STOLEN WATCH-It was believed by many
who were familiar with his movements, that
the man, James R. Smith, who broke into
Maj. Shumates house, was a regular profess
ienal whose field of operations was along
the line Of the G. s.. O. Railway. He would
be in Staunton for weeks, with no visible
means of support, and then suddenly disap-
pear and return after short time. The cumu-
iative evidence seems to confirm this opinion.
On Friday last, A. l.. Sibert of Gordonville
came to Stanton in search of a watch, which
he had reason to believe had been stolen by
Smith. He found the watch in the possession
of r. j. Shelton, who was holding it for
Smith, and at once identified it. Smith &C
knowledged that the watch was the property
of Sibert and it was returned to him. In
the meantime the thief had been sentenced tc
six years in the penitentiary on another charge
and Mr.. Sibert's satisfaction fer the trouble
and expense of recovering his property will
be deferred.
