One boy got mto the palace gr

year-old girl, wearing a top hat and a
white shirt with Beatle slogans on it,
reached the top of thel5-foot.high gates
and defied the attempts of police to coax
her down. A police inspector finally cl
imbed up and got her.
The occasion was the queen's aw

Tons of Feed Stolen From Coats Milling Co.
Coats Firm Hit By Theft
Harnett authorities today were
investigating the bold front-door
night-time theft of two or more
ons of hog feed from the Coats
Milling Company at Coats. S
Sheriff Wade Stewart said to
day that the exact amount of the
loss has not been determined, but I
added, ‘‘They got a lot of it — j
about two or three tons or more.”
The break-in was discovered Tu
esday morning by Paul Pollard,
owner of the Purina mill. He said
he left his plant, located on busy
Highway 55 just south of Coats, a
bout 11 P- m.
Thieves didn’t bother to go to the
back. They just backed a truck up
to the front door, broke the lock
on the door and loaded up.
‘‘They probably figured it would
be less suspicious if they loaded
the feed just like they were sup
posed to be doing it and they got
away with it,” said the Sheriff.
Tourists along the highway no
doubt thought it was the work of
employees.
Sheriff Stewart said Pollard told
him most of the stolen feed con
sisted of hog supplement and oth
er high-priced feeds.
Only a small amount of change
had been left in the office cash
box.
