Police Probe B E Reports In Bluefield Parking Lot Break In

Police are investigating a breaking and entering of a car owned by U S Marine Recruiters in a top floor Bluefield parking building on Princeton Avenue. The trunk lid was pried and a front door glass broken. Detective Patrolman G R Dishner leads the probe. A separate break in at 1111 Ridge Street occurred Wednesday night with few details. Additionally the Mercer County Commission was urged to fund Windy Mountain Learning Center, which is city owned, contrary to a Thursday Daily Telegraph report. A West Virginia Water Company spokesman corrected a Hartwell meeting notice to reflect McDowell County Water Company customers, not the state company.
