lys: Some scoundrels procured ladder r
II Sunday night week last and effected nm
ntrance through the window 10 the second :,
tory of Mr.. John W. Adkins storehouse, /,
With the intention, it is supposed, to steal ,
young gentleman of our town happening
o pass the place during the "small hours
If the night, saw and removed the ladder,
eaving the thieves in the building; very
houghilessly however he failed to give any
alarm of their nefarious proceedings. In
The morning it was discovered that they des-
cended to the grocery room and escaped TO
the street, being unable to effect an entrance
10 the store, proper, on the first hoor. From
fear or some other cause it seems they took
nothing, as no goods have syet been missed
by Mr.. A. 1t is to be regretted that the
young man failed to arouse some persons, as
the thieving scoundrels might have been
caught before being able TO escape.
