Store Robbed In Georgetown
Some time during last Sunday
night, presumably between midnight
and day, yeggmen forced an en-
trance to the local American Store,
by means of saving the iron bars OF
the rear windows, and blew open
the company's iron safe, almost
completely wrecking it. Their only
reward, as far as can be learned,
was the sum of S5.19 in change
which had been left in the safe. AS
yet nothing more has been missed
from the store, but the yeggmen in
their search for money left the door
of the refrigerator ajar, causing the
loss of about thirty dollars worth OF
meat. The aggregate damage done
is estimated at two hundred dollars.
District Superintendent Crawford
Bailey and Charles Green, the local
manager, were in the store as late
as 1890 o'clock Sunday night, and
the yeggmen's visit was after that
hour. AS yet there is no clue to
the identity of the robbers.
