Another Rur.lary.

BetNeen one and two o'clock yester-
day morning, the private Waterman EN-
ployed by the merchants If the city to
guard the stores along Lemon street, dis
covered burglars in the store of Mr.. c.
y. Devereux. When lie threw the light
OF his lantern into the store the burglars
became alarmed, and hastily made their
exit before the Waterman could get
around TO the back Of the store. Two
men ran off in the direction of THE
NEWS Office. and rs the third was MAX
ing his way across the vacant lot of Mr.
Martin Griffin, the waschman FASTENED
his flight by firing at him twice with his
revolver which. SO far rs he knows, did
not affect the burglar further than to
quicken his pace.
The burglars entered the store by
breaking through the glass transom over
the back door and drawing the bar that
was used to secure the doors, which gave
them an easy entrance. Mr.. +. K. Far
rar, who sleeps over the store, says that
he was awakened by his dog barking,
when he got up and looked out Of the
window, 3ui saw no one. Soon after
laying down again he heard the glass
break, but thinking that some object had
accidentally fallen, paid no attention to
it. In five minutes afterwards he heard
the pistol shots of the Waterman, so the
burglars could no, have remained in the
store more than II few minutes. But
they made COOL use of their time, for
/ they secured several bolts Of silk. satin
and sateens, some clothing and a few
pairs Of shoes, estimated by Mr.. Deye-
reux to he worth something over $50.
/ The gang of burglars now operating
in Pala,ka are a bold, bad set, and every
prccaution should be- taken to detect
them and effect their capture and con.
viction.
