SAN BERNARDINO, June "a
strange burglary has been reported to
the officers from Needles.
C. F. Aycock was found by his wife
on returning home from an evening
call bound and gagged in his bed and
the home had been thoroughly ran
sacked. He has no remembrance of
the burglars. He knows that he had
lain down for a rest and probably fell
asleep. 1t is the theory that the thieves
entered while he slept and knocked
him insensible, then went through the
house.
However, they only secured two
watches and small amount of money
for their trouble. 1t is believed to have
been the work of tramps, as the home
is but short way from a hobo camp,
where considerable number of that
class are continually camped.
