street lights gives the theft a better opportunity.
