Burglar Alarm Brings Chase Through Town
A late Tuesday night burglary at Mr. Gould’s hardware store prompted a vigilant nightwatchman to pursue a masked thief across streets and alleys. The intruder fired five times but was wounded only by his own gunfire, escaping into a river area with gloves left behind. Local officials urge continued two-man watch to deter further break-ins and protect property.
