10th inst. but they were discovered before
they had time to steal anything. Some two
weeks previous the store had been entered.
and about two dollars in pennies and IA few
items were taken. Mr. Ford having made
known the affair to but few. took such meas.
ures as were sure to foil second attempt.
and was successful.
The boys stated that they had been Undue
ed to enter the store by black man, who,
being too cowardly to do so himself, stood
outside to receive the spoils; but when he
found that they (the boys were caught
made tracks for home. and was there found
in bed when Constable Broadway arrested
him. All three were brought to Elkton
and lodged in Jail.
Mr.. F., thinking it unsafe, after these at.
tempts, to leave his store unprotected. has
made it more secure by putting on additional
fastenings and placing an occupant therein,
at night.
