Captain William +. Brimer and Sons

lit, who are oyster shippers of Box Iron,
learned last week that their barrels of
oysters placed on the platform daily at
Scarboroughs Switch Were being cut
open and Quantities of oysters taken
from each barrel About thirty barrels
had been robbed in broad davlIght and
with oysters bringing from 81 to - per
barrel in the city, it was serious thing
for the shippers to have so many stolen
from them Last Saturday the ship
pers employed Hiram Littleton To watch
for the depredators. A wagon loaded
with oysters was driven up to the plat
form as usual, and after the load had
been placed in the house the driver
drove off as though he had no SupiciOns,
but the Waterman on the look out III
the thicket nearby soon saw Edward
Davis enter the house. He waited
"A while to give Davis an opportunity 10
cut open the barrel, if that was his mis-
sion, and then ran into the house and
caught him cred handed" opening oys
tiers as though he was the proprietor of
the whole lot Some of the shippers
had joined Littleton, the Waterman, and
they nabbed Davis and held him until
Deputy Sheriff Hearthway could be
communicated with. He secured war
rant for the mans arrest and served it
in IL short while. bringing his prisoner
to Snow Hill. He pied guilty before
Squire Rownds and was committed to
await the action of the Grand Jury,
The next party arrested was Annie
Reynolds, who kept house for a corps
of mill hands at Scarborough Switch,
and at whose house were found large
quantities of fresh oyster shells identi.

from their barrels. Although she pro-
tested her innocence, she was likewise

While before the Justice she gave the
names of the parties who took the oys-

Reynolds. her husband, George Clark,
Charles Givans and William West. Ed
