Some cOWardlV SneakS 90

Ooine CoWdTuly SnedkS got into the
bowling building OF Jacob Lutz'
Monday morning, during the hours Of
three to five O'Clock, and started to
hack up the alleys with sharp
pointed instrument. They evidently
were frightened from their destruc-
tive work soon after entering because
only five chips were raised, three on
one alley and two on the other, all
near the foul lines. Entrance was
gained by prying open the rear door
which leads from between the saloon
and bowling building. Patrolman
Hewlett was in the saloon building
about 4 a. m. to stoke up the furnace,
and although he saw nothing of the
intruderS, it was doubtless he who
saved the alley from being completely
ripped to pieces. Mr.. Lutz has had
the damage repaired, also has had the
alleys scraped and smoothed up full
length. Bowling thereon will be re-
Sumed tomorrow morning.
