Thieves Hit Twice
In FriendSville

The county sheriff's office and
state police are continuing their
investigation of two breaking and
entering events, according to
James E. Frantz, sheriff, who re-
vealed that the culprits did not
make way with much loot.
The two places victimized were
in Friendsville, one of them being
the one that was broken into a
couple of years ago when cash
and bonds were stolen.
The robberles occurred early
Friday morning and each was dis
covered when employees reported to
work. Entered we're the Friends
vile Milling company and the Fox
hardware.
Employees at the milling COM
pany said an inventory revealed
that a ham and two frozen chick
ems were missing from deep
freeze unit. Entry was made
through a basement window, and
they apparently left by the front
door.
The Fox hardware was entered
by forcing the back door. Nothing
was reported missing here.
The Fox store was robbed OF
some $12,5OO in cash and an esti-
mated S25 900 in non-negotiable
bonds in the previous entry. This
robbery was solved with the ar
rest of a Friendsville man and d
Baltimorean who was picked up in
Tennessee. Each was found guilty
of larceny and sentenced to prison
terms. The Friendsville man has
since been released.

Tally Hol
Believe 1t or Not

Jerry Paugh, of Deer Park,
stopped by the Court House last
Tuesday to get his bounty for
fox he brought in. That in itself
isn't too unusual. But the way he
got the fox is.
Mr.. Paugh was walking through
a hay field when all of a sudden a
half grown red fox darted out in
front of him. Since Mr.. Paugh
didn't have a rifle with him, he
started running after it. After vi
vacious chase, he managed to get
the fox with his foot. This is one
time man out-foxed the fox.
