Laurent, was broken into last night.
Nothing was taken by the intruder, so
far as could be discovered. Entrance
was made thru the basement and an
exit thru the front door, which the Wis

to open the cash register. The person
may have been frightened away by
the night Waterman, who turned in an
alarm on discovering that the store
had been entered. Deputy Sheriff
Holman came over and made an in
vestigation which will probably lead
to arrests. u 4x
Claude Frain, city passenger agent
