Bold Burglars in Ike City
Last Morday morning shortly after ;
twelve o’clock a bold burglar took in
the section of the city on the street
that passes in front of Dr. Gray. It
seems that the burglar started in at
the home of Mr. Meeks, manager of the
Snply Company. Here he got nothing
and it is not certain that the house was
entered, but the tracks are in the yard.
Next the home of T. L. H. Collins was
entered and here the sum of $35 was
taken and the family was not even dis
turbed. Next the tracks are found in
Mr. Shuptrine’s yard, but his dog was
loose and the burglar was no doubt
scared away before he entered the
house. The tracks are also seen in the
yards of F. M Smith and W. T. China,
but there is no sign that he entered
either house. He entered the home of
Dr. Gray, going in the Doctor’s bed
room through a back door. Dr. Gray
was awakened but kept very still for a
minute. He caught a glimpse of the
negro as he passed a window. The Doc
tor then jumped out of bed and the
negro made his way out the same way
he came in. Dr. Gray had no gun or
pistol in the room at the time or their
might have been one burglar less. He
went out, however, called up a few of
his neighbors, got a machine and ’sent
to the camp for the dogs and brought
them in, but they could seemingly do
nothing with the trail although it was
only a little over an hour old. There
were seemingly two ofthe burglars, as
the tracks of two are plainly seen all
around the houses mentioned. One of
the tracks was that of a man and seem
ingly had on socks. His pants were
long, too, and the print of them showed
around his heel in the soft sand. The
other trreks were short and were possi
bly those of a boy. They were both
unmistakeably darkies and they cross
ed andre-crosßed their trail so often or
used somthing on their feet that kept
the blood hounds from trailing them
any distance at all.
The burglars came it seems, from Vi
dalia, where they had worked the pre
vious night, entering several houses in
that city. Which way they went from
Lyons is not known, but the neighbor
ing towns were all notified to be on the
lookout and we hope they will be
caught
‘ Uncle Ike’’ Hussey, we understand,
has decided to get into a larger place
and increase his business. He has
closed a deal for the corner store in the
Trading Company building on the
west side and he is going to have it fit
ted up in style for a house furnishing
and hardware store. Mr. Hussey has
done well since he went into the busi
ness and he is spreading out to meet
thtfdemands of trade. The place now
occupied by Mr Hussey will be taken
by another merchant who will conduct
a general merchandise business.
