OAK CIH STORE IS
! VICTIM OF BURGLARS
| '
. On Tuesday night the plate glass
psindow in the front of the Oak City
Supply C'o's. store was smashed with
| a brick and the store was entered
I an drobbed of a large quanity 'of
merchandise. When the discovery was
made there was no suspicion resting
" "against anyone, however before the
i I'oodhounds arrived guilt was so evi
dent on the faces of William House,
Edward House and Alphons Edmond
son they were taken in sustody und
soon confessed their guilt. They an
.til yoitkg white men, born and raised
ifi the Oak City section and the two
House hros. who are twenty-two and
tvKenty years old have hud fair op
portunities and some schooling. Th(
Edmondson boy is only about sixteen
years old and has not had many ad- 1
vantages in life. It is thought that
WjlTiam House Was the captain of
the gang as he was the most capable
of the liunch. After the ai rest ntn
confession goods vulued at about
s:r.o.iio were fopnd which may in
clude about all the lost sustained,
merchants are yet unable
to suv definitely whether or not other
articles are missing.
The boys also confessed to break
