One of the largest hauls ever made by burglars in Hickory was made Sunday night when unknown persons entered the home of Dr. and Mrs. W.H. Nicholson and carried off jewelry valued at $500 or more. There was nobody in the house at the time, Dr. and Mrs. Nicholson being at church.
The jewelry was left in the bedroom and the thieves made off with it without giving the alarm.
Among the articles stolen were two gold watches, a diamond ring, two plain band rings, on one of which was Mrs. Nicholson’s name, two bracelets, brooches and pendants, about $20 in money, including two $1-gold pieces and one $2.50 gold piece, together with a lot of miscellaneous jewelry.
Dr. Nicholson figures the loss at $500 at least and has offered $50 reward for the arrest of the miscreants.
