N1eht Watchman in Brookland Store
Hits Hat.


Hits Hat.
State, Sept. %.
When a negro robber stuck his
head through a broken window pane
in the store of D. E. George, New
Rrookland, early yesterday morning,
he was fred on by two watchmen,
who had been stationed inside the
store, and, dropped from his perch,
leaving his hat behind. Examination
Of the hat showed that a bullet had
gone through it, though there were
no signs of blood on it nor on the
ground wheee it was found.
Mr., Georges store, he says, has
been practically cleaned out by rob-
bers, and this week attempts have
been made to enter stores adjoining
his. the store of M. S. Gibson having
been given attention, few nights
ago. In efforts to stop the robberies,
K. Corner and Cleveland DuBose sta
toned themselves in Georges store
and early yesterday morning heard
the robber preparing to make his at
tempt at entrance. A ladder was
placed against the rear of the store
and the window glass broken. ne
gro stuck his head through and
was preparing to enter when he was
fred upon. The shotgun used snap
ned and a pistol was called into serv-
ice, four shots being fired. The negro
fell to the ground and It was thought
at first that he had been killed. Ex-
animation showed, howeevr, that he
had escaped, leaving his hat with
hole through it on the ground. 1t is
thought that he was struck by some
Of the bullets.
The. hat was brought to the police
station in Columbia yesterday, Mr..
George says, in the hope that it might
be Of some service in finding the
man. Store robberies in Brookland
have been of frequent occurrence this
summer.

Lard was rendered by the choir.
