CHEROKEE PHOENIX
Wednesday, June 25, 1828
Vol. I, No. 18
Page 2, col. 2b

 We understand that some person broke into the store of Mr. Elijah Hicks last night, and helped himself to a number of articles, such as pocket knives, shoes, boots, sugar, whiskey &c.  It appears that the thief became so intoxicated before leaving the store as to forget his own shoes.
