Sneakthief Makes Haul At Home of Ross Ramey.

While Mr. and Mrs. Ross Ramey were down town Tuesday evening from their home in the north part of town, a sneakthief entered their home and robbed it of jewelry, including a watch and pair of bracelets, silverware, sll from the pockets of a pair of trousers Ross had left hanging in a closet, and $5 or $6 from their baby’s bank, which had been opened and thrown on the floor. The drawers of the house had been ransacked and the contents were thrown on the floor. Home talent is suspected of the robbery, as the child’s bank had been robbed once in January. This should serve as a warning for persons not to leave money laying around and to lock their houses securely when they leave home.
