Last Sunday night Cragun Brothers' store of Pleasant View was burglarized and a horse and buggy of Lawrence Brown was stolen from tho church premises a short distance from the store, since which time officers have been seeking clues as to who committed com-mitted tho burglary, and the Industrial Indus-trial school officers have been looking look-ing for Reid and tho two girls. It has been the opinion of the officers of-ficers that the escaped Inmates of. the school stole the horse and buggy and also burglarized tho store. Their suspicions have been strengthened by tho fact that Reid had a horse and huggy in his possession when he was arrested at Garfield. It is said that the description of the outfit is much tbesame as that of the horse aud buggy belonging to Brown of Pleasant Pleas-ant View. I Chief Deputy Sheriff J. L.
