SUCCESSFUL BURGLIRY,
A Christinna Farmer Robbed Of
$1,000 In U. n. fs0nd~, 885 In
Money. a Gold Watch and Various

A ChriStinna Farmer Robbed Of
$1,000 tn U. n. ROnds, 885 In
Money. a SiOId Watch and Various
Other Articles.
From Every Nv ming aud Comm reiai Of Thur4d,y.
Between ~ o'clock last night and day.
break this morning the residence of David
Graves, near Brandywine Springs, in Chris
tiana hundred, was entered by burglars
and robbed of Sll, 900 in United States
bonds, $95. 80 in money, valuable gold
watch and numerous other articles of
small value.
The thieves entered the dwelling through
q cellar window and ransacled every room
in the house, including the attic. The
bonds and money were in a bed chamber
on the second floor, and the watch was in
the room where Mr.. Graves slept. All
the family were in the house at the time,
but 80 quietly did the thieves conduct
themselves that no one was awakened, and
the robbery was not discovered until this
morning, when the disordered appearance
of the furniture, &C., aroused suspicion
that some one had been in the house and a
search revealed the facts given above.
Mr.. Graves is of the opinion that the
burglars must have used some drug to keep
himself and family asleep, otherwise
he thinks it impossible for them to have
entered the house and departed without
being heard. If they did use any drug
for the purpose named, it must have been
a mild one, as this morning none of the
family experienced any disagreeable feel
ings such as usually follow the admins
tration of chloroform and other powerful
narcotics.
No clue as to who the burglars are has
yet been discovered, but it is apparent that
whoever they are, they are experienced
hands. The bonds are of no. value to
anyone but the lawful owner.

A gentleman of this city assures US that
there is probably not the slightest truth
in the rumor that DR.. Cowgirl, of Florida
is seeking or would accept An appointment
in Dakota Territory. He says DIR. Cow
gill was highly respectable physician in
Dover with large practice till some thir.
teen years ago when he was attacked by
pulmonary disease and removed to Florida
for his health. There he engaged in
agriculture and now has one of the finest
orange groves in the State and is not
likely to leave his home and business.
Our informant, who is q gentleman OF
of high standing in this community, says
DR.. Cowgirl, never sought political posi-
ton in Florida and that he is q man Of ex.
cellent character who has many friends in
this State who respect and honor him.
We think it is due that this should be
stated as we recently said that we knew Of
no one here at all acquainted with him.
