NIPPED IN THE BUD 1 IN ATTEMPTED 8UR6LARV OF SCHEUER MAN It WHITE S STORE. The Burglar* Scared Away, But Two Suspected Parties Arrested Near By. On Tuesday eight just after iLo council adjourned, and when every thing bad jailed down, the police were inform* d tb it s bold and dar ing robbery waa about to be commit ted and that tbe burglars were then at work iryiug toenter Scbeuertuan & White's store, Tbe brat news re reived, was given to Dixie Isoa at d Milton McCullough, who were etaud ing on the streets engaged in con rersatioD. a negro came to them and told them that some men, mime ing tbe parties, were endeavoring to •nter tbe rear door of tin above named store. When they first re ceived the informttiou they belli ved it a bon, but tbe negro seemed in such d*ud earnest about tbe mrtter they decided to luvestigate matters and immediately went in search of tbe police. When they were found they proceeded at once to tbe lear of tbe store and there fennd that they bad been correctly informed. Ie tbe door several holes had been bored and in one *>f them wss a bar of iron placed as if the burglars in tended tu use it to wrench tbe lock from the door. Several other tools sre fouud lying conveniently around. Tbe burglars must have become alarmed and left before their work bad been completed.

He was cornered by a News reporter, who found that he wa* born in Fayette county and is now about 53 year* old. From Fayette lie went to Jonesboro, aud from there to the war, bc rving four years in Co. E, of the 30th Ga. Regiment.
