Stealing Cow and Burglary.
Norman Royster and Lester Bur
well, two negro boys, stole John
Thomas' nice cow Thursday night
and carried her through the mud to
Henderson to sell to the butchers.
Early Friday moraine Thomas missed
his cow and stepped stride of his mule
and put out for Henderson. On his
arrival he saw the boys with cow and
stepped around and informed a police
man who soon had Royster and Bur
well with nippers on their wrists.
They had not sold the cow and Thomas
was quite happy. The boys were
brought back to Oxford by Chief
Wheeler, and Saturday were tried be
fore Mayor Pro Tern S. W. Minor who
bound them over to court, and failing
to give bond were given steel rooms
at Hotel deTurner.
Royster is in double trouble as Mrs.
A. B. Currin charged him with enter
ing her bed room in the night while
she was asleep and stealing some jew
elry out of her trunk some nights ago.
She described his size and the cap he
bad on when she awoke and descover
ed him crawling on her bed room floor
and quietly followed him out towards
the back door. Some of the jewelry
was found in his possession, and he will
now be tried for burglary.
