HELPTHEMSELVES 1 I Like Foolish Virgins Whose Oil Gave Out, Joy Riders Run Short OF THE GASOLINE Break Into S. E. Hite Tank House and Help Selves to Twenty Gallons. Like the foolish virgins bidden to the wedding feast who neglected to take enough oil with them for their lamps, some parties, presumably Intox icated automobile parties were left without sufficient gasoline during their early morning joy ride one o'clock Sunday morning. Instead of begging, as did the foolish virgins from the wise virgins, they decided to help themselves and made for tlie red gasoline tank that sits on tlie sidewalk in tront of the R. E. Hite grocery on Winchester street. There they found sufficient for present and future needs, for they drew eff about twenty gallons of the motor-life-giving fluid. To get to tlie inside tank, they found it necessary to tear off the two doors of the red tank-house which they threw on the sidewalk un ceremoniously. In transferring the gasoline from the tank to the objective point, a five gallon can sitting inside the tank house was used. This Was left on the sidewalk after using. Neighbors heard the noise made by the parties, but not realizing what it was, and thinking very little of it, they failed to investigate.
