B. Dickson, B. H. Carter”A. A. Smith, G. W, Mershon, J. F. Sloan and Mrs. J. W. Cannon, at the lat- ter place the effects of Mrs. Cannon and Mr. Slaughter, whose family oc- cupies a part of the Cannon resi- dence, were plundered. The Dickson residence was entered through the rear door, the thief tearing a hole in the screen thus entrance to the house. Th‘\‘ dresser drawers, trunks, etc., were opened and their contents strewn over the floor. The articles taken were six watches and a new gold eye gaining pair m’\; One of the watches was that given Mrs. Dickson by her | baseball to beplayed in husband at the time of their mar-|lLuakeland at any time that will be | riage and therefore greatly valued [suitable, with this understanding by her; the remainder were valuabie | that the money taken in at the gate | but not so highly prized.

Carter’s yard just before going into Mr. Young's home and as the Carter family reported their home entered, it is quite likely that the negro was going into the Youngs’ home for change without contem-| plating the necessity of asking fo. it. Mr. Youngs was seated behind a fern and was not seen by the ne- gro unti] he was in the act of enter- ing the front door. The Carter family reported that $1.55 was stolen from them and also an alligator card case. They were away from home at the time. Two houses on South Florida ave- nue were entered—the home of Mr. Mershon and Mr. Smith. At the Mershon home nothing was reported missing except a pistol, but at Smith’s a revolver and $2.50 in money was secured. The home of Mrs. Cannon was en- tered and ransacked from top to bot- tom. Some money was secured from Mrs. Cannon and also a gold watch, which was highly valued on account of having been her late husband’s. From the second floor the thief evi- dently went through the lower rooms, occupied by the Slaughter family, stealing a suit of clothesand some money, the full amount from both families being about $7.50. The thief apparently had decided to take a suit case belonging to Mr. Slaughter and later changed his mind, as Mr. Cannon's watch was found in the suitcase, which indicat- ed that after putting the articles in the grip he had taken them out again and forgot the watch. The de- light of the family on finding the treasured time piece can better be imagined than expressed. The home of Mr. J.
