Kansas City, Mo., June 28—The boiler in Gaunt’s woolen inilis at Booneville, Mo., erday Printing, and his daughter, who keeps house for him, was in this city shopping when the rovbery occurred. It would appear that the house had been systematically watched and the movements of the family noted. During the morning and on previous occasions two strange men had been no- Uced lottering about in the Vicinity of the house, and the fact had become the subject of neighbs hood gossip, Dut no one took the trouble to notity the police of the fact. ‘Two unsuccessful attempts have recently been made to rob the house, it ts gaid,.butif 60 no report was- made by the family Pol eadquarters. The entrance was madé yesterday in broad daylight with a jimmy through @ back window, and the house was thoroughly Tansacked from top to bottom. When the daugh- ter returned home she did not discover the loss for some time, the robbers having accomplished thelr work and escaped. The identity of these men, if they are caught, can easily be established by several persons in the nelghborhood who have frequently seen them. It was a thoroughly pro- fessional job, and the parties who gave the rob- bers information as to the movements of the fam- ily can be found, it is thought. The bonds have been minutely described and Major Dye has notl- fled the principal banks and brokers throughout the country of the robbery. This robbery has awakened a general expres- sion of sympathy among our citizens for the loser, anda hope that the thieves may be caught and the money recovered. The Commissioners are sat- isfled that the chief of police will do all he can, and put his best expert officers on the track of em, THE RACE THIS EVENING. ‘The race in working boats this evening between Fisher and Kearney and Baker and Ryan is ex- clting considerable interest, and a very lively test 1s expected.
