J- W. Gaddy of Dillon, the visitor, proceeded to his room, only to discover that all the brothers were asleep, and upon awakening them, they discovered that five suits, a suitcase full of clothes, two wallets containing $38, two Kappa Sigma fraternity pins, three Elgin watches, and several pairs of trousers had disappeared. The police were called immediately, and after a thorough search, four pairs of shoes were found in a pile dumped in a far corner of the adjoining yard. None of the other articles have been recovered, but police are still working on the case. Although the front door was left open the night of the Damas, the burglar preferred breaking the latch of the back door and thus gained entrance. u. s. o.
