Burglary at Bigelow and Smith Store Sparks Theft Probe
A bold Sunday night break in Ames shows entry by back windows and iron shutters at Bigelow and Smith. Robbers pried doors, took a few clothes hats and shirts, while a separate attempt at Martin’s hardware failed. Local fear of an organized gang grows as police identify a suspect and a second man released for lack of evidence. Biartow and Smith advertise sales and new pants arrivals at the Post Office headquarters.

Near Fatal Yard Accident Involving Ole Knutson
Almost fatal for Ole Knutson in the yards when a pick slipped as he moved a tie. The projecting point pierced his intestines and ruptured his bladder. He was taken home on a stretcher, Dr. Merryman treated him, and there is hope for recovery though long convalescence ahead. Knutson, about fifty, with a large family, has resided in town only recently.
