Some time during the night OF July
1st the bank at this place and the store
of the Summerton Mercantile Co. was
broken into, while the thief not being
familiar with safe blowing, had to leave
the bank empty handed, but IN the
store of the Mercantile Co. your cor
respondent was informed bv Mr.. G. Is.
Davis, manager of the dry goods depart
tment, that while it was impossible to
saw Just what was taken that 1t Was
safe to say that several pairs OF shoes,
few suits of overalls, several suits OF
underwear, a lot of hosiery, suits of
clothes. shirts and many other small
items were missing, while 1t seems
nothing in the grocery department ID
the same building was missing. AS
soon as the robbery was discovered the
store was closed, and Sheriff Gamble
was asked 10 take the bloOdhounds now
in his possession over to put on the
trail, but it seems he was unable for
some reason to get over mere tnat
morning, aud Supervisor Davis being
in Manning quickly offered to take the
dogs over. then Jonn Gamble, police at
Davis Station, was asked TO come over
and manage the dogs. The dogs reach
ed here about 10 O'Clock, and was turn
ed loose in the store where they lmme-
diately took the trail, and on coming
out OF the store they were chained IN
order that the party might keep up:
They followed the trail TO the railroad
down across the trestle ouer to MIR. Z.
NJ. Wilson's plantation, and to Wesley
Green's house, went on the porch ano
could not get trail off, hence Green
was arrested and locked up here until
Saturday, when he was sent to jail.
While he and his mother, who live
together. declare they know nothing
at all about this robbery, yet taking
the statements of the two parties, 1t IS
reasonable TO believe they are guilty,
while it is thought there was more
than one 10 the crowd.
