Dallas Garage
Doors Entered,
Auto Prowlers
Dallas City police authorities
were at a loss Tuesday morning to
account for the rifling of at least
21 automobiles during the late hours
of Monday and possibly the early
hours of Tuesday morning.
Apparently little discrimination
was shown by the thieves for they
covered a considerable portion of
the southern part of the town. Lit
tle of value was reported to have
been Uken and the residents of the
700 block on Main appeared to be
the hardest hit by loss of three
traveling robes from their cars.
Other owners had evidently miss
ed nothing of value but stated that
cigarettes and gum were minus
quantities after the nocturnal visi
tation of the marauders.
Cars ransacked were mostly In
garages with both cars and gar
ages unlocked.

BY DARING THIEF
Monmouth A new sedan, the pro
perty of Leonard Comstock, was

The machine, or rather what was
left of It, was discovered early
Tuesday morning at the second
turn in the highway between Mon
mouth and Independence. The car
had been completely dismantled to
even the wheels. Finding the doors
locked, the thief gained entrance
through the unlocked trunk in the
rear.
No clue to the thief has been
found.
Clothes, estimated at $50. were
removed from the clothes line at
the F. E. Murdock home on Jack
son and Cattron streets the same
