MT. LAKE PARK
Burglars Persistent


Those birds who twice in as many
weeks burglarized Braethorn certainly
evidenced their utter disregard for
publicity and contempt for constituted
authority. The second entry into Mrs.
Campbells hotel occurred on Sunday
night, approximately two weeks after
the first, when they stole quantity Of
silverware, as we are advised. It is
the opinion of the authorities that two
separate gangs engineered the two
burglaries, as the modes of entry were
different.
But absentee owners may rest as
sured that the Mayor and Council are
alive to THE situation and are conduct
ing Investigations which ought to pro-
duce favorable results. A definite clue
has been uncovered, which is being fol-
lowed with all diligence, and it is be-
lieved that the guilty parties VIII soon
be apprehended.
AS we have stated several times,
the situation surrounding the Park
offers untold opportunities for depre-
dations of this kind, but the commits
confined to any community. In a near
by town twenty-five burglaries were
committed in an eight-months period,
and it was only within the past two
weeks that the guilty parties were ap-
pretended, and they are now in Jail,
headed for long stretch in limbo.
We are advised that two attempts
were made to enter the recently-va-
Gated Conner property within the past
week, but on both occasions the would
be thieves were frightened away.

Last winter, or even the winter be-
fore, there might have been some
slight excuse for those who stole to
this winter there is positively no ex-
cuse. Through the Welfare Boards Of
the several counties and States pro-
vision has been made so that no one
need go hungry. A mans calling or
profession is no bar, if in need. The
family of a preacher, the doctor, the
lawyer, the laborer and the bootlegger
are under no necessity to lack for SUBJ
sistence. The Welfare Board Of this
county is composed of men of the very
highest type. The executive secretary
is woman of understanding and abil-
ity; the office force is energetic and
trustworthy, and the field workers are
honestly endeavoring to eliminate ac-
tual suffering and want. If worthy,
all anyone needs is to apply and they
will be taken care of.
