A daring burglary was committed at Krabell’s drug store in Racine, Wisconsin, in the early hours of the morning. The thief made his entrance through a side window, shattering the glass as he dropped down onto the floor. The intruder made a beeline for the store’s showcase, breaking into it with ease. The store’s clerk, who had been roused from sleep by the sound of breaking glass, tried to intervene, but the burglar pointed a pistol at him and ordered him back. The thief then made off with $4O from the store’s till, leaving behind a trail of shattered glass and a shaken night clerk. The burglary was a brazen act, and authorities are still searching for the culprit.
