Some unknown party or parties entered the store of Roane and Varner at Whittier Friday night and according to reports took several suits of clothing and a number of watches and other articles. And it is supposed that the same party stole a mule from Mr. Thad Patton, riding th emuel to Barkers Creek, where the mule was exchanged for a Ford roadster and the mule tied up at the side of the road.
It is estimated that the amount of the goods stolen is something like $400 or $500.
The authorities are working on the case and expect to make arrests most any time.
