Look Out for Rogues

Marietta Intelligencer, September 5, 1839

Our town is infested with a gang of thieves who go about seeking what they may lay their hands on and put their feet in.

On Thursday night last, the cellar of Slocomb & Buck's Boot & Shoe Store was broken open and two pair, with six left foot boots were taken. The rascals were probably frightened and decamped before they could select mates for the odd boots. The property was found the next day under a bridge between Messrs. Hall's and Brophy's.

Numerous articles of clothing &c. have been taken from dwelling houses in different parts of the town.
