day afternoon. Mrs. Roberts has
not been well lately. She and her

house and the robber slipped in
to the front room and went thru

erts was in Mexico at the time,
Four dollars in money was Sc
cured, but some small change in
another corner of the trunk was
not found. Mr.. Roberts sold
some cattle recently and the rob
Der was after that bunch of
