The Montgomery Advertiser November 16, 1878
On last Monday night a forceable entry was made by unknown persons, into two of 
the family grocery houses in our town, that of Colwell & Rieke, and that W. W. 
Dobson. The burglars first broke into Wilson A. Taylor's blacksmith shop, where 
they procured the tools, a brace and bit, and a chisel. With the brace and bit 
they bored into the house of Colwell & Rieke first, it is thought, from which 
were taken various articles, but no money, there being none in the drawer. They 
then bored into the house of Mr. Dobson, where they procured a good many 
articles, among them a good saddle, but no money, although they bored into the 
drawer, ana opened it in search of money, but again they were disappointed, Mr. 
Dobson having removed it all before leaving his house.
