CHICAGO. (/Ph-When Marian
Oschner, 16, a cashier at a stand
near the hippopotamus den at
Brookfield Zoo came to work Fri
day and rang up the “no sale”
button on the register, she scream
ed.
Some of the zoo attendants
looked to see if any of the "hip
pos” had escaped.
The cause for Miss Oschner’s
alarm, however, was her discov
ery of a maternal, gray mouse and
her five offspring in the cash box.
Director Robert Bean said he
didn’t believe field mice normally
sought out cash registers for con
finement.

northwest coastal Java between
Batavia and Cheribon, and indi

The Indonesian Republican

PORTLAND, Ore. (/P) — Police
Saturday blamed a slick, profes
sional ring of holdup men for the
$37,563 robbery of the Lipman

pers guessed what was going on.
Police said they believed it was
planned by the same gang that
robbed the Old & King depart
men store of $117,030 in checks and
$304 cash June 2.
The loot in Friday’s robbery
was $26,000 in checks and $11,563
in cash.
Three calm, well-dressed men
stepped into an empty elevator at
the store and at gunpoint ordered
Phyllis Smith, 24, elevator opera
tor, to take them to the ninth
floor.
There two ordered cashier Otto
Koenecke to lie on the floor and
scopped up cash and a money bag
deposit. The third covered Miss
Smith.
They had her take them to the
basement, then directed her to
“go back to the 9th floor and
keep quiet.” She said she saw
them separate and walk hurriedly
