Gems buried in the darkened earth

BURGLARIEs AT HAMPTON

half dOz,n attempts at burglary were
made At Hampton, las. night. The grocery
store Of Charles Hannawather was entered
and robbed Of $l5. An Intellectual effort
was made to get into Black's, and four Other
places. The station house was also entered
but no plunder was secured. We haven't the
slightest doub. but that these preparations
can be traced to Jim Bells Coloua gang
The people Of Hampton may consider them
selves under obligations to Magistrate Sim
release Jim Bell, that he and his gang may
consinae to prey upon honest men.
