Bold, bad burglars visited Sumner
last Monday night.
They entered three different places
of business by prising open the front
doors, as follows:
At X T. Buchanan's the money
drawer was prised from it's fasten-
ings. but it contained no money.
The thieves then helped themselves
to q lot OF bananas and left in
quest OF other booty.
Null & Hayes drug store was en-
TERED and the two money drawers
prised of, but they were empty.
Nothing was missed from either the
store or the post-office, the latter
being kept in Null & Kaye's place of
business.
At Lewis Lisle's saloon several
cigars, a few TASKS OF whiskey, a few
bottles of beer and $500 in money
were secured.
The next morning one or two
empty beer bottles were found near
the section house, where, it is sup
posed. the thieves had thrown them
after drinking the contents.
Two strange negroes who were put
of Of train at Sumner, on either
or Sunday night are suspect
ed Of the burglaries, but as the
amount Of booty obtained is so
small,no effort will likely be made to
the nocturnal providers.
