Robberies of local business houses Sunday night and the taking of suit cases from the choir special train, were not tue vuiy ueeua of Lul iCut perpetrated, for houses were entered and robbed, and in two instances at least, of foodstuff. The home of Mrs. McWhlrter on Adams avenue was en tered and the Ice chest "frisked" of all the good things to eat. This leads to the conclusion that this robherv and others like it, were done by ho boes who were after food. Two dozen eggs, a whole cake and other food stuffs were removed from the Mc Whlrter ice box, and Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Berry also lost similar articles from their kitchen. No traces have been found of the burglars who entered the Mormon choir special train last night and stole several suit cases. The police are still working on the case, however, and it Is hoped that they will soon find the thieves. ' . . Dr. W. D. McMillan Painless Dentistry La Qrande National Bank Bidg.
