Unlocking to Enter and Locking it Upon
LeaTng=--secured Fifty Dollars
In Money

News reaches here Of one Of tie most
peculiar burglaries at Brown that has
ever been clronieled. The circumstances
are such that the affair would be dis
credited If the party whose house was

The burglary was at the home Of

place, and occurred last Wednesday night
at IN hour unknown. Mr.. N-hiteman

his pants at the head OF the bed. The
doors were all locked and the windows
nailed down. When he arose the next
morning his pants were missing. lIc got
another pair, put them on and went out
and notified neighbor about the mys-
terious disappearance of the pants. To-
sether they set out to search for the
missing wearing apparel and finally ran
across them at the wen some distance
from the house.
There was sixty dollars in money in
the pants when he retired that night.
When they were found the money was
missing, the burglar having carried it Of.
There is an unsolved problem as to
how the fellow got into the house, but
they figure it out that he had a key,
with which he unlocked door. then en-
tered, took the pants, went ont and lock-
ed the door behind him. His movements
were so quiet That his presence was not
discovered. although members of the
family besides Mr.. Whiteman, slept in
that room.
