Farm Residence Near Remington Robbed Thursday.

Remington Press: Burglars gained entrance to the farm house of Walter Snyder on the Bartee farm one and a half miles south of town, some time Thursday night and stole SBO in money and a diamond ring valued at SBS, and made their departure as quietly as they had entered, without disturbing any of the occupants of the house who were sleeping up stairs. Mr. Snyder works by the month for Charles Bartee and is not in the habit of keeping money in the house. He sold some fat cattle to Croft Cheek this week, and thinks the theif must have known of this transaction, and that he had tht money in the house. He will pay a liberal reward for any clew that leads to the arrest of the guilty parties. It is hard to believe we have this kind of people in our midst, but the jot looks very much like the work of some local man who was acquainted with the circumstances.
