Stores of T. Ii. Kahn and J. F? Bland Enured Sunday Night?Blood? hound Killed hy Train?Other Rob? beries. Mayesvlllc, June 9.?It seems that an epidemic of burglaries Ih In prog? ress in this town. Durin gthe wind and rain Itom last night, someone or several burgalrs entere<l the store of T. L. Kahn on Main street and also the market of J. F. Hland on the op? posite side of the street. One of the large plate glass windows in tho door of the Kahn store was smashed and the robber made his entrance in this way. From the bloody condition of the floor, the man must havo cut himself on the glars. A quantity of clothing and shoe? are missing from the stock. At the market, the cash register was opened and about three dollars taken. The burglars made good their get a-way. Chief Hinson got on the trail of the man or men at once with his fine young bloodhound and followed the trail down the Coast Line railway track toward Sumter. At a point about three mlies from Sumter, near Betts* mill, the early morning pas? senger train No. 35, overtook the dog and ran over him. It is supposed that the dog was so Intent on the traTl that "he paid no attention to the train. Tils loss is a very serious one to the policeman and the town generally. On Friday night, there were three houses entered, Mrs. L* S. Griffin lost a quantity of groceries from her pantry and two negro houses were looted of clothing. About three weeks ago, the HSW of J. E. Barnett, next door to the Kahn store, was entered through the plate glass windows. It is possi? ble that the same party entered both of these stores as his method of en? trance was the same, and the other party is supposed to have come from the direction of Sumter. An effort is being made to run down the burglars but chances appear to be slight in capturing them. Had not the train put such a tragic stop to the hunt this morning, the criminal would no doubt have been located. CRIMINAL COUNT SESSION'.
