Burglars Hit
Two Nyssa Homes
During Weekend
Burglars hit two Nyssa homes
during the past weekend. The
Fred Bennett home ut 114 North
Fourth and the Vincent Skubul
residence near the end of Eust
Main were forcibly entered
Police Chief Francis Petrie said
the Bennett home was entered
Saturday night between the hours
of 9 and 11 by forcing a window
on the north side of the house,
partially screened by shrubliery.
The next door neighbors, Hay
Hoffmans, were absent from home
during the period and the Ben­
netts were working ut the Twi-
light cafe.
Petrie said both the front and
rear doors were unlocked, making
It appear the work of an umuteur.
Mis Bennett lost $32 in currency
und silver and some costume
jewelry. One purse was taken
und another, containing part of
the money, was left in the house.
The Skubul dwelling was brok-
en into some time Sunday night
und since the owners were out of
town, it was not until Monday
morning that the burglary was
discovered by Mrs James Skubai,
a daughter-in-law. Police report-
ed entry was gained by breaking
a glass in a rear door.
The house had been ransacked
but as near as the daughter-in­
law could tell there were no valu­
ables missing A complete check
will have to awuit the return of
the owners.
Petrie said he felt there was no
connection in the two burglaries
and that leads on both were being
checked out.
