| THIEVES VISIT HAIGLER FRIDAY NIGHT
Thieves made a visit to Haigler and several other towns last Friday night. There first visit is reported at Benkelman where they broke into the Barger Hardware and secured some money. They came on to Haigler and got into the Gies Filling Station by going thru a small window in the men’s rest room. They secured $34.80 from the cash register. They did not take the checks, and overlooked a ten dollar bill which was between the checks. Then they went to the McKay Garage and got in thru the window in the door. They got no money from the cash register and tried to open the safe, jammed it up some, but were unable to open it. Their next stop was at a Laird hardware store and from there to Wray where they entered Butler's Liquor store and took about thirty dollars worth of liquor, besides some change in the drawer. Lastly they broke into a filling station at Wray, filled up with gas, cut the hose, and left for parts unknown. On. Monday night, Wm. Enfield, who had gone out in the yard at the light plant, saw a man lurking about McKay’s garage, about 11 o’clock, and called Mr. McKay who went to investigate. There was no one to be seen, but Mr. McKay tried the door and said that when he got home he noticed that his hands were blue, and apparently someone had turned the knob.
