Prince Hohenlohe is right; at a period when the
so-caed Socialist NJ Hasenchever is elected Deputy

done in the way of combination with the new law,

Two stores were broken into
last Wednesday night. The
Wooden Mills house, northeast
corner of the square, was en-
tered, by boring panel of the
front door. After entering a
stool or chair was placed near
the opening and cloth spread O.
yer it to prevent the attention
of outsiders who might be a
bout, from being attracted. A
lamp was lighted and a desk in
the counting room bored open,
in what was evidently a search
for money. Finding none, they
appropriated a shirt, undershirt,
pair of drawers, pants and shoes,
and box of mustard.
At Bagley's they entered the
same way, unscrewed the cash
drawer from the counter, and
being still unable to enter it
bored off the lock and secured
about forty cents. They took a
few cigars-nothing else missed.
The next morning an ill-fa-
vored stranger was arrested,
and furnished a clue to two
others who were followed, over
taken on the Huntsville road a
few miles from town and
seached, and there not be-
ing sufficient proof to justify
the holding of them in custody,
they were all released. At Nc
IDavid's mill the same men were
again arrested and taken to
Huntsville, for the burglary
here, and again released.
1t is reported that on the same
night, Bates store OIL the Ath-
ems road, eight miles from Fay
etteville, was bored into, but the
borers secured nothing, a few
shots causing them to hurriedly
leave.
