tered the Presbyte parsonage.
They were after preacher Ravens
pocket book, but they didn't get it.

sleeper and good walker, and when
the thieves came into the lower story
of his house through a window on the
back porch, he heard them and arose.
They heard him and fearing detection
or fearing least he use gun, which
it is not known whether he has one
or fearing his prayers or fearing
something. they left the premises
without taking anything with them.
It was about two o'clock on Thurs
day morning when they invaded Mr.
Ravens premises. People who live
in the vicinity of Harley's place,
speak of having heard persons walk
about that part of the town at l
o'clock that morning. So then it is
probable that the time between the
operation at the parsonage and the
Harley homo was not far apart. II
