Helms' Store Broken Into, Jan. 22, 1923

Store on the Concord Road Is Broken Into

The country store of Mr. C.E. Helms, on the national highway between Salisbury and Concord, about three miles out from this city, was broken into some time last night and a quantity of goods carried off. Sheriff Krider’s office was notified early this morning of the robbery but there was no clue to work on and so far no arrests have been made in connection with the crime.

Mr. and Mrs. Helms live only a short distance from the store but they did not hear any noise and knew nothing of the affair until Mrs. Helms went to open the place this morning.
