Small Burglary
Last Thursday afternoon, some party
broke open the cottage occupied by
old gentleman Sharp, ransacked his
trunk and wardrobe, appropriated a
watch therein, threw the clothes pro
miscuously about the room and left
by the rear door. This is the first
sneak thief act of history in our city
for several vears and it is to be^hoped
the culprit will be apprehended and
brought to punishment. Loup City
has been remarkably free from this
class of human hyenas and we trust
another act of the kind above will
be a like period distant. Mr. Sharp
says if the tiilef will only return the
watch, no questions will be asked nor
arrest made so far as he is concerned.
