DALLAS, TEX, Aug. last night
during the absence OF Mr. and Mrs
William M. Robinson, who had gone out
for walk, their home was entered by a
burglar or burglars and several articles
of more or less value stolen, including
diamond ring and $40 in money. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson returned from
their walk they found the rooms all
topsy-turvy and articles scattered about
the door in every direction. The thief,
or thieves, evidently operated in a
great hurry, as they not left only articles
of wearing apparel and other thugs
scattered about the floor, but money
also. About $40 of church fund In Mr..
Robinson's keeping was in the house at
the time of the invasion, but the thieves
only got away with $50 of 1t, leaving the
remainder behind in their haste, probably
dropping it as they ran. There has been
no arrest as yet, but the supposition is
that the person or persons who committed
the robbery were well acquainted with
the premises,
