KurZ Market
Broken Into

The John Kurz meat market on
Main street was broken into at an
early hour Sunday morning and 4
quantity of bologna and other meats
stolen. The thieves had expected to
find considerable money in either the
safe or cash register. it is thought,
because of the usual Saturday night
business and inability of the owner
rifled and quantity of pennies and
other small change taken from the
register which had been left open.
The safe door was closed but un-
locked and the midnight prowler had
tampered with the safe just enough
to put the lock in action and defeat
his search OF the interior. Entrance
to the market was gained by breaking
a rear window.
Early Sunday morning Dad" Shores
had a rough looking individual for
breakfast who settled with pennies
and II is naturally concluded that this
was the man or one of the men who
perpetrated the theft. Mr.. Kurz is
unable to determine the exact amour.
of goods stolen. but states that his
loss does not exceed a few dollars.
Officers were notified of the theft
and are on the watch for the guilty
parties.
