Robber Enters Room of Mrs. Judd and Takes
Sum 01 Money From Trunk? Overlooked
$150? Thief Not Apprehended
A burglar broke into the room of
Mrs. Judd at the New Home hotel and
restaurant Saturday night and rifled
her trunk, securing, however, but $16
The robber has not been apprliended.
Mrs. Judd collected a considerable
sum of money Saturday in the day and
it is believed the robbery was probably
committed by someone who knew of that
fact.
The burglar did not do a very good
job in searching the trunk. In addition
to the purse, containing $16, which was
left near the top of ihe trunk and which
the thief secured, there was another
near the bottom of the trunk, which
contained $150. That was found by
Mrs. Judd after the robbery.
