oomber of thefts in Terrell and Ran

When arrested Hill had in his pos
session four sets of harness, lap robe,
nair of breeches, two pairs of shoes
and two tin buckets. Two sets of the
harness we're stolen in Brentwood the
NIGHT before from DR.. T. A. Chappell
and Mr.. Council of Americas. The
other two sets were stolen
from Messrs. J. w. Fillingame and
Frank Lyle of near Springvale, in
Randolph county. The lap robe also
belonged to Mr.. Filliugame, who was
in the city yesterday and identified
his property.
Hill has also probably been burglariz>
