Levelland Fire Depart-
ment officials were called
on this weekend concem-
ng two small fires--one in
a camper trailer and the
other in a truck.
At 8:10 p.m. Friday, a
call was dispatched to the

sponded to the fire and it
took the four fire fighters
18'minutes to extinguish
the blaze.
Saturday night fire

scene of a truck fire. The
truck, owned by Doug
Blair, was parked two
miles east of Cactus
Drive. The blaze took fire
fighters 45 minutes to
extinguishTThe fire start-
ed under the hood of the
truck and was caused by
an electrical short.
ment that the burglary
must have occurred be-
tween 6 p.m. Friday and
11:15 a.m. Saturday. Bur-
glars entered the home
through the south window
on the west side of the
home, which cannot be
observed by other neigh-
bors.
The home was ran-
sacked and contents of
closets, cabinets and
drawers were thrown onto
the floor.
Taken were two Nikon
35 mm cameras worth
$250 each, two Pentax 35
mm cameras--one worth
$150 and one with a
telephoto lens worth $250,
a tripod valued at $150, a
Polaroid One Step cam-
era, an Argus camera, two
gold necklaces worth $150
and $165, and an Adrin
high school class ring.
Jerry Whitfield. told
officials that his air condi-
tioner which was hooked
up to his home was loaded
up sometime between
noon and 4 p.m. Friday.
The Champion evapor-
ative cooler worth $250
was on a stand on the
north side of the trailer
house which is locate;!
about half a mile east of
Ellis Street and Veretto
Road.
Ten windows on
Massey Ferguson com-
bine and a windshield to
an International truck
were broken out between
April 19 and Sunday in an
act of criminal mischief.
The equipment is owned
by Gene Grant.
The damage was done
either by a pellet gun or a
BB gun, according to dep-
uties, who theorize the
mischief may be the work
of juveniles because of the
size footprints which were
found around the scene.
