T. S. Sloan. a piano repairer, who
was doing some work in Lamar
the first of the week was held
up near the band stand on Monday
evening by a tall man and pushed
around behind the band stand wher,
a short pal hit him a severe blow
with billy which badly dazed him.
They proceeded to go through his
pockets and when he resisted
slightly threatened to cut his throat
with a large knife which the short
man carried. They robbed him of
$19 and watch. The description
he gave tailed very closely with
that of the suspicious looking par
ties seen near each of the attempt
ed burglaries lately and carries
out the belief of the Officers that
the work is being done by people
who live here and who are making
a business of it. Strong suspicious
are centering on certain persons
and 1t is believed the Officers will
soon have sufficient evidence to
make case.
