describe him.

bicycle and fed, knowing that he had
made entirely toe much noise to go
ahead and do any work at that place.
Reports were made to the police
station Wednesday morning and Chief
Sanders took the trail without any
ceremony. One Of the first things he
did was to give the story of the rob-

pers. He instructed his men to keep
a close look out for strange negroes IN
the neighborhood Of the burglaries.

tar he usually follows breathlessly in

confusing. If masked player holds
