NIGHT ROBBER CAPTURED.
Was Getting Away With Goods Taken
From Dillon Stores Saturday
Night.

1t was during the dull hour" just
before dawn last Sunday morning
when the third trick" operator at
the Seabord passenger station was
meditating over the possibility of the
coal strike tying up traffic and CIV
ing the hard worked railroad men a
forced vacation, that stalwart ne
gro man walked into the station and
rudely interrupted the. operators
thoughts by asking when the next
train would arrive. The man carried
asheavy trunk on his shoulder which
he deposited on the floor with a sigh
of relief. The operators suspicious
were aroused over the untimely ar
rival of the lone passenger, and Sc
curing assistance he placed the ne
gro under arrest. An examination of
the trunk disclosed miscellaneous
collection of wearing apparel, and
when Charlie Saleeby's name was
found on several boxes containing
shoes of various shapes, makes and
sizes there was no longer any doubt
in the opertor's mind that some bad
business had been going on while the
town slept in the early morning
hours. The negro was turned over to
the police and an examination of the
stores in town showed that Charlie
Saleeby's and Morris Fass' stores had
been robbed during the night. There
were no evidences that a forcible en-
trance had been made into Charlie
Saleeby's store, but one of the plate
glass windows on the side of Morris
Fass' store had been smashed. Later
the negro admitted that he had con-
cealed himself in Charlie Saleeby's
store before closing hours Saturday
night, and after helping himself to
the articles of merchandise that
pleased his fancy made his exit
through a rear door.
A collection Of coats and trousers
of various sizes and colors that had
been taken from Morris Fass, store
was found near the railroad tracks
next morning. An examination Of the
clothing stock showed that several
suits had been broken, but Mr.. Fass
says he is a good sport and If the
party who got the pieces will come
UdCh uS Will SOIl IlAO OIhSlA POI 10
belonging to the suit at the usual
prices and ask no questions.
But the surprise of surprises came
Sunday morning when Officer McRae
went to the guard house to look the
prisoner over. He entered the build !
ing. but no where could the negro |
be seen. The doors were securely
locked and the windows barred, just
the same as he had left them not
long since. There was not an OPEN
ing anywhere large enough for a
mouse to escape through. 1t seemed
as if the prisoner had vanished into
thin air. The case was puzzling. Lat
er in the day Officer McRae in COM
pany with Sheriff Lane returned to
the guard house and began syste-
matte search. A small hole was dis
covered in the floor, and after re-
moving the boards the negro was
found lying flat on the ground tight
ly wedged between two concrete col
umns.
The prisoner is being held on the
charge of grand larceny.
