Robbers Again at Union
I'.urglars again visited the hustling
city of I'nion last week and seem to
think there is a crop of things to be
had for the mere coming and getting
t hem every few weeks. This time
they visited the store of A. L. Hecker
and (".ill Hull, the garage man. They
did not get away with very much,
but their continued breaking and en
tering is very exasperating.
The state department had some
bloodhounds here to see if they could
run down the thieves, but were not
able. Someone who probably thought
the dog of Mrs. Mabel K. Kevnolds
might be in the way of another rob
bery, shot ami killetl her dog, and
have removed from the city a good
dog and a friend of evervhodv in
town.

Caused from an exhaust of the gas
