Two men are a little poorer as
a result of a slick burglar who
got in his work last Saturday
night. At the home of Walter
Sullivan the burglar entered
through a window and relieved
Mr.. Sullivan's pants pockets OF
$135 and a gold watch. He also
took a bracelet belonging to Mr..
Sullivan's daughter.
The home of Mrs. N. J. Nc
Cannon was also entered that
same night and from Mac Nc
Cammon's pockets six dollars
were taken, while from Mrs.
McCammon's purse fourteen cents
were extracted.
There seems to be no clue to
the burglar, but the officers are

have any visible means OF sup
port, yet seem to live well.
