A DEN OF THIEVUS It will be recalled that mention was made in Tuesday's issue of a robbing cmmitted at the store of Mr. Des Portes' last Saturday evening. Nin Coleman was then mentioned as one of a band of abeut four who were en gaged in a systematic robbery. Liter developments show that the supposi tion advanced at that time is going to prove true. Wednesday evening Po liceman Gilbert, Mr. Holloway of Columbia, and Mr. R. W. MattLews went cut to Nin's house, which they found well decorated with a large quantity of bleaching. Then a drawer was opened aid still more of the same goods was found. A search of the house was m,-, and Nin was found to be pos esse l of more new pans and other clo hing than is customary with the most u,-" -date plates of fashion. Nin was asked to try on a pair of these pant., when I*, there was veri fied the resemblance in the fit of his pants to two cities of France -Touluase and Toulon. The officers didn't continue multi plying words with him as his acts were more condemning than any words could have been. Before reach ing town Nin acknowledged that the pants had been taken from Mr. Lan decker. As to that bolt of bleaching, Mr. Gladden, of the Winnsboro Racket Company, recognized it afar off as the piece that had been missing for several days. There was .a bat which Nin claimed to have paid Mr. Gladden $150 for, when Ar. Gladden's price for the same was only $1.15 to one and all. Other partie, of this den of thieves, which is located about three miles from town, are sure to be arrested. Their arrest will be a matter of Jy to the merchants who have been consider ably annoyed this way of Late, though they have not been able heretofore to get any tangible evidence. Lma.-Jost as we go to press the policemen have come in with three more of the band of robbers and a large quantity of the stolen goods. Two more of the party have been spotted and will be given quarters in the jail if there is enough room to be found for them. The Appetite of a Goat.
