Burglarize Greeson Grocery and Civil Notes
A Sunday night break in at Greeson Grocery saw the cash register rifled of small change and a large quantity of goods taken. The intruder entered via the cellar door and bungled the register, offering no clues to the culprit. The piece also reports a Mothers' Club meeting to be held Wednesday at Mrs N McCabe’s on West Fifth Street and recounts Coyotes chased by C H Walters and his brother Fred using an automobile, ultimately abandoning the chase at a plowed field bounded by a wire fence. In Washington, a Senate vote 56 to 10 produced a compromise amendment to a railroad bill to regulate long and short haul charges, sparking speculation that the Supreme Court may later arbitrate the issue.
