Lawn Hill Coop Robbery Second in Three Months
The Lawn Hill Cooperative Company reports a second robbery in three months. At about 6:00 a.m. Friday managers Clarence and Mrs. Reece found the office safe moved to the same spot as the May 10 theft, entry via a window, and a crow bar used. About $500 was stolen, a quarter of the May 10 haul. Police and Hardin County sheriff's officers are investigating, with suspects believed to be familiar with local happenings. A theory ties the loss to funds once stored by Robert Cowell, recently released from University hospital, though none of the Thursday money belonged to him.
