Police Looking for Ham Thief, Also Ellis Brooks Who Stole Fabric, April 23, 1926

Makes Away with Hams

Persons unknown forced an entrance in the butchery establishment of Mr. W.R. White Tuesday night and made away with about 100 pounds of hams and a small quantity of bacon.

Efforts to learn the identity of the robber or robbers have met with no success.

Ellis Brooks, young colored man here, lifted a bold of crepe de chine from the store of Mr. W.C. Harrison Tuesday afternoon and has not been found by the officers. It is generally thought that he is in Norfolk.
