NIGHT PROWLERS ABOUT.

George Mustard reports that some man was prowling about his home at midnight Thursday night. Mr. Mustard, lives with his son-in-law, Sylvester Gray, and having occasion to get up about 12 o’clock he noticed a man peering into one of the back windows. He watched the man for a few moments, when the latter turned and walked around to another side of the house then returned and peeked into the window again. Mr. Mustard went up stairs and awakened Sylvester, hut Mrs. Gray also awoke and she turned on the electric Hghts, which of course spoiled all chance of catching the intruder, who made off before they could get outside the house. Someone is also reported to have been prowling about the John Jessen home the same nfght. A load of shot will be the gift administered some of these times If the prowler continues to prowl.
