Thieves late Sunday night or early
Monday morning broke into the
Presbyterian and First Methodist
churches, but secured practically

done by the same parties.
In breaking into the Methodist
church the thieves tore the case

were unable to effect an entrance
there so they turned their attention
to a window and gained admittance.
The marauders damaged the case

interior of the church, but failed to

they used the vestments which they
found in the choir for bedding Iur-
