meeting.
Robbers entered the homes of Mrs.
e. s. Cave of east Promenade and
e. d. Graham. corner of East Love
and Coal streets. early Saturday
morning. Only four or five dol
lars was obtained at both places
combined.
Mrs. Joe Moore who boards at
Mrs. Caves home, was awakened at
about 1 o'clock by someone prowling
about the room, She saw somebody
strike a match, but vas unable to
describe him, before he was fright
ened away. About thirty cents was
taken.
At the home of Mr.. Graham, be
tween three and tour dollars were
stolen. Entrance was made through
a window and the window frames
showed dirty, greasy marks where
the intruder crawled through.
These robbers worked very much
like those who operated in Mexico
a year or two ago, when ten or a
dozen homes were visited during
the course of a week.
Though the police officers have
no clue to the robberies, 1t is theil
opinion the work was done by
home talent.
Reports are that entrance was
tried at other homes, but the rum
ors could not be verified.
Money seems to have been the OBJ
ject Of the robbere. Jewelry is sait
to have been in easy reach at botf
places, but 1t was not molested.
Mrs. Graham heard the thief EN-
ter her room and, when he returned
to the hall with her pocketbook, sh'
leaped from the bed and ran foi
assistance. The man became fright
ened and departed. Mrs. Graham
was alone in the house and display
ed great presence OF mind.
