Robs 2 Stores
B. MARKS,
ROSE’S
ENTERED
Photos of fingerprints found in
the B. Marks Store and Roses 5
& 10 after they were entered Fri
day night had not been received
today by local police, hut they are
convinced the same persons broke
in both stores.
The B. Marks store was entered
first and on leaving the thieves
took with them a screwdriver be
longing to the store. This same
screwdriver was found in Roses.
Whether the same ones stole the
automobile of Dr. Bahnson Weath
ers is not known, but the car was
found Saturday at Enfield.
Jim Dorsey, fingerprint expert
from the State Prison, was sent
for by city authorities. He was
able to get some fairly good prints
at the Marks store, but was not so
fortunate at Roses where finger
prints had been obliterated by
those opening the battered safe.
The thieves entered the B
Marks store thru a second story
window and ransacked the store.
About ten dollars in change was
taken from a cash register, a gold
fountain pen, a gold watch and
some ear rings. It is possible a
small amount of mrechandise was
taken but what they were really
after was money.
They searched a desk, throwing
papers about, and tried on various
garments from the racks, mostly
sweaters and overcoats.
Rose’s was also entered by a
rear second story window, where
thin bars were bent aside. The
safe was badly battered but the
thieves failed to get (into it.

• Strange as it may seem,
your own children and your

When a child eats too large

Too little vitamin C, and other
