Burglary and Robbery.

A daring burglary and robbery was
perpetrated on Saturday evening last
at the residence of James Harris on
Broadway. The party who did the
crime is thought to be we'll acquaint-
ed with the premises, and the place
where the money and other valuables
we're kept. Mr. and Mrs Harris at
tended the dramatic entertainment in
Loves hall that evening, and the
absence of the occupants was seized
as the opportunity to enter and per-
petrate the robbery. 1t was the GUS
tom OF Mrs Harris to leave what
money was in the. house in tin cash
box left standing on a bureau, which
was also the repository for valuable
papers, such as insurance policies,
stock certificates, also lady's gold
watch. Fortunately she took the
precaution this time to take with her
the cash that was usually kept therein
and also another and more valuable
watch. The burglar entered through
window on the south side of the
house, and made off with the box
with whatever it contained. Upon
returning from the show Mr. and Mrs
Harris we're unaware that the pre-
misses had been burglarized until an
hour or so after arriving home. When
about to retire, it was noticed that
the box was missing. The sheriff s
office was notified and sheriff Gregory
and deputy Corners were promptly
on hand to investigate. The traces of
the burglar, about the window we're
plainly observable, but no other
traces were left. The window was
left unfastened, so that the intruder
had merely to raise the sash to get
in, closing it when he made his
exit. There was nothing else disturb
ed about the house. The burglar
seems to have made straight to the
cash repository, and Immediately
left without searching for anything
else. The papers in the stolen box,
while valuable to the rightful owner,
are of no use whatever to any one else.
They can be duplicated, although
this may involve some expense. In
stead of being of any use to the
robber, they are in the nature of a
white elephant on his hands. The
lady's watch was the only article
stolen that had any money value, and
it would be dangerous experiment
to attempt to convert this into cash.
