BURGLARS AGAIN VISIT PARR

Depet, Stores and Postoffice Entered Wednesday Night. / Burglars again visited the town of Parr, 10 miles northwest of Rensselaer, late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning and broke into every business house in town, taking something from each place. The Monon station was broken into by kicking out the lower panel of a door. It is not known at this writing Just all that was taken from the depot, but among the goods stolen were several sticks of dynamise from a box which was broken open. Also som^-Jmerchandise. At the Thomas & Myres general store gutrance was gained by breaking the lock on the front door and «Tveral automobile tires, tubes, dry cigarets, etc., taken to the —value of between S2OO and S3OO. -Also about $5 in pennies were taken ■ tu ere. At the postoffice between $25 and S3O was stolen in stamps and money. * At the W. H. Myres poolroom cigarets, cigars, etc., were taken and here the thieves had helped themselves to all the ice cream and pop they wanted. It is believed that the robberies were all the work of Parr local talent, which has been blamed for several other robberies there during the past several years. Entrance was gained in each building by forcing the locks of the front doors, except in the depot entrance. No attempt was made to break open the safes in any of the places visited.
