attorney that he was willing to go before

he had pursued any other course he would
have to wait until spring before he could

BUNGLING BURGLARS.
They Visit David D0n's Hardware
Store, But Secure no Booty.

The daring and bold burglar is again in
our midst, and is attempting to ply his
nefarious trade. Some time last night the
hardware store of Mr.. David Don was
entered, and an attempt made to burglar
ize the safe. From all appearances it is
evident that the midnight visitors were
amateurs at the crooked profession, for it
was an extremely buugling piece of work.
An ARGUS reporter visited the place this
morning and learned all that was known
of the affair. An entrance had been
effected through the rear door by
breaking pane OF glass, and
then unbolting it from the inside They
| first attempted to cut the sash with pen
knife, but took the quicker method of
breaking the glass. The safe is small
one, and is situated under the working
desk. 1t bore plain evidence of being
tinkered with. The point of attack was
the upper hing of the door, the top and
lower bolts being knocked off. One cor
ner was also badly scratched, being evil
IDENTIFY struck while endeavoring to hit the
hinge The lock was not molested in the
least. The whole work indicated that
the fellows, whoever they were, did not
understand how to open safe, aud they
had not better try again until they become
more skillful.. Nothing else was touched
in the store, and probably they were
scared away by some passer by. No clew
has been obtained as TO who the persons
| are
