BURGLARS IN TOWN.

Someone attempted to gain an entrance to C. A. Robert’s residence at 2 o’clock Sunday morning by prying up a screen and window on the back side of the bouse that was little used. The noise awakened Mrs. Roberts, who has to hear for both herself and Charley, and she raised enough racket in awakening the latter and her father. Uncle Simon Phillips, and hunting for a revolver to scare the would-be burglar away, much to her husbands disgust, who was just thirsting for gore after he got awakened up and found the burglar had fled. His work on the window could be seen, however, also footprints in under the window, and evidently his intentions were quite good for swiping Charley’s pocket-book.
