ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.-An at
tempt was made during Wednesday
night to burglarize the store of Mr..
Aaron Dreyfus, corner of Crescent
Place and Mississippi street. Tho
wOuld-be thieves stole an anger from
Quimby's brickyard and bored sew
eral holes in one of the side doors of
Mr.. Dreyfus's establishment, their in
tenti0n being to remove the lock and
thus effect an entrance. Having oc-
casion to get up and administer med
icine to a sick child, Mr.. Dreyfus dis
covered the scou ndrels at their work
aud frightened them off. A gentle
man employed at the bayou ferry
passed the corner on his way to mar
ket, about a O'Clock Thursday morn
ing, and saw three cOlOred men stand
ing with their backs towards the door
they were seeking to force open. This
position was undoubtedly assumed to
screen their operations from view. A
box was found on the banquette near
the door, which had evidently. been
used as II seat by the scamp handling
the anger. Suspicion rests upon three
colored men, two of them quite
young, who came here from down the
bayou few days since, and worked
at the brickyard couple of days.
They left their job Wednesday eve
ming and after sitting up until late
hour went under the large sycamore
tree near the ferry landing for the
avowed purpose of spending the bal
ance of the night. The auger was
found in the river near the bank, at a
point opposite the store, the water
having fallen and exposed the handle
to view. The circumstantial evidence
against the suspected parties is very
strong, aud we understand they art
S till hanging about town, but for some
unexplained reason Mr.. Dreyfns de
clines to make an affidavit agains
them. The authorities should take
the matter in hand before the fellows
make a more successful descent upol
some other citizens property.
