BURGLAR HAS BEENJAUGHT 'Officers are Sure Th^t They Have Right Man ERNEST BUTLER IS ARRESTER FOR FISHING TROUSERS FROM ROOM AND STEALING WATCH AND MONEY. (From Thursday's Dally.) The police officer® have a negro named Ernest Butler, a son of Wal ter Butler, In prison here on a charge of stealing a watch from Mr. Tood at the Taylor boarding house two or three weexs ago. Chief Dam-pier believes that Buit- ler la the negro who has been fishing articles from rooms through windows >by the use of a long pole. Readers of The Times will recall that a large number of robberies have occurred i n this manner. While the occupant of a room was peace fully snoozing in hla bed, some thief would go to his window and lift out his trouser^ and otb«r articles of clothing and would rolb them of all the valuables i n the pockets. Two or three weeks igo Mr. # Todd’s trousers were secured from his room by the use of a long pole. A gold watch was taken from the pockets together yrith some money ana the trousers* were thrown down In the yard. It happened that Mr. To'dfcPs watch had a monogram engraved on it and the number of the watch was regis tered with on e of the jewelers here. This made it easier Jo identify the time piece. Officers Walker • and Presley found the watch in possession of a negro named Will Scott and when Will found that he wa* about to be -'arrested he stated that he bought it . from Ernest Butler. Chief Dampler set out find Ernest Butler and finally located him. .The negro admittedihe sold the watch .to Scott, but denied that he •told it. He said that he bought the watch from a negro boy, but he did not know what the boy's name was. This is an old story which the police officers hear every day or so. The officers believe that they will get other evidence against Butler before the time for his trial. Will receive two car loads of 1,200 to 1,400 pound mules Wed nesday, January 17, and we bought them to sell.
