PETTY THIEVING AT MADI-
SON LAKE, REPORT

BY Young Ladies of
Village

MaQlSOn Lake, June Zo.-Ietly
thievery continues in Madison Lake
and apparently no effort to bring the
guilty parties to Justice is being
made. Tuesday evening Casper's pool
hall was entered again and a con-
siderable amount Of pop, cidar and
other soft drinks taken. A short time
ago this same place was entered and
about seventy dollars in cash taken.
Reinsberg's and Mape's stores were
also broken into short time ago and
a number of small articles taken.
Steps should be taken at once to
bring these parties to justice. as it
looks as though this will continue as
long as the guilty parties escape with
impunity.

igan, which occurred at her home
