Sneak thieves abound in our community. Last Sunday night some of them entered the home of B.P. Meigs, carried away Ben's pants and went through them, and not finding anything they desired, scattered the papers which were in his pocketbook, one of which was a draft for over seven hundred dollars, returned them and got nothing for their trouble.
