Following the band concert in the high school auditorium last Thursday night, Prof. M.S. Beam deposited about $70 in a metal box, which was placed in the vault at the school for safekeeping. While the vault doors were not locked, the box was, the funds were added to some $30 or more of school funds.
The young rogues broke through a window, prized the box open, and have apparently made good their escape. While suspicion rests against certain parties, there is no definite clue as yet. This instance is but one of several, and it is thought that very soon the guilty parties will be apprehended.
