Lust Wednesday night a negro boy
named Larry Dick broke into the
front window of Mr.. l.. l.. Caldwelrs
store by smashing the plate glass.
He did not get into the body OF the
store. The door opening into the
window from the store being closed,
he made no effort to go further than
the display window. Rasides, he
seemed to have found there just
what he wanted, \ banjo and an ac-
.cordeou, as these are the only arti.
cles missed. On Friday the thief
was captured and made a full con-
fession. He seemed to feel no re-
yret for having committed the
crime. The only matter that con-
cerned him was the fact that he
will have to stay in Jail until court
cony.nes in March. He implOred
Judge Gaskins to send him 10 the
gang, naming five years as the time
he wished to remain. Wheeler's
brigade has no terrors for him. he
