And the burglars still pursue them!
Attempts were made to enter five more homes last night. Burglaries were reported at the following places:
The Jackson residence, 10 Chango street.
E.E. McCoy, 50 Metcalf street.
Durham Stallings, 52 Metcalf street.
C.E. Hooker, 106 Broad street.
Tom Daniels, corner of Pollock and Broad streets.
This brings the total list of burglaries to 13 for the past week, which is believed to be a record for New Bern that never has before been equaled or surpassed.
The police caught one of the men last night and gave chase. Several shots from the officers failed to halt the man. All the bullets went wild.
