Arthur Miller, 1 fl-y ear-old gram
mar school student, was held up at
8:45 on Fifth street near the Ha mum
apartment bouse by two young and
woll dressed men. one of whom, ac
cording to Miller, slapped his face for
having no money. Tho youth Huld he
was followed by the men for a short
distance before they hailed him to
search his pockets. He attempted to
obtain a description but because of
the darkness was unablo to do so.
Not waiting to notify the police

parents.
Lamport's Sporting floods store,
Xilttrell-Jennlngs Parts company and
tho Medfoi'd Auto Wrecking company

were tampered with.
By breaking the lock off the rear
floor of the Jamport establishment
and sliding a wooden bar painstak

entered the storeroom. The drawer
of one cash register was left open
while the other was shut but not
locked. Noticing keys, it Is pre
sumed, the burglars inserted them In
the lock and stead of opening same
locked it. No money was taken and
nothing was disturbed.
A pass key allowed entrance Into
the accessory store, according to IS. A.
l-lltrell. who states that a pair of
shears were then used in a vain
attempt to Jlmmfe tho cash register
.while the keys were lying on top.
He believes the burg Mrs had little or
no knowledge of their profession.
There was no loss.
A back door was broken down to
enter the wrecking house nnd exit
was made through tho front doors,
which were found open this morning.
During thi Interim of entrnnce and

Desplto the fact (hat the lights
were burning In Lamport's, the bur
glars plied their trado there appar

It Is a roquest of tho police that nil
business establishments keep a light
burning through the night near the
entrance and likewise local residents
ore advised to keep lights burning on
front nnd rear porches.
