A couple of stores were broken into
at Piedmont last Monday night. They
sent to Poplar Bluff for blood hounds
and the parties were trailedin anorth-
west curse from there six miles to
Black River and the hounds freed one
the officers thought was an honest
man, and they refused to arrest him
for the present but put guards around
his house until they could investigate
the parties awhile and get proper
authorities from Centerville to search
the houses in that vicinity. The cor
respondent did not learn for certain
the stores that were broken into, but
from the description of the two places
shows it was McSpadden & Blaine's
and Weyland & Sons stores, and it is
hoped they may trap the burglars and
give them the benefit of all laws in
such cases, so we can get shut of so
much rascality in u country.
