The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Thursday March 26, 1897 Burglars At Work. Anthony has been remarkably free from house breaking and petty thievery and we have been wont to think and speak lightly of our neighboring towns that have been less fortunate. Our good record was broken last Friday night and slightly fractured on Saturday night. Friday night in room occupied by Prof. M.S. BLAIR and family at the residence of J.S. FAIN just west of Anthony was entered by a burglar and Prof. BLAIR was relieved of his watch, pants and the money contained in his trousers. At E.G. MERRELL's they made two visits and finally succeeded in depriving Mr. MERRILL of an overcoat and other clothing. Saturday night F.H. HAMILTON and Mr. LEIGHT lost their harness by the same method, and other citizens report slight losses. Anthony citizens are pretty well supplied with shotgus and rifles and are proficient in the use of them and the chances are that if the depredations do not cease, some one's anatomy will attest the skill of their marksmanship. It is generally thought th! at the robber or robbers who visited BLAIR's and MERRELL's are residents from their knowledge of facts and surroundings and several are under suspicion. With the caution that is being exercised by our citizens it will hardly be safe for additional attempts in the burglary line.
