A daring burglary was committed here
on Monday night, sth inst. The wash
house OF Mrs. 5. j. Cover, commonly used
as q summer kitchen, was entered by bur
glars, and after partaking of refreshments
they repaired 10 the rear porch OF the
store-room OF Mrs. 5. j.. Cover & Son,
and raising a window entered the rear
room. In crawling through the window
they came in contact with some brooms
which made considerable noise; but moth
ing daunted they proceeded TO the main
store-room where they commenced opera
tions by making diligent search after mon
ey and other ~valuables, securing n shot
bag, which was slowed away in a cracker
barrel for safe keeping, containing $50 to
S35, a revolver, watch, etc. also a bunch
of keys, which will be of little value TO
the burglars but put Mrs. Cover & son to
some inconvenience. They then
made their exit by unlocking a
like way proceeded 10 the store of b.
S. Flick, and by removing a pane OF glass
and a nail that fastened the sash, were 0
inside. and, after sampiing a cheese, tried
the money till, but found only a few nick
els, and lett everything else undisturbed.
II is supposed they were frightened away
from here. II is quite clear that money is
what they were after. There is not the
least clue as TO who the perpetrators were.
The only thing to attract any attention
outside the burglary last week was 4 wom-
an, and baby about eighteen months cid,
and another woman about twenty-three
years old. They claimed they were out Of
employment, and begged their way from
door 10 door ss they gended their way TO-
ward our State capital.
