The residence of Squire Randall, near Scio, was broken into on Sabbath of last week while the family were at church, and about $50 stolen. It is not probable that tramps had anything to do with it, in fact the thief must have been well acquainted with the premises, as he evidently went straight to work after getting into the house and forced open a drawer which contained the money and disturbed nothing else. We are not acquainted with the squire and do not know anything about the case, but we advise him not to go many miles from home in hunting for the thief.
