There was an attempt made to enter
the finishing room in the rear of the
Faulkner mills at II 45 last night,
shortly after the Waterman had made
his rounds, by breaking a panel in
the door, making a noise which the
Waterman heard. and on his arrival
the burglars had left. He now has
his revolver loaded for bears, and will
open fire on any one in close proximity
to the mill during the night. There
is no money or valuables ever kept in
the safe or residence, so that finished
cloth is the only thing to be carried
off. This attempt was on the same
back road as the break in Mr.. Bur-
wells store and was undoubtedly the
same gang.
