The Thieving Problem
The seasonal time for garden har-
vests to turn up missing is at hand,
but there have been several cases
where thieving has gone farther than
that. On Thursday night, the first

was ransacked while the occupants
slept behind closed doors upstairs.
The person or persons, entered the
house by a kitchen window and after
making general havoc, departed TAX
ing only thirty cents in change, leav-
ing behind an array of muddy foot
tracks on the floors. Several auto
mobiles have been drained of gasoline
and one was stripped of all accessories
the same night the Keller home was
entered.
