office, Dick and Bob’s Domino
Parlor, Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co.,
George Tractor Co., Brady
Cooperative Poultry Associa-
tion and Wilson's Feed Mill.
The Farmers-Ranchers Co-op
was entered by breaking a win-
dow. The burglar knocked the
knob from the safe but failed to
iqxikU. He took approximately
$3 from a soft drink machine.
The front door of Dick and
Bob’s Domino Parlor was
kicked in and the building was
ransacked. Money was taken
from a soft drink machine. Of-
ficers found a footprint at the
scene, the only clue.
• • •
Entry was gained to the Pep-
si-Cola office by pulling off a
screen and breaking a window.
About $5 was taken from a
cash drawer. An unsuccessful
attempt was made to knock the
hinges from the safe.
The safe at George Tractor
Co., was not locked and the
culprit took about $3 from a
small compartment. The build-
ing was ransacked. Entry was
gained by breaking a window
glass on the north side.
At the Brady Poultry Co-op
entry was made by breaking
the glass in a north door and
reaching through to pull the
bolt. The knob was knocked off
a large safe but it was not op-
ened. A monrv drawer under
the counter yielded about $5 to
the burglar. The whole building
was ransacked ill an effort to
find money.
The burglars also hit Wil-
son’s Feed Mill though it was
not discovered till Monday. A
entry there.
Sheriff Luke Vogel said the
footprint found at two of the
places was the only clue. “I
think there was only one per-
son involved and that we will
have an arrest in a few days,”
he said.

Police Chief Dorman Gibhs
said the same thing had hap-
pened in Mason and Freder-
icksburg and that it led him to
believe it might have been
someone on the way to San
Antonip. But that it also look-
ed like the burglar knew where
to go and how to get in as
though he might have been in
the buildings before.
“The person lacked exper-
ience. He had probably heard
about the method of opening
safes hut didn’t know how to
upply it,” said Gibbs.
Gihhs and Vogel both agreed
that the damage to the pre-
mises was the biggest loss at
all places.
