and the staples that hold the lock were
well fastened on the inside. Never

twice and several gallons of gaSolene
stolen. The first time was four or
five weeks ago and we think that about
five gallons was taken. The second
time was on Wednesday evening, June
80, when we lost probably twelve to
fifteen gallons. the door has been well
repaired again and we hope nobody will
hesitate to call us up by telephone

price of large quantity of gasolene for
information that will lead to the con-
viction of the person who broke open
our shed.
