Chased Supposed Burglar.
Excitement ran high for a
short time in Fort Mill late
Tuesday afternoon over the entry
into town of a supposed
i burglar. The man, who apj
peared of middle age, alighted
from the rear of the southbound
I train, and with a package under
his arm started back up the
railroad at a lively gait, glancing
backward at every fgw steps.
His actions created suspicion
and the town officers with several
others.gave pursuit. The
man was chased to a point near
the city cemetery, where he
made his escape into the thicki
ets. During the chase, however.
i the stranger threw down his
I bundle, which was found to coni
tain a hack saw and several new
blades, five new pocket knives,
and about 20 packs of cigarettes.
Two raincoats, which he was
! wearing, were also left behind
by the stranger. Several shots
were tired at the man, but without
apparent effect. An effort
was made to secure bloodhounds
from Rock Hill, but without
avail.
TALK IS CHEAP
i and is alright in its place, but it
won't run the furnace nor bake
bread. If you have hot air in
your house or oven, it must be
produced by burning fuel.
