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.
