The Mystery Solved

The mystery Of the succession
of burglaries that had been taking
place quite frequently the past
few weeks, has been disclosed by
the fine detective work of Sheriff
Payne, who quietly unravelled the
clew step by step, until he found
the perpetrators of the deeds.
AS was noted in these columns
the robberies occurred, first the
Raggio Pressing Club shop; then
De Vargas jewelry store; next
Johnson's, till the Sheriff had his
suspicious, but not having sufti-
cient evidence, he kept quiet.
On Wednesday night when Nc
Ferren's barber shop was burglar
lied, and the broken glass in the
transom and tlood on the floor
gave another clew, he made it a
point to look up the suspects, and
found one with cut hand, whom
he promptly arrested, and the
other he found at home with all
of the articles stolen from De
Vargas still in his possession.
Hill and Douglas Phillips, ooys
of about eighteen, are the crimi
nails, who acknowledged the thefts
and were promptly put in Jail,
where they will await the action
of court.

For the first time in the history
of The Enterprise, there has been
this delay of three days in going

Natchitoches and Shreveport, and
it took FIVE days to repair what
ordinarily should take two or

given them by just and perfect sys-

So the black ard red hat cord stands
for something.
And that something lies deeper than
a soldier.
It means that he is man, well
trained and cultured; chivalrous, and
patriotic and who is a blessing to the
community into which he may go.
But in this exigency, he is a soldier.
Though he may have been born into,
and reared in, a home of luxury and
fashion, yet he has his equal footing
here and he is too much man to COM
