Burglars Here Again.

Tuesday morning Harrison Wasson, a merchant near the depot, missed his knife and pocket book, and after investigation discovered that during the night some person had entered his house through a window, and taken the property. There was not much, money in the pocket book. During the same night some person tried to get into Reete Hopkins’ house, north of the depot. His daughter heard the noise and set up a yell for her father, and the intended burglar decamped.
