Burglars Create Much Excitement
in Dolores.
Two burglaries committed in Do
ores Saturday night gave rise to the
report the Italians, who escaped from
the La Plata county Jail had commit
ted the crimes. The fact the Italians
claimed to have money hidden in that
vicinity gave additional credit to the
rumor. Sunday residents of the town
were seeking everywhere for the
criminals. No end of excitement was
created. For nearly "a hours officers
lay in hiding in the brush, expecting
the men to appear at any moment.
The search ceased when two people
