FORGETS HIS HAIR TO GET PRISONER.

Detective, Half Shorn, Arrests Man Suspected of Store Robbery.

With the hair on one side of his head neatly trimmed and holding a prisoner by the arm, Detective Andrew Crummy marched into police headquarters shortly before noon today. His coming resulted from the burglary of the hardware store of Larson & Anderson, 1909 Central avenue, early today.

Early today Ole Cederburg, waiting for a car near Nineteenth and Central avenue, saw the door of the store open and a well-dressed stranger inside with a satchel in his hand. The men passed the time of day and Cederburg asked him what he was doing. The man said he was merely picking up a few things he liked. Cederburg thought it a funny proceeding, but boarded his car and went down town. After he got off he decided to tell the police.

Clerks at the store discovered in the meantime that four dozen knives, three dozen razors and two dozen watch charms had been stolen by the suave stranger.

At 11 o'clock this morning Detective Crummy was getting his hair cut in a barber shop at 112 Washington avenue N. when a stranger entered and told Ebert he had an excellent razor he would sell for 15 cents. Knowing Crummy, Ebert got the man to display several other razors. When the exhibition was finished, Ebert pulled the towel from Crummy's neck and the officer stepped from the chair, placed the visitor under arrest. With his hair half cut Crummy marched his prisoner to the Central station.
