Some excitement was occasioned on Court
street on Sunday night about 10 O'Clock by
the discovery of an intruder in the residence
of Mr. George NJ. Parke. The shadow of a
man, holding light, was reflected on a win
dow curtain in second story room, which
was observed by Mrs. Parke as she returned
from a visit to a neighbor. She supposed it
was one of her sons up in his room, but when
she went to his room he was not there. Sus-
picon of a thief was aroused and commu
nicated to others in the house. Mr.. Parke
and one of his sons arrived home about this
time. 1t was believed the intruder had gone
to the cellar The door was guarded to secure
the prisoner and Deputy Sheriff Wilderson
sent for, so that he could be taken to Jail.
When he arrived search was begun, but the
man had made good his escape. The weather
was pleasant and the doors were left open,
and the intruder stole in softly and unnoticed
by those in the house.
