DOUBLE BREAK IN BRISTOL
BY AMATEUR BURGLARS
Stokes Garage and Dixie Hardware
Store Lose Cash, Liberty Bonds
and a Dozen Jacknives

The first robbery in Bristol in many
years was made Monday night when
amateur thieves broke into the W. H
Stokes garage and the Ezra c, Dixie
hardware store, taking $40 in change
from a cash register in the former and
$500 in Liberty Bonds and a dozen poe
ket knives in the latter Sheriff George
Farr has no clues of the burglars, but
says that he is convinced that the dou-
bic break was the work of local parties.
The entrance to the garage was eff
fected by prying open the north side
window in the workshop, apparently
with a tire wedge. The Office door
lock was opened from the inside after
the glass had been broken, The cash
register was emptied of the S340 in
change but curiously enough, the
thieves overlooked another ca h
drawer which contained considerably
more currency. No accessories Of any
kind were taken.
The hardware store was entered
through a rear window, by the simple
lifting of the unlocked sash. The safe
which cannot be locked, was ransacked
in the quest for money, and five bonds
taken one of 500, the Others of $50
denominations. A sixth bond was ig-
nored, although the envelope in which
it was contained was torn open The
robbers then chose dozen Boy Scout
pocket knives, reaching through the
showcase over better varieties of knives
for them. There are two cash tills in
the counter of the store, one Of which
was opened but found empty, while as
in the garage Office, a second drawer
with considerable money was unno-
ticed
Sheriff Farr said that he did not
think the breaks were made by other
than local parties for the reason that
they had been so stupidity done. A
professional gang would have made off
with some of the valuable accessories
in the garage or things of worth in the
hardware store, he said He added
that he thought it the work of kids,
He has the numbers of the Liberty
Bonds and has notified the banks OF
the state to be on the lookout for
these numbers on the bonds that they
take
Like MANY other towns of its size,
Bristol has no police protection during
the night, but has been free from burg
lares for "a good many years, said
the sheriff in a futile attempt to re-
call the date of the last such break.
