De,iled Grabs at JONES & BRADLEy's
The rain OF Sunday and Monday mas
saved the tomato crop, and there is every
indication of the farmers having very
largest crop. The unusual good prices
realized BY the growers last season caused
the farmers to almost double the acreage
tIis season. and with the favorable
weather for the crop prices may be very
low except in cases where the growers
have contracted with the Gamers. Quite
large number OF the farmers did not con-
tract, prefering to take the chances OF
getting better prices from the buyers.
1t is likely that they will be disappointed

Some sneak thief entered the par.
lor window of B. R. Leaman's resi-
dence between II o'clock Sunday
night and daylight Monday morn
ing. He pushed sofa to one side
from in front of the double door
way, went to bureau dresser and
disturbing nothing else took one

into the room into which he had
gained entrance, searched the
drawer taking very valuable gold
watch and chain with the baby's
finger rings strung on the chain,
another watch belonging to Mr..
Leaman, a pocket book containing
about four dollars and some
brooches, and then retreating the
way he had entered made good his
escape. The family slept during
the robbery and did not discover
their loss until in the morning.
Mrs. Leaman's name is engraved
on the inside case of her watch.
Bert says if thu" Claude Duval" who
purloined the articles will return
that watch and baby rings he can
