Two More BurgIaries.

Saturday night j. A. Smith,
living near Dunlap college, was
robbed of $27. 80 by burglars. He
took home that night $32. so, SIS of
which was in the form of a check.
He left the money in his pockets
and during the night some one
entered his room and took all his
money, leaving the So check. He
has no clue to the perpetrator of
the crime.
Last night the residence of G. W.
Young, near the round bale gin,
was burglariously entered, but
Mrs. Young heard them and they
were frightened away before any
thing was stolen.
There seems to be an organized
gang of these miscreants and the
officers have some good cases to
work on.

picion Of having burglarized the
