CLEVELAND (O.), November 26th.-At
Wooster. Ohio, two young girls, Hattie
Sang and Minnie Snyder, were arrested on
the charge of burglary. Last week two
boys, named Shaffer and Eakin, were SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for burglary.
The property they stole has since been ex
hibited in the window of the store of David
Nice, the man from whom it was stolen.
Miss Sang and Miss Snyder were admirers
of Shaffer and Eakin. On Saturday they
went to Nice's store, broke the plate glass
window with hatchet, and took the stolen
goods away. On their arrest the girls con-
fessed, giving as the only motive for the
crime that they wanted to do something
devilish."
