MORE RoBBER1Es. The band of thieves who hay
been operating in this city for the past few week
continue their rascally depredations with astonishing
success and freedom from discovery and apprehen
sion Last Friday night the vault on Main street
opposite j. G. Bryants store, in the unfinished bricl
which withstood the fire of last May was entered
forcibly, and 800 pounds of bacon and 200 pounds
-four, belonging to Lazarus Brothers, was stole1
from there. About candlelight, the same evening
while Mrs S. b. Morrison was momentarily absen
from her own room, in the rear of her husband,
store, corner of Montgomery and Commercial sts
some rascal entered and carried off her trunk which
fortunately, contained only few articles O.
clothing, OF small value. We also hear of box o.
tobacco having been taken from another store, q
private dwellings entered and robbed of readily port
able articles It is q pity that the rogues are not
caught Our citizens will be wise in carefully
guarding their stores, business shops and dwellings
hereafter. To have a loaded shot gum or rifle, OF
six shooter handy by the bedside and to Keep all the
doors and windows well secured, may be of benefit
against the thieves.
