STORE is BURGLARIZED.

A burglary was reported on the
streets of Meridian Wednesday MORN
ing. When the employees Of Champ
lin & Tolleth went to the store early
in the morning, it was found that the
door was ajar. The safe in the rear
of the room was open and the cash
drawer showed signs of having been
tampered with. Investigation showed
that only $500 in silver, the amount
left in the till, was taken by the
thieves. The safe contained valu-
able papers, but these were untouched

lookout for money. The robbers op-
ened the safe without effort. Entrance
