The Thieving Goes On
A few nights ago the house of Joseph Elliott, of near New Alexandria, was broken into and a small sum of money and a few other articles taken there-from. Suspicion rest upon the same person who omitted the robbery at Jeannette a few weeks ago, and who, while being taken to jail, jumped from the train and escaped. Sloan has been in that neighborhood for some time and was well acquainted with the premises.
On last Friday night an attempt was made to break into the store of Inman Goldburger, in New Alexandria, but the thieves were frightened away before they succeeded their purpose. The same person who committed the Elliott robbery is suspected of being connected with this attempt.
