Unusual Record in tu Early Hours)) of Last Mailt Negro Dairy Wagon! ! jDrive-, Robbed of, $30 Suit, of Clothes, - Gentleman's ; and Lady's j coats stolen., : - r "s "A holdup, robbery and three 'fhefta. This is .Charlotte's record forK n the space-, of about four hours, covering a portion of yesterday afternoon and a little of last-night Hark fo' the tafer While driving peacefully "Homeward after having' made his evenihg route. Mills Price, -driver of the Kirkpatriok dairy wagon, was rudely accosted, last night about 7 o'clock when within but a few hundred . yards M C the .dairy, about Tour miles south'-of the city. Two men; one white and the -other a negro, stopped his team, grabbed-him roughly and jerked -him. down from his perch into the road. Desperately the negro resisted, fighting against his unknown assailants-for the "money which he knew was in his Dockets ana, ior ail he knew, for his life. The robbers, however, were more than a mate rt for the strength of one man. Overpowering him by main strength tbey took $20 of good money from nw pockets and left him to the mer cies Of any wandering Samaritan. The robbery was reported to the pouce, who visfted the scene and found $2.60 in the , road where the fight took place. Other than the fact wiai one was white and the other col orea mere Is no clue to the guilty men. n was the Irony of fate that Price was arrested about a week ago for violating the ordinance against naing a bicycle on a sidewalk with out a light and a pistol was found on his person. He was bound over to Superior Court on the charge of car rying a concealed weapon. And last night, when he needed that gun, he was afraid to carry it and had It not. Case No. 2: Yesterday Mr. A. J. Hagood got a $45 tailor-made suit of clothes, the work of the Tate-Brown Company. It was sent to his homo and laid on a lounge in the hallway. It was there when the family went In to supper. It was not there, when they returned. That's all. Who took it, what manner of man be waa, if a man he were, no living soul except the guilty person knoweth. The one thing that is certain is that Mr. Hagood, who lives at, No. (13 North Church street. Is out a $45 suit of clothes and would like to interview the person who borrowed them. No. 3: A lady's coat was stolen from Xhr residence of MrH. C. Ken drlok. No. 16 South "Myers, last night. Mystery again warps the incident In an impenetrable haze. It Is another case, apparently, of the open door and the conscienceless prowler who was not slow to tako advantage of It. No. 4: Mr. C. J. Bontlc, of No. 80 East Ninth, Is looking for a blue coat, containing a personal note for $225 and the others for $25 each, eigne by a King's Mountain man. This was taken some time In the late afternoon. No clue. That is the record for one quiet period. Rarely. Indeed, is It dupli cated, and yet any day and any time It is liable to happen. Such occurrences are useful only in proportion as the householders of the city learn thu lesson of care and realize that human nature, however much they would like to think so, is not all white. Pneak thieves, as is abundantly evi denced by the foregoing, are abroad In the city. To prevent their work is not only far easier, it is also far more satisfactory, than the cure.
