was held over the shoulder

@® Strange Series
(From page 1)
ered by force the intruders
broke a pane of glass, reach-
ed through and unlocked a
door to gain entrance. Iron-
ically, it was the only door
in the building which was
locked.
At SICO office, damage was
-partirularly high. Doors and
other locked compartments
were forced open and the
company safe was battered,
but not broken into. The com-
pany’s problem of gaining
eniry the next day created
more than a little dsfficulty,
as it did at Garber Oil com-
pany, where tear gas foiled
an attempt to break open the
safe.
Where the series started is
problematical. However, it is
theorized that the Garber
try may have been the last
attempt on the list.
Employees at the Garber
offive who were expostd to
some of the gas feel that af-
ter a dose of the irritating
stuff it probably would have
been a good thing to get some
fresh air and go home to bed.
Largest amounts of cash
were taken at the John Crid-
er service station and at the
W. I. Beahm junior high
school. Slightly more than
$30 was taken at both places.
