STORE ROBBED.
Money Taken From Cash
Drawer. No Clue.

On Monday night of this week the
store belonging to Mr.. D. R. Rouzer and
located on E. Main street, this place,
was burglarized.
The thief gained entrance by forcing
the door opening into the warehouse and
also the door between the warehouse and
the store room. Mr.. Rouzer was not
aware of the robbery until going to the
store Tuesday morning, when he discov-
cred both doors standing partly open. On
going to the cash drawer he found that
all the dimes, nickels and pennies which
were left in the till Monday night had
been taken. Money of the above denom-
nations was always left in the drawer
for change next morning, and while not
knowing the exact amount, Mr.. Rouzer
thinks there was likely four or five dol
lars taken. Likely some groceries were
also taken-it being difficult to tell If
packages had been taken from a large
stock of goods.

Young Doe Killed.

Early last week young doe was killed
by dogs on the property of Mr.. Josiah
Willhide near J.antz, this county. Dur
ing the past winter number of deer
have been seen in the mountains-som
thing unusual in this section of the coun-
try. That the doe was killed was dis
covered by Mr.. Willhide when his dog
was seen dragging its hide along the road
leading to his home. From the looks Of
the hide, it would seem as if some one
had taken the carcass, the legs having
been broken off. The fellow who got
the meat is evidently keeping very quiet.
