Yeggs Fail in Attempt To Cut Open Two Safes
Burglars in Amarillo last night failed to open two safes at the Klock Construction office, stealing two goldfish instead of money. The second safe yielded only a radio and a bowl with water and two goldfish as investigators traced footprints through fresh snow. Police described heavy tools used but the safes remained locked, with bonds and savings certificates totaling about seven thousand dollars in each strong box. The owner Mary Helen Heath identified the fish.
