Wilken Home Burglarized in East Seventh Street
The residence of W A Wilken at 503 East Seventh street was burglarized last night with a neatly executed entry through a screen door. Two five dollar bills and a small purse were taken from Miss Carrie Wilken, while a coat and vest left nearby were disturbed but not stolen. Sheriff Duval and Marshal Cain investigated, bloodhounds unlikely to help due to the trail being obscured. M Giffen of Burlington, a traveling salesman, is visiting his brother J A Giffen while here.
