LAURENS ROBBERIES
HAVE BEEN SOLVED
Man Who Broke Into Several Laurens
Stores n Few Weeks Ago Has Been
Landed Behind the Bars.

ELLIS Sampson, colored, has been
landed behind the bars at Spartan
burg charged with many burglaries,
including number committed here
several weeks ago. 1t will be remem-
bered that during the week the earn
ival was here the stores of Hudgens
Il Co.. Clardy e Wilson, The Laurens
Mill Store and Blakeley's Beef Mar
ket were entered and goods in var-
GUS amounts stolen. Clues gotten
soon after by the police lead them to
believe that the burglar was from
Spartanburg and that his name was
Sampson. Word was sent up there to
that effect and a watch was kept for
him. In the meantime number of
robberies had occurred in Spartan
burg so the officers got hot on the
trail with the result that a few days
ago Ellis Sampson was captured af-
ter trying to sell chickens which he
had received for some stolen goods.
Chief Bagwell was notified that the
man was in the tolls at Spartanburg
so he went up Monday to look into
the matter and to see if they had the
man lie wanted. After close ques-
ally admitted his guilt giving com
plete account of his actions on the
night in question.
The negro first entered the cotton
mill store and from there went to
Blakeley's market. Being frighten-
ed away from there by the approach
of one of the policemen, he next went
to Clardy G. Wilson's. Not being able
to get any cash, he took out number
OF suits of clothes and pairs of shoes
and then went to Hudgens store. Not
finding any cash in the drawer there,
he took off few hams. Putting all
the things into a sack he caught the
train early the next morning for
Spartanburg. However, some people
saw him get on and later hearing of
the robberies reported the fact to the
police and with this clue to work on
the negro was finally landed When
his house was searched in Spartan
burg numbers of stolen articles were
found and in one corner of the room
a trap box was discovered filled with
fine suits.
After the Spartanburg authorities
get through with him he will be
brought to Laurens and made to stand
trial for the robberies here

flames. Most of the furniture was
saved from both houses AS they
were some distance from the water
main, being in that part of the city
called THE Stumps," the fire depart
ment was unable to do any effective
work
Conflicting stories are told az to
the cause of the fire Some of the
negroes declare that it caught acct
dcntally While others declare that
kerosne was found ON the side of the
first building and on the ground lust
below the flames. The police are
now looking into the matter and if
any clues are found which would lead
them to believe that the fires were
set Intentionally arrests will follow
pretty soon None of the owners or
occupants are suspected.
