On Monday afternoon q burglary
was committed about four miles
east of Florence, at what is known
as the SCUM Grove" near the San
Antonio school house. Two
brothers named Bangle were en-
ployed there chopping wood. On
returning to the house towards
night, on Monday, they discovered
that q gold watch which had been
left in the house was not to be
found. Further search revealed
the l0es Of two packages OF money,
$265 In all. The money was all In
gold coin, except five dollars, and
had been left in the pockets Of
pantaloons hanging up In the
house. Although the house stands
within q few feet of the railroad,
along which tramps frequently
pass, no danger was apprehended,
as the men were scarcely out of
view Of the house. The offices
have the matter In hand, and are
trying to ferret out the thief.
