BURGLARS.

= Last Monday night Lafayette
was visited by band Of burglars,
probably the same that has been
working our sister towns. They
| made light haul here, however
realizing about twelve dollars for
their risk. They were strictly after
cash as nine Of the stores entered
report nothing missing in goods
or stock. Their method was very
simple; they merely took a crow
bar, pried open the front door and
walked in. Their attention was
particularly given to cash drawers,
and number of our merchants
found those articles badly wrecked
when they came to open their
stores. The burglars were very
considerate, they never failed to
carefully close the doors when they
left.
While the robbers were making
an entrance to Cunningham S store,
the noise awoke Mr.. Ed. Higgin-
botham who went to his door and
seeing some men breaking in, he
fired twice and the robbers return
ed the fire and made off. Mr.. Hig-
ginbotham states that as near as he
could Judge there were three men
in the party, and all white.
The following stores were en-
tered:
F. Demanade, loss 80 cents; ;
Cunningham, loss $500; Tanner
Bros, loss $3.50 and a broken
cash register; Lafayette Drug
store, nothing; Alex. Delahous-
saye, loss 50 cts; Lafayette Cloth
ing House, nothing, and d. V.
Gardebled's drug store, nothing.
An attempt was also made to enter
the Post Office, but the door resist
ed so well that no entrance was ef-
fected.
There is no positive clue to the
burglars, but three suspicious white
men were seen about town previous
to the robberies. The police are
diligently working on the case, and
it is to be hoped that they may sue
ceed in running down the robbers.
-Mesdames Ulysse Poinboeuf and
Ludovic Billeaud, Misses Pauline
and B. Landry, and Mr.. c, Martin
returned from Leesburg after
spending pleasant month there.
