DARING ROBBERY
EIGHTH STREET
GROCERY STORE
IN CAREFULLY EXECUTED PLOT,
CASH REGISTER OF w. s. PAD.
GETT is LOOTED.
ROBBERS MAKE GOOD ESCAPE
Police Given Good Description of Two
Negroes Who Secured More Than
S11 in Cash Shortly After Dark
Wednesday Night.

Police today were searching for two
unidentified negroes, who last night
staged one of the boldest robberies
reported in months when they rihed
The cash register of w. s. Padgett,
grocer on Eighth street, securing
something over $11 in cash.
According to Mr.. Padgett two ne
groes entered his store shortly after
dark, one of them called for a Coca
Cola, the ice box being in the rear of
the, building Mr.. Padgett walked back
to it, and as he leaned over to pick
UP the bottle the lights went out, Mr..
Padgett thinking the trouble was in
the light plant, and knowing where
his bottle opener was, paid little at
tention to the lights being out, but
went on serving his customer. The
negro who ordered the Coca Cola re-
NAMED to drink it, after Mr.. Padgett
had found that the trouble was not at
the light plant, but that the switch
had been turned. When the lights
were flashed on Mr.. Padgett saw that
his cash register had been opened and
the money taken from it.
The police were called immediately
and Mr.. Padgett gave them a fairly
good description of the men, but a
careful search here has not brought
the robbers to light. However, Chief
of Police Bailey Peyton said no stone
would be left unturned to bring the
men to justice.
Chief Peyton said he was sure the
men who robbed the store were famil-
lar with the arrangements of it.

WARM FIGHT ON
EXTENDING CITY
LINES EXPECTED
OPPOSITION Is ALREADY ACTIVE
AND A REAL BATTLE ROYAL
is ANTICIPATED.
Generally Believed That His Decision
IN the Matter VIII Decide Whether
or Not the Limits viii include the
Subprbs.

Nothing has SO stirred "the natives
as the recent publication in The Her.
aid that an effort would be made to
extend the corporate limits of Colum
bia. Opponents of the extension, res
idents of the territory that would
probably be annexed, are literally "up
in arms" They are going to make
a desperate fight against the payment
of city taxes and apparently the sug-
gestion that no taxes be levied upon
their property from the present debt
OF the city, does not appease them, OF
course there are residents of the su-
burbs who are in favor of extension,
but apparently they are in the minori-
ty. When it comes to the folks in the
city the sentiment is largely In ia.
vor OF extension.
The whole issue will be up to the
legislative delegation from this coun-
ty. Senator Looney is the only mem
ber Of the delegation who is resident
of the ninth district and through leg.
islative courtesy it is probable that
his colleagues, Messrs. Russell and
Jones, will largely defer to his op n
ion. For this reason Judge Looney is
being importuned by advocates for
and against extension, but he IS keep
ing his own counsel. 1t is not improb-
able that before any action is taken
Senator Looney will appoint a day
Tor a public hearing and ask represen-
tatives of both sides to appear and
present their arguments.
The actual fight will begin soon
after the legislature convenes. The
advocates of extension will then have
prepared the necessary legislation to-
gether with survey of the proposed
new limits for presentation to the
delegation.

NO PAYMENTS ON
SHEEP CLAIM Be
MADE TILL IST.
TRUSTEE BURNS CANNOT MAKE
PRO RATA UNTIL AFTER
CLOSE OF THE YEAR.
ASKS CLAIMANTS Be PATIENT
For Obvious Reasons He Would Not
Pay Any Claim Until He Was Ger
tain That All of Them Could Be
Paid in Full.

No payment on claims fled for
sheep killed by dogs will be paid by
Trustee j. Ross Burns until some time
after the first of the year. The trus-
tee will not know definitely that the
funds derived from the dog taxes are
sufficient to pay the claims until after
all have been filed. Under the law the
expenses of the administration of the
law are first paid out of the funds and
then what ever remains is apportion-
ed among the sheep owners who have
filed duly authenticated claims for dam
ages. If there is not sufficient money
TO pay the claims in full each claim
ant is paid pro rata. Hence no distribu-
ton can be made until after the close
OF the year
1t is anticipated now that there will
be ample funds to pay all claims, but
cne or two large claims might be
filed before the close of the year
which would upset all calculations and
make e-apportionment necessary.
If any funds remain after paying the
dog claims they will be placed to the
credit of the school fund.
Trustee Burns requests claimants
who have proved tgheir claims to be
patient and wait until about the mid
die of next month before calling for
their money sosthat he will have an
op opportunity to straighten things out
and make his apportionment.
