Robbers Enter The Lovilia Home In Quiet Weekend Burglary
John Dameshock woke to a thief who wrapped a blanket over his head and searched his Lovilia dwelling. The invader escaped with 5.80 dollars. The robbery occurred about 32:00 Saturday night as the house remained unlocked and entry was through the regular manner. A back street car sighting near Eddyville raised suspicions, while a Palmer tractor near the field had its oil drained, suggesting the Palmer Brothers aided in the theft. Authorities were still withholding reports on the stolen property.
