The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1874-07-31

y
morning, Dir. J. M. Roach, who occu-
pies apartments adjacent, was aroused
by noise in the storo lately occupied
by Mr.. William McGuinnis, as also
the barking of dog. He inmedi.
ately got up, seized his gun, and, as
soon as possible, entered the store,
und, on looking around, discovered
that lnrge desk, containing money
aud valuable papers. which usually
stood upon the counter, Ito which it
was attached by screwa,) had disap-
peared. aud that the front door was
open. he hurriedly made an e1ami-
nation of the premises and the sur
roundings. but could neither see nor
hear anything OF the depredators.
About o'clock, as Mr.. R. Brown was
on bis way to his place of business, he
discovered the desk in the weeds on
the lot on the Southeast corner OF
Richardson and Riohland streets, and,
scattered around it. quantity of
papers, nickeis and fractional cur
rency. Upon investigation, it was
found that the thieves, in their hurry,
had neglected to secure about s1OO in
change bills and SIPS in nickels. The
snpposition is that they secured about
$500 in silver, SO in gold and Sl5O in
nickels. All the notes, papers. etc.,
were recovered. 1t is supposed that
tho same parties Effected an entrance
into the blacksmith and wagon
shop of Mr.. G. W. Wright, at an ear
lier hour. by cutting hole in the win
dow-frame and undoing the latch. Tue
object. apparently. WAS only to secure
implements with which to force doors
elsewhere, as iron and tools which had
been taken from tho shop we're found
on the premises of Mr.. McGuinnis and
also in front of Messrs. Copeland &
Bearden's store, one square above. An
entrance was not effected into Messrs.
q. & B.'' establishment, although the
marks Of implements were distinguish
able at different pllces about the front
door. US also piece of broken rasp.
These thieving jobs we're evidently
done by unskillful hands. This is the
fourth time that burglars have visited
Messrs. Copeland s. Bearden, and it is
their expressed belief, that if the
thing is not stopped, somebody will
get hurt.
Jessie Hendrix, alias Enos Hen
dirk, native OF Richland County,
has been arrested in Kershnw, on q
charge of assaulting man, named
Robert Peal. He is also charged with
having committed murder in Geor-
gia. year ago-a reward for his ap-
prehension having been offered by the
Governor of that State. Too many
wives Was the trouble with the pri.
soner. He confessed the Georgia mur-
der to one OF them. and she after war.ls
beooming jealous, reported it to the
officials.
Prof. LyBrsnd states that he has re-
ceived letters from number OF actors
and theatrical managers. with reference
to the occupation OF Parker's Hall,
during the coming fall and winter.
The prospect is that amusement-l t-lovers
will have truly lively time. As the
new Opera House and City Hall will
soon be moving towards rapid compile
tion. the facilities for Sightseeing will
be greatly increased.
