Two youths of above Dilley, one
mimmI 17 and the other 20, broke
into the Briggs store, at Dilley,
m week ago Saturday night.
The lads put rocks in a pair of
overalln, tied up the package,
and then threw them into the
upper story window, breaking
the gluss. A ladder was then
placed against the building for
entry, 1'hey stole 1400 rounds
of 22-caiibre revolver cartridges,
and KM) rounds of mixed 22's; a
Hhotgun; fi boxes of shotgun
sheila; some pipes and tobacco,
and Home ixicket knives and oth
er small merchandise. They
then cached the plunder in bcv
eral places. SherilT Applegate
atarled search and one of his
deputies found enough to point
to the two lads, who later ad
mitted the theft. The goods
were taken bark to Hriggs, and
it is understood that prosecution
will not follow, as the boys will
enlist in either the army or
nuvy.
Fifteen hundred rounds of
small cartridges would make a
great deal of noise and it looks
as though the young fellows
wanted to start a noise to rival
the Kuroiwan War.

i3 available, until after the peo
ple have spoken for or against
the stats bond issue. There are
ten thousand for the Beaverton
Portland end, via Bertha; ten
thousand for the Rex-Tigard.
and ten thousand for the Forest
Grove-Gaston end of the big
main artery through the county.
The five thousand appropriated
for the Forest Grove-Greenville
road does not come under the
cloture, and this will be used
when conditions are right
