GLOVER BOYS ARE
 HELD AS BURCLA ARS RIFLED CLIFFS SAFE
Dock and Elmer Glover, Conway Youths, Confess After Clever
 Work by Constables.

Dock Glover, Conway youth just under Is years, and his brother, FL mer Glover, 23, were held today on charges of burglary following their arrest by Constable Bob King and Deputy J. A. King and full confes- sion of the crime and the recovery of $89.65 in money alleged to have been taken from the safe of Booker T. Clitft, local grocer, on Sunday night. 1 Dock Glover was released under a bond of $200 to appear for prelimi- nary hearing before Justice G. M. Easterwood on Friday, March II. Elmer's bond was fixed at $500, which he was unable to furnish and he was committed to jail to await a hearing on the same date.
 The arrest and confession of the young men was the result of unusual ly energetic and clever work by the constable and deputy. Suspicion, the officers said today, was directed to- ward Dock Glover on account of the fact that he was a former employe of the Clifft store and was familiar with the fact that the safe, on account of difficult combination, was usually left unlocked. It was found that young Glover left Conway Monday and Deputy J. A. King traced him to Russellville last night. The officer spent the entire night on his trail, but Glover eluded him and returned to Conway on freight train early to- day. MT. King followed him and found him on the street early today.
 Dock at first stoutly denied any connection with the burglary, but when the officer showed several of his statements concerning his move ments and money in his possession were not true, the boy finally con- fessed, Deputy King said. He vigor- ously asserted, however, that he had no accomplice and it was only after a severe cross examination that he finally admitted his brother, Elmer was with him. His reluctance to in- criminate his brother was matched by Elmer himself, who, when arrested assumed the entire responsibility for the burglary and said he led his younger brother into it, the officers said
 After Docks confession he led the officers to the home of the boys mother on Faulkner street and turned over to them the money, of which they claimed they had spent only a few dollars. The exact amount of money taken was unknown to MT ! Clifft, on account of part of the S135 in the safe being in the form of checks. The boys also showed the of ficers a point on the railroad ditch where the checks were thrown, but they had been washed away by last nights rain. Elmer was arrested at his home when the officers were taken there by Dock.
 ] While the Glovers confessed to the burglary of the Clifft store they de- nied entering the Norwood wholesale grocery or attempting to enter the Pinson feed store or Frank dry goods store, as were reported yesterday, and Deputy King said he believed they were telling the truth about this and that others were responsible for pill fering tobacco, candies, etc, from the Norwood store.
 The boys are sons of the. late Jack Glover of Vilonia and their mother lives in Conway. Elmer Glover re- turned to Conway about one month ago after an absence of about two years and surrendered to the officers on a charge of grand larceny for the alleged theft of a bicycle and four charges of gaming, for which indict- ments were brought against him shortly before his departure. He made bonds aggregating $900 to ap- pear on these charges, but his bonds men declined to assume further re- sponsibility and he was committed to jail.
 When he finally turned Elmer over to Jailer J. I. Sumers this afternoon Deputy J. A. King had his first op- portunity to sleep since Sunday night and ate his first meal since Monday night He and Constable Bob King have been "on the job" constantly since the burglary was discovered Monday morning.
