Thieves Take $40 From
High School Office

The office of Dickinson Memo
rial High School was broken into
and rifled of $40 in cash and
some clothing worn by members
of the safety patrol on last Thurs
day night. Entrance was made
eviedntly through the windows. A
large rock had been thrown
through a window, which was
then opened by reaching through
the hole.
Principal Paul Skeen reported
the robbery as soon as he discov
cred it on Friday morning. Off

robbery but found no worthwhile
clues. Some money had been col
lected by the school on Thursday
and left in the office overnight.
Apparently, thief, or thieves,

Good Hunting Reported
On Top of Cumberlands

T. Curt Fleming, Little Rob-
ert" Baker, Henry Short and
Dave Crabtree went into the
Wilds of the Cumberlands Mon
day morning on a squirrel hunt.
Starting early, they reached Gras
sy Gap about seven o'clock. After
climbing the mountain, David
looked around, gave a huff, a
puff, and salty malediction.
Then he plodded back down the
mountain, with his double-bar-
relied Stevens shotgun at low
trail. He finally reached h e
road at the Adam Childress
place. One report has it that he
secured transportation at that
point. Another is that he hoofed
it on into ClintWood. At any rate.
they say he had blisters on his
feet as big as 'good-sized" quar-
tiers.
The other hunters, more perse
vering, found what they went af-
ter. Henry bagged four squirrels,
7. Curtis got three, and Little
Robert" got one. Greatly salts
fled, but somewhat wearied, they
came out of the mountain at the
old Mahlon Swindall place about
ten o'clock. There, they sank
down on the bare ground, the
grass, or leaves, and took some
sweet repose. They do not explain
how they hunted and then went
the long distance through h e
mountain from Grassy Gap to
Osborne Gap within a space of
three hours. Perhaps they had
magic carpet or something of the
kind. Neither do the Nimrods ex
plain how they avoided Otto Ken
drick, who takes a dim view of
hunting on national forest land,
However, we contradict no
huntsman's tales.
