"Quick Service”
When In Need
Although emptying bis revolver at
their fleeting forms, Nightwatchman
Tom Price about midnight - Sunday
night failed to stop two men who en-
tered the J. F. Raley drug store on the
south side of the court square. As
Mr. Price was making his rounds at ths
rear oY the business buildings on the
south side be saw two men emerge
from the rear door of the Raley store.
He ordered them to stop but they fail-
ed to comply with the request and ran
toward South Locust street. Mr. Price
opened fire at the men, chasing them
up Locust street to the sdpth side of
the square. One ran east around the
Exchange Bank building and the other
ran down the south side and tlieq west
behind the W. B. McClurkan building
Mr. Price emptied his revolver but fail-
ed to bring the men to a halt.
Assistance was called and the fugi-
tives were traced for a sonsiuerob’.e
distance but after a very careful seared
they could not be located.
Practically the only thing missed
from the Raley store was a quantity
of narcotics. All tablet and powder
narcotics were taken and it w?s esti-
mated the loss amounted to 840 or ‘850.
A nickel, all the money in the cash
register, was taken, a watoh belonging
to S. A. Gibson, which was left theft
Saturday night to be taken to a jew-
eler for repairs also was stolen. It was
believed the men were “dope fiends”
and were transients here. Both were
white men, one a large and Flo other
small.
Shortly before the discovery of the
men at the Raley drug store, G. W.
Saunders, who* rooms in the McClur-
kan building on the south side of the
court square, found intruders in his
room but they were frightened away
without getting anything.
A report was also Received that In-
truders were making an effort to breafc
into the City garage oir East Hickory
street, but officers could find no one
on investigation. Some time during
the night a large plate glass window
at the Sheridan-Bennett garage on West
Oak street was broken out, but the hole
was not large enough for a man to
enter and it was said by the officers
that this probably had no .connection
with the visit of the thieves in the
city. A large wrench w-as lying on the
sidewalk near the window and it was
thought some mischievous, passerby
broke out the glass with it.

ROUND ABOUT TOWN
“Cotton between Aubrey and Denton
will practically all have to be replant-
ed,” said S. J. Alexander, who was
in Saturday night’s hail storm north of
Denton. “That cotton which was not
beaten to bits was washed away by
the heavy rain. Wheat which .was
headed out was practically destroyed,
but that which was not headed out
did not seem to be damaged so severe-
ly. As I went to Aubrey Saturday af-
ternoon 1 noticed several farms look-
ing unusually well, but when I came
back Sunday morning there was prac-
tically nothing left but the stems. The
hail came thickly from the size of a
hen’s egg down, while the rain came- visiting relativi
down in sheets. I don’t believe 1 have .....
ever seen such slaughter of small
plants before?’ ,
