When Will H. Bell got up Thursdny
morning his pants, which had been
hanging within two roct ol tits neaa
whon he went to bed. wore gone. A
Bide window was up and back door
standing open. Mr. Bell found his
rnnts in alley, but tho v..ou mat no
md left In his pocket was gono. This
Is the fourth tlmo thai Mr. Bull has
been robbed Inside of eight years, and
each time tho robbers entered his house
through tho sumo window. It is on
dark side of house, which may account
for this.
When A. P, King got up Thursday
morning his pants were missing, but
were found on the floor in the kitchen.
A sido window and the back door
wore left open nt King's. The rob
bers only got Til cents out of Mr. King's

The robbers tried six windows at t . M.
Brown's, but a sub-sill fooled thorn. At

no further. At tho Catholic parsonage
a ladder wus put up to a second story
window und a jimmy used, but tho rob
bers must have been frightened away.
The robbers did their work so quietly
thut they wero not heard at any of tho
places they went through.
Three well dressed trumps wore ar
rested Thursday forenoon on suspicion,
but there was no evidence against them
and they were released. In tbe afternoon
these fellows were seen looking carefully
around somo residences and were re-ar
rested Thursday evening. Friday they
were given a second hearing before May
