Burglars Also Damage Properties, Aug. 30, 1921

Benson Home Entered by Malicious Burglars

Benson, Aug. 26—Burglars of the particularly low-down stamp have been operating in this community the past couple of weeks. What they cannot get in valuables they take out in ?? of various kinds. Entering the residence of Rev. A.T. Lassiter while he was away on vacation, they stole a small collection of rare coins, which he prized very highly. Then, apparently chagrined at not finding more loot, the proceeded to give various rooms in the house a ??? , which they found in the pantry. Even the sanctity of the church is not safe from vandals, for the Methodist church was the next place entered apparently with the object of stealing the Sunday school collections. Failing to get anything they proceeded to turn thing upside down in a general way.
