The general store of J. B. Van Petten and the drug store of Dr. Howard at Cropsey, were broken into by burglars last Thursday evening. The thieves got about $200 worth of plunder from Van Petten and $150 from Dr. Howard. The horse and buggy which they had stolen from Rev. Foreman, was found at the Fendrick corner, two miles south of Fairbury, the next day.
