-FOUR Jackson ST.
HOUSES RANSACKED
Thieves No Respectors OF
Persons, as Preacher Was
on Their List
FELLOW WHO HEARD
NOISE, SUSPECTED CAT

Open and ransacked drawers. over
turned furniture. a litter Of articles on
the floor, greeted four amazed families
living on South Jackson street. between
Elm and Linde nstreets, when they
came downstairs this morning. The
thieves had evidently started their raids
In the Edgar r.. Sherwin home, at No.
300 South Jackson street, getting in by
forcing open a back window. They Sc
cured several rings, and a small sum Of
money here.
The thieves then broke into the next
house, where the Rev. GAprge A. Cooke
and family live, by the same method
and thoroughly ransacked the FIRST
floor, making tho house look like a cy-
clone had struck 60. They took about
al 80 In money aud a wrls watch.
At the next house, where Mrs. Eliza
beth Glynn lives, they secured $40 In
cash, and 50 additional which they took
from the pay envelope OF a young son
OF the family. They took a lamp from
the parlor, but left a child's bank with
70 cents in IT, They found a saucer
with a dime and two pennies, taking
the dime and leaving the pennies. A
chest Of silver in a drawer OF the side
board was left undisturbed. Two foun-
tain pens and wrist-watch belonging
to a daughter Of the family were also
stolen. a back window was found
opened in the Adams house. adjoining,
but evidently the thieves were fright
ened of before they could enter
However, they went on to the y. o. Por-
ter house, and ransacked the lower
floor, not securing much OF value.
A neighbor returning from work
about 3 o'clock this morning, heard a
backyard disturbance in the vicinity
robbed, but he thought 1t was cats tip
ping over a garbage can or something
similar. Another man noticed four
boys. IN their teens, in the neighbor-
/ hood about o'clock this morning. Two
OF them had light caps on, and the
/ others dark caps. In no case did the
/ thieves go upstairs, or take silverware,
so that the burglaries had more the
] appearance OF the work OF juveniles
/ or amateurs, than Of professionals. No
robbery has ever occurred In the block
before. according TO the memory Of the
/ present householders, and some OF
! them had not even locked the down
stairs windows.
Mrs. Alvah Lloyd. living in the second
story Of the house where the Cooke
! family resides, happened to have a
! good-sized amount Of money on hand
which she is thankful was not taken.
Her husband is a soldier at Anniston,
Ala, going in the draft contingent OF
May.
