A large part of the merchandise stolen from the store of Scarbrough & Hicks Co., last Thursday morning, and told of in last week’s Reporter, was recovered Saturday. Small boys poking around in the city dump pile north of town discovered the goods stuffed in potato sacks and concealed under the mass of old tine and refuse. The goods were brought back to the store and found not to be damaged except for wrinkling of the silk dresses. A more careful check of the stock developed the fact that approximately %2,500 worth of goods were stolen, and the greater part of same were recovered. The articles recovered included about 70 ladies’ silk dresses. To date no arrests have been made, although several clues are being traced out.
