BOLD SNEAK THIEF
VISITS LLANO COLONY

While the colonists were enioying
the music and the dance at the hotel
in Newllano last Saturday night. some
sneak thief was busy Wishing the
homes Of the coIonists.
A house had been. previously enter
ed early in the evening, and later
when Mrs. Tackett was returning 10
her home she was startled to see a
white man leave her house with a Bun
die under his arm. Her first thought
was of her baby whom she had left
asleep in the house while she went to
neighbor's for few minutes, but
the intruder had no use for babies.
An alarm was given at the dance.
and everyone made for the scene Of
the burglary. Many Of the LeesviIle
visitors joined in the hunt and swore
vengence on the sneak thief.
If he could have been caught, he
would have had a rough time with the
crowd.
Very little was secured.

At our regular Psychological meet

It is needless to say this treat was
much enjoyed.
