Wednesday evening was a banner one
for thieves and burglaries. Five houses
were raided in all, hree in addition
to the robbery of Gilleland's and Yost's
residences as published in the Register
Yesterday morning it was found three
other houses had been entered. The
first was the residence of Mrs. Carrie
Huffman, on Rose Hill. The thieves
entered by a window and secured a
few articles of but little value. A gold
watch was left, which was in plain
sight. The next residence was that of
Professor ]. w. Liller. music teacher
OF the public schools, whose home is
on Nineteenth street. The thieves Sc
cured about eight or ten dollars worth
of clothing, and scattered quite lot
of goods around the house. The next
was the home of r. B. Dolby, living
along the Ohio valley railroad. This
was water haul for the thieves, as
they only secured nine cents, the
amount in Mr.. Dolby's trousers. The
people are finding much fault with the
police, but they are not to be censured
tooseyerely, when one takes into cons1d-
Grafton the amount of territory they
have to cover and it is worthy of the
force to say Marshal Johnston and the
police are using every effort available
to discover these thieves.

a very delicate operation performed, is
