Show Cursors Damage Safes Ai Union And Jr. High Burglars got an education-and nothing else-the hard way at Roosevelt Junior High School and Union High School over the weekend. week-end. Record-safes at each school were damaged but not entered by a hard-working crew or crews that would have gotten less than $10 if they had succeeded in both cases. But they did vent their feelings with a vengeance on the safe at Union, causing damage which may run as high as $1,000 to the door of the vault. At the Junior High, they succeeded in knocking off the knob and removing an iron strip but the concrete in which the safe was embedded stopped them there. Principal L. F. Hutchings at Union and Lawrell Jensen of the Junior High each said the safes are for record keeping only and nothing more than small change or petty cash is ever kept in them. Mr. Hutchings said the burglars entered by forcing a rear door and the office door. At junior high, they forced a gymnasium window and used a bar to open the office door. Sheriff Lorin Stevenson of Duchesne Du-chesne County and Herbert Snyder of Uintah County investigated the Union break-in. In Duchesne, a break-in was reported at Anna's Variety Store but the extent of the loss, if any, has not been determined. |
