About noon last Wednesday a tramp forcibly
entered the residence of Edward Pennington,
situated just above town. The house had been
left alone for a short time, the entire family
being down town. Miss Mary Pennington made
discovery of the burglary upon her return from
school, and at once rode down and notified her
father. The fellow had entered by the back
window, breaking the sash, and had made a
pretty thorough search inside. He seemed to
care for nothing but money and jewelry. He
secured a gold chain and a very valuable ring
belonging to Mrs. Pennington, as well as the
funds of the Sunday school of which Miss Mary
is treasurer. This amount was $2.60, all in small
change. The thief was finally arrested, and
gave his name as John Evans. He was given
ninety days in the county jail.
