ROBBERS RANSACk HOME OF
mrs. A. HORD LAST night
Most Every Drawer In Fourth Street
Home Is Found Torn Open and
Contents Scattered-Little
Found Missing.

Some time during the early part of
Wednesday night would-be robbers
entered the home of Mrs. Abner Hord
in Fourth street. and transacted prac-
,tically the entire house during the alb
sence of the family.
When members of the family re-
turned home they found that the front
door which was left unlocked had
been opened and some had entered
during their absence and had gone
through the drawers of the various
pieces of furniture throwing the con-
tents of the drawers about careslessly.
The only thing of value found missing
was revolver which was the proper
ty of Mr.. Oliver Hord. 1t appears that
the would-be robbers were simply on
the search of money but they failed
to find it.
The matter has been reported to the
polio who are making an investigation
but they have not as yet found clew.
1t may be that members of band of
boy robbers from the city of Newport
who were in Maysville during the
early part Of Wednesday night, pull
ed" the job.

DO-NOTH|NGCH
MEMBERS RECEIVE
PASTORS 'SATTENTION
Evangelist-Pastor at Third Street
Church Delivers Unusual Ser.
mon on the PrOdigal.

Rev.\ Peters sermon last evening
on the, theme Gods Love for the
ProdigaP was one of the most STIR
ring messages on this subject the
writer has heard. 1t is customary
when thinking of "prodlgal" for our
thoughts to revert to some low-down
and-out character that has gone to
the extreme limit in sin. In his SER
mon the speaker showed plainly that
there were prodigals even among sup
posed-to-bd good church members
And 1t was to this class that his SER
mon was specially directed. That
class Of members-in-name-only who
are never willing to shoulder any OF
the labor Of Gods kingdom, never
lending their help in any of the
church's activities these were classed
as prodigals in reality as much as the
low-down prIdigal. The preacher
pleaded with them to forsake their
sins of do-notE ingness and to return
to God whose love for them is so great
that He will receive them and bless
them. The sermon made very de-
cided impression on the audience.
This was plainly Visible as one viewed
the earnest attention to the message.
Good is being done. The rousing Cos
pei singing is helping the folks. The
beautiful solo "Alene" sung by Mrs.
Dodds was very effective.
Christ the Precipitation for Our
Sins" is the theme for this evening.
This great truth uttered by the great
Apostle Paul one of his epistles to the
early church comes\ to US in these
modern times with as, much assurance
as it did to the church two thousand
years ago. The SERMON will be Nortn
your hearing. The gir Is quartet that
made such a big hit at \Ruggles camp
meeting last year will sing a selec-
! tion "The Pilot of GalliNee" this even
ing. The chorus has brand new num-
ber, just learned last evening to sing
| at tonight's service. As the influ-
enza situation seems to be clearing
the attendance will without doubt in
crease from now on. Tho attendance
thus far has been very satisfactory
considering the amount ofAsickness in
the city. The prospects foT a success
full campaign grows brighter each
day.

BAND OF THIEVES
SKIPPING Bail PASS
THROUGH MAYSVILLE
Member Of Band Of Newport Boy Rob.
bers Who Were Skipping Ball.
Leaves Crow Here and
"Turns Up" Gang-Of-,
ficers Unable to L0-
cate Others.

About $50 o'clock Wednesday night
young man appearing to be about
eighteen years of age walked into the
Police Station and Informed Chief OF
Police Harry A. Ort that his name was
Clifford Rhein, of Dayton, Ky, and
that he was member of the famous
gang of boy house robbers which was
recently captured in Newport after
they had robbed about fifteen or twen-
ty residences and had obtained every
thing from safety pin to twenty
dollar gold piece. He said that the
entire gang was in Maysville and that
he wanted to turn them up."
Rhein said that the crowd was COM
posed of Leo Cooper, son of Samuel
Cooper, formerly resident of Mays
vile, Fred Carr and Leo Mayer and
that they were arrested on charges Oh
burglary and house breaking on
Thursday, January 16, and were taken
before Juvenile Judge in Newport.
That court released them on bond for
trial on Thursday, January 2S. He
said that the boys had gotten together
and had decided to skip the bond and
evade trial and that they caught cut
of cars for Silver Grove c. & o.
freight yards where they caught a
freight train on their way to Hunting
ton, w. Va.
The gang arrived in Maysville at
about 6 o'clock Wednesday evening
he said, and went into box car in
the tobacco warehouse district. At
ter the other boys had apparently gone
to sleep, Rhein, says he crawled out
and attempted to find an officer tc
have the boys arrested but could not
find one on the street and when he re-
turned to the car all of the boys ha(
gone. He then came to the Polict
Station and told his story.
Immediately Chief Ort ordered The
police to form net over the Eas'
end of the city in an endeavor TO 10
cate the youths but they were unsuc
cessful 1t seems that when the boy
awoke from their nap and founf
Rhein gone they thought there wa'
something up and caught freight
train for points East.
Rhein said the gang had determined
to give him the worst of the deal b!
blaming everything on him and h,
, therefore wanted them caught

, munication with the Juvenile author
