Thieves at Work Again.

During the past ten days petty
thieves have been busy in Clifton, al d
while they have not secured very
much money or goods, they have sue
ceeded in destroying property and
otherwise creating great deal of
uneasiness among the Clifton people.
The first place visited was the Clifton
meat and cold storage building. En-
trance was made by breaking one of
the large plate glass windows. After
opening the drawers of the desk they
tried the safe. 1t was real intelli-
gent effort to crack a safe, as they
knocked off the hinge ornaments and
also disfgured the combination and
handle of the door. There was no
money in the safe, but it will cost
more than 800 to repair the damage.
On one night last week entrance
was made into the Geo. Hall resi-
dence. The robbers secuI ed 800 in
cash and some clothing. On Tuesday
evening of this week they entered the
candy store on East side and stole So
in cash and some candy and gum. AT
ter finishing their work in the candy
store. they tried to enter the Farrer
tailor shop, but failed. An attempt
was made to cut the lock out, but the
knife hust have been dull. 1t is also
possible that they were scared away
by someone passing.

A preventative of the United
States government arrived in Clifton
last week TO investigate the unlawful
chopping of wood on government
grounds. He found that there was a
large amount of wood in Clifton that
had no government stamp on it and in
places where he found any amount of
wood he tied it up for settlement. 1t
seems that d great many of the wood
choppers have failed to pay Uncle
Sam the small sum of twenty-five
cents per cord. In the future people
who chop wood can do so only with
the permission of the forest rangers
and those who buy wood should see
that the government stamp is on it.
All parties, from the chopper to the
consumer, are subject to fine wher
using unstamped wood. No fines have
been imposed this time and no private
families were bothered.

The Clifton gun club shoot last
Sunday was one of the most interest
ing that has taken place since the
organization of the club. The follow
ing scores were made: Harvey 8,
Kane 4, Chesser 8, Andrews 10, VIM.
Grant IA, Bates y, Lancaster Is, Van
Dorm 3, Deck 10, Cotey Is, Pascoe II,
Dunn IA, Atherton ,, Sims II. One
of the causes for the low scores was
due to the changing of the traps.
Heretofore the shooting was straight
away, while now numerous angles are
given. The boys should invite Shan
non hill to return match. 1t will be
remembered that the Shannon team
won by nine points.
