Burglary and Robbery.

Friday night the little grocery store
djoi ming Mayors garden was burglar
ed and goods amounting in value to
bout : $40 were carried Off. Po-
&c officer Torbert was notified of the
matter by the proprietor Of the store,
who offered $40 for the apprehension OF
he goods and $40 more for the thief who
had 80 adroitly unlocked his door. Yes
erday morning the officer succeeded in
nding a portion of the goods hidden
away in sack under the coal chute in
East Dallas. The owner identified them
as his goods. The find embraced 20
pounds of chewing tobacco; is packages
OF smo king tobacco and dozen boxes
of sardin mes. There is no question but
hat the parties who have been commit
ting thess numerous burglaries have
ONE general depot or fence house
where they deliver their stolen goods
and draw cash on the same. If the
oiioe could ferret out this
place they would no doubt
make Wholesale haul Of
of stolen goods and possibly of thieves
glarieH have occurred OF late and If pos
9 IDLE the guilty parties should be
brought to justice. 1t does not sound
well to people abroad or give them a
very good opinion of Dallas to hear of
burglary after burglary and the bold
depredatlons of foot-pads. 1t mi hit be
well for the citizens committee to re-
new its organization again for these
depredations have been going on for
Some time and range from the theft of
chickens up to the invasion Of private
residences.
