PLEASANT PLAINS.
A MEAN THIEF.
Even Stole Ring from Babes Fin
ger in Crib.

One of the meanest thieves on rec
ord in this section is the one that
entered the apartments of j. Leuck-
art, in Seguine avenue, some time
late Saturday night or early yester-
day and besides taking a quantity of
clothing, went to the crib where their
one-year-old child was sleeping and
removed a small ring from the child's
finger. The thief also went next door
to the apartments of Fred List, who
resides in the same house, which is
a double one, and ransacked the
place and stole some clothing belong
ing to Mr.. List, SIS in money and a
bunch of keys and also SO belonging
to his sister, Miss Annie List. The
thief, in each case, entered the apart
ments by prying open a rear window.
The ring has since been recovered
as it was found in the lower hall of
the house, where it had been drop
ped, probably, in the thief's hasty
departure. No one in the house
knew of the robbery until yesterday
morning, when both Mr.. List and Mr..
Leuckart went downstairs and found
their windows open.
The case was reported to the pol
ice, who r working on the case and
