K Tillman's. The cause of the alarm was ascertained to be an attempt at burglary. Mrs. Tillman and her lady hoarders heard a noise at a window and saw a ne<?re man trying to open the blind One of the ladies ran to tlia phone and tang the be'l preh riding as If she was phoning to some one; telling them to conic to Mrs. Tillman's at once, and then thanking the gentleman and asking him to please hurry.' The negro walked leisurely out of the yard, and disappeared. In ahout an hcyir lliev were annoyed again ' by soma one shaking a blind to ' one of the back windows and then it was they all **egan screaming at the top of their voices. A crowd aoon gathered and efforts were made to astertain who the would-be burglar could be. Lawrence Truesdel, the colered I oy who was in the employ ot Treasurer Cant hen was t#c lirst person to reach the home anil make inquiry as to what was the matter. It became a matter of concern to | know why he was up at that time and happened to be so near the place and saw no one run. II^a explanation seemed satisfactory, | hut upon fui ther investigation yesterday he was entangled in a 1 chain of circumstances that made his guilt quite probable. It was decided to commit him to jail and on searching him, several articles of jewelry were found in his socks?among them a gold brace1-a. -11 I a ? let and iock ana sverai rings which were identified as having been stolen from Mr. W. F. Cloyd's residence by a burglar who entered it the same night about 10 o'clock, while Mr. and Mrs. Cloyd were at the dapot to meet their daughters who came in on the train. After being com- ( mitted to jail he implicated another boy, Frank Lowry, who was also committed to jail. Truesdol has heretofore borne a good reputation. Auditor Cook has finished the tax books and turned them over to Treasurer Cauthen, and re- i ceived his receipt for the same. ; The amount receipted for andte he collected, is $47,302.25, diyided as follows: State tax. $10,845.24; County tax $9,760 72; C. & C.
