Someone attempted to break into S(tephen).
Gano's hardware store (Exira) Sunday night.
They attacked the front doors, and,
although they forced the doors suffi-
cient to get a board between the two
doors, they could not obtain enough
leverage to break the bolts and hinges.
The doors are extra heavy.
