Burglars At Ridgeway


Some time during the dark hours
Of last Saturday night or early
hours of Sunday morning some Of
our business men were unknowlingly
visited by burglars breaking doors
and windows and entering their
places of business. At Baker-John-
sons general store they entered in
the rear cellar window and to the
interior main floor by an inside stair
way, but from the appearances the
only object they were seeking was
money. Some where near $500 in
small change that was left in the
cash register was taken. They also
entered Hospadarsky's Meat Shop,
securing $500 in pennies. Attempts
were made to break in the Hattie
stad restaurant but without results.
Efforts were made to capture them
by securing blood hounds from Gel
vein who arrived here at $3.50. The
hounds traced them to the second
railroad crossing east of town where
they lost the trail. 1t appears they
left town by auto or train. As yet
no trace of the burglars have been
found.
