Burglars Injured

Some burglars out ‘in Spokane, Wash., were anxious to enter a {laundry, for nefarious purposes. {They broke through a window ‘and were apparently so badly cut that all they swiped was some {bandages from a first aid Kit.

{ Down in Texas, a burglar tried {some large-scale larceny in Hous {ton and this is what happened: he tried to open a cash register, but couldn’t; he tried to open a cigaret machine, but couldn't ihe tried to open a soft drink machine, but couldn't; he tried to drive away in a trailer truck, which jackknifed; he gave it up (as a bad night.
