THIEVES RAID ICE BOXES.

Put To Flight at Rev. J. C. Panett’s By James George. Petty thieves called on eight families Friday evening and relieved them of their supply of milk, eggs bread, etc. The raid was started at Prof. I. X. Warren’s, and followed m succession to W. H. Morrison’s, Dr. E. C. English’s, Mrs. M. Medicos’, Rev. Kindig’s, H. L. Kiplinger’s, B. K. Zimmerman's and Rev. Parrett’s, where they were put to flight by James George, who was passing by and saw them trying to effect an entrance in a closet. At the latter place they escaped with ah umbrella and two loaves of bread. Nothing but edibles and drinkables were taken, and it was probably the work of young boys.
