An all-night vigil for the per

Sheriff W. B. Somers ended
about 5' o’clock Monday morn
ing in the arrest of Fidel Fra
zier, .voung man of Wilkesboro,
as he was in the act of taking
money from the office.
The young man was caught
just as he prepared to leave the
office after taking ?9.4 5 from
the cash drawer. Sheriff Somers,
who liad arrived only an hour
before to relieve one of the
watchers, made the arrest.
Various small sums of money
had been found missing on sev-
e r a 1 occasions during recent
weeks and in an effort to appre
hend the guilty person, watches
had been arranged on several
night.s. but without success. The
watches had been arranged so
that the last watcher would
leave the courthouse before dawr. j
