On two former occasions small sums of money were ob tained, and one night ' last week a burglar was shot at by a neighbor while in the act of attempting an entrance to the same premises. One night recently, we are informed, an attempt was made to enter the house of Mr.. R. H.

The gun failed to respond, but the man at the win dow immediately dropped the sash, the gun catching undenreath,;Mr.JSheppard at one pulled it out and passed to another window, where he got a full view of the retreating burglar as he climbed the fence, hut again the gun Snapped, i, Mr. Sheppard then called for help, but when it came the thief had made his escape. - Subsequent investi gation5 shdwed thatlhe gtihNiras unloaded some i'onethavlrig -taken; It out "to : hunt during the' day and'failed to leave in a charged onT returning it CThat neglect 8aved'one burglar tKe necessriy of attend ing a funeraf u v,Ni "; ' Hear--O citizens,' and take heed that your firearms be charged and primed, for you kno w .not the hour when a desperado may stand by your bedside and you may need a quick delivere.

HOW TO 0 1SPOSB OV BOGDESt Editoks Stab: I desire to' call attention to an outrage that the citizens of Wilming ton have loDg enough submitted to an outrage which seems either to be beyond the ; control of the city government or, if within its control, an evil, which it has fail ed even to check. I refer to the daily or rather nightly stealing which is constantly being: carried on; in our city. In ?other cities, especially in the North and West, men will not submit to having their prem ises invaded and their , property constantly stolen. There vigilance' committees make short shrift of tramps. Here we need. some thing of the kind. No political crusade. but an alliance, an organization of honest men, both negro and white,.for their own protection, and to rid i themselves of these thieving scoundrels, who, too lazy to work, nightly invade the premises of honest men and. deprive them of the fruits of their labor. Let this matter be kept before the people until there is some action taken to put a stop to this evil, and a speedy one. One of The Victims, Several Times. CITY - 1TE91S.
