THE WAYNESVIIXE MOUNTAINEER rnwi . . , - i Burgin Brothers Catch Thieves In "Midnight Watch" Carl Leopard, charged with breaking, entering and larceny, was bound over to Superior court for trial at a preliminary hearing in magistrate's court here on last Fri day afternoon. Leopard, with Mark Stamey, the latter has not yet been apprehend ' ed, are alleged to have been enter ing and stealing from the store of Burgin Brothers at the depot for the past several months. The owners had been missing ar ticles of food and clothing for some time and could find no clue as to who was stealing from them, so they decided for one of the mem bers of the firm to sleep in the building in the hopes of catching the guilty parties. On Saturday night, Nov. 21st, Hurst Burgin started sleeping in the building, and on the night of the 25th, he was aroused about 12:20 by sounds of someone trying to get into the basement. He heard continued sounds as the unknown parties made their way across the basement into the store. It took them about 40 minutes to get into the main floor of the building, according to Mr. Burgin. They came up into the store through a ventilator 14 by 16 inches, which they very carefully placed back each time and its temporary removal was not noticed the next day by the owners. Mak ing their way in one part of the basement they had to crawl through a 12 by IS inch passage in order to reach the ventilator In the meantime Mr. Burgin had made arrangement with the tele phone operators that when he took down the receiver they were to call the officers. So he bided his time until the boys were busy at work, and then lifted the receiver.

If I could conquer the mighty sea With all its treasure and vast energy. Would I not be the undying force Or the stars that guide my far-away course? If I could encircle the heavenly sphere The Angels and Saints and everything there, Would I not be the insuperable law Or the rainbow shining from God's back door? If I could destroy the whole universe With malignant gas and unholy curse Would I not be a symbol of effulgent light Or just a blind worm that hides in the night? If I could re-incarnate my whole life through And sack again the gold from Christian and Jew, Would that make me a god on the earth Of merely a "jerk" from the day of my birth?
