Tracks were found in the back yard of the Bobbitt home where the thieves, it appeared to bo two, sat down, took off their shoes and hose, then came back later and put on their shoes. They left a pair of dirty sicks laying on the ground.

The tracks lead out on a path which leads to the city dam and then disappeared in the grass nearby. The Bobbitt house was not locked and they walked in without any trouble but they have gone into homes which have bean locked. It appears to make little difference if the thief desires to enter the house whether it is locked or not. Tracks Found Officers, who went to the scene of the robberies on Saturday morning, found the tracks of the barefoot, who is believed did the looting. These tracks resemble those found around the three homes reported robbed on Saturday night.

They are busy today chasing down every clue and hope to make some arrest in the matter within the next day or two. Although it is not definitely known just when the Bobbitt home was entered it is known that it was between 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock. Bobbitt had Ken to Stillwater during the evening and returned home about 11 o'clock. The first home looted this week was that of Rev. Charles W.

Although the club has not worked as hard this week in preparation for the game as they did last week they are expecting to return home victor- ous, Before the game last week, which proved one of the best games offered hero this season, had put in some hard workouts and weie determined to turn in a win after suffering three straight defeats, "Jiggs" Mooce will doubtless take the mound for the Perry club and if he is as rig.ht this week as he was last, then team should have a fairly easy time of it. Ripk-y held the Perry club to 1 to 1 tic until the seventh inning last Sunday when the Millers started to bunting and were successful in getting to Courtrig.ht for some hits which gave them the five oxtra runs.
