Who Stole lgorThe Beast
JOHN C. BENTLEY.
In the stealthy darkness of last
Sunday evening, some foul fiend,
or fiends, kidnapped Igor Rogues-
pierre, prominent dog-about-town,
from his quaint kennel behind the
Beta house. John Anderson, Beta
president, announced the kidnap
ping early last Monday, and stated
that several clues were left lay
ing around. Police were notified
immediately, and a city and state
wide dog hunt got under way.
Investigation Going On.
Police Chief Jonathan Fladd-
foud after making a thorough in
vestigation revealed, that several
persons were under direct suspi
cion, and that these persons were
being watched day and night by
detectives. He also said, "From all
Indications, this looks like a pro
fessional job. Too many loose
clues were left laying around."
Beta pledges were set to work
cleaning up clues, and it is sus
pected that the kidnappers will
have a few clues to clean up them
selves.
The thieves that purloined Igor
evidently made their way up the
alley running directly behind the
Beta house, and under the cover
of dark spirited the savage beast
from his lair while he slept. From
the looks of things, it was evident
that Igor put up quite a struggle
before being overcome. However,
police were baffled by the com
plete lack of finger or foot prints.
Any Information leading to the
apprehension and arrest of the
foul perpetrators of this dastardly
crime will be amply rewarded.
Please report any suspicious per
sons or acts, or any further infor
mation that you might have to
