WIIO DID IT ? Burglary+ is seldom indulged In in the quiet and law-abiding town of Clinton but on Monday night last three business places wore broken in- to and more or less boo'.y secured. The .places visited were Brown's, dry - goods, Mayor Jackson's, boots and shoes, and W. T. O'Neil's, groceries. -Al; one of the places Wu sale was tampered with and at each the tills were tapped, a nice little suns being secured in each. Thr stores adjoin each other and entrance was effected at the roar in each case by forcing windows. At O'Neil's the w+indoev, which is often opened, wee not fasten- ed astened and was merely lifted, the others being forced. At time of writing the midnight prowler's have not been ap- preeended but there will probably be something doing before many days.
