BECOMING VERY FREQUENT

Selma, June 20.-(special) )-Robberies of houses whose occupants are spending the night away, or who have left the city for the summer are becoming all too fre- quent in Selma. The latest victims were MT. and Mrs. c. L. Waller on Parkman street, the house being entered last night. This moring the old family servant who goes to the house every day to look after affairs, opened the house and found evl- dent circumstances to show of the pres ence during last night of some unwelcome visitor. The drawers of the several bu- reaus in the house had been opened and their contents spread on the floors of the rooms. The lamp which had been left up stairs was found downstairs and there was candle sperm and matches that had been struck to be found every where.
 Other depredations had been committed and the coverings of beds ruthlessly soil- ed. A window on the front porth had been forced open and an entrence gained into the house in this manner. Just what is missing cannot be told as MT. and Mrs Waller and all the members of the
 
 the summer. It is not thought anything of great value was taken.

  will come about two weeks later. Both bodies of the National Guard will pitch their tents at Elkdale park and both will be of great benefit to Selma.
 At a meeting of the staff officers with Major Atkins Monday night 1t was de- cided that Selma had the best camping ground in the state and that if the mer- chants and others of the city would put up amount that would justify the | cf1l tt1fn ff fI,A 4. ment would be held here. One of the com mttees started out yesterday afternoon and secured about s160, the others are at work and it is believed there will be no | trouble in reasng about $500 with which to bring the squadron to Selma.
