Robbed Safe Lift In Ridgway Sparks Local Report
Thieves removed a weighty safe from a Ridgway club using casters between midnight and 2 a.m. Sunday, carrying about 1,000 dollars in cash and papers. Police traced incidents downtown, including a YMCA firecracker report, a street light dispute, and a minor collision at Corry Plaza. Real estate transfers in Erie County included three area deeds, and Ridgway Record raised home delivery price five cents due to higher production costs. A stray yearling dog was impounded, and Willard Dyckes was cited for speeding.
