Especial to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, n. c., May 5.-Burglars visited
East Durham again on Saturday night,
and visited four different places. At the
home of DR.. w. ID. Young they secured
a pair OF pants, 81 or s. i'll money and a
gold watch. At Thomas Parkers resi-
dence a pair of pants was fished out of
a window and $3.50 secured. The rob-
bers got pair of pants at d. w. Rogers
home and $1.47 in moneq, and at Edgar
Wards a pair of pants, but no money.
At the last named place they left the
Pants on the outside of the house. Every
few nights one or more residences in
Durham or suburbs are burglarized, and
in almost every instance the methods
employed are the same. The favorite
way of these night providers is to use a
POLE and hook. 1t is a noticeable fact
that in nine out of every ten of the rob-
berries that have occurred in this vicinity
there has been light burning in the
looms from which the robbers have car
ried on their fishing operation The iden-
tity of the offenders is as much a mys-
terry as at first, there not being a single
clue to tell who they are.
The revival services, which were in
several days, closed Sunday night. Thir-
ty-four persons were converted during
the meetings; twenty-six joined that
church, twenty-five on profession of faith
and four by transfer, and eighteen were
baptized.
The Durham baseball team left Sun
day afternoon for Charlotte, to play three
games this week. They were in fine trim

On Wednesday afternoon at Trinity

The proceeds will be for the benefit of
the Watts Hospital.
