Several Reports of Petit Larceny Have Been Made.

Several reports of petty stealing have recently been made. One day last week Alex. Hurley, whi lives on South Weston street, had a crosscut saw and a new axe stolen from his woodshed. He will appreciate having them returned when the person who took them gets through with them. A gold watch was recently stolen from the home of D. E. Grow. It belonged to Mrs. Grow and she had left it on a dresser in the house while* she left home for a short time. It was not an expensive watch but a good time keeper.

About the same time Mrs. Frank Leek had a small clock stolen. The clock was on the kitchen cabinet and Mrs. Leek stepped out of the house and over to the Presbyterian church. She Was gone only a short time and when she returned the clock was gone. It is said that other theft® have occurred and a general warning is issued to keep the doors locked.
