Besscmer, May 30-(Special.) 1.-The noe
turnal visits to Bessemer stores. resi-
depces and dwellings are becoming mo-
notonous and it would be pleasing to
many to have one night pass without
burglary Last night the store of the
Eagle Loan company was entered for the
second time within short period. The
thief secured about 20 watches and 20
rings. The loss is heavy. Entrance was
effected by means of an iron bar with
which the rear grating was loosened.
1t will be remembered that about six
weeks ago burglars went into the store
and removed $1,000 worth of Jewelry.
Within week the negro had been cap
turf ed and the jewelry returned. At pres
emit the negro is waiting the action of
the grand jury. Not deferred by the
fate of his forerunner last nights thief
chose the same day of the week and
took the same articles.
In addition to the numerous entries
made into white residences the negroes
have also suffered. Many walls of woe
have come into the police headquarters
from negroes who had lost clothing,
money or jewelry. In connection with
the robberies a unique fact has come to
the notice Of the officers. Negroes rarely
steal anything but clothing from one
another, and their favorite article of APP
parel seems to be shoes. Nothing has
BEEN unearthed In regard to the Lanier
robbery OF Saturday morning nor the
thefts earlier in the week.
