BRAYTON

The F. L. Freeman and Vernon
Ordway billiard parlors were both
broken into sometime around two
o'clock Sunday morning and a slot
machine taken from each place and
from the Ordway place about $11
in cash and some cigarettes. The
thieves gained entrance by prying
up a back window at each place,
going out by the back doors leaving
them open. It is thought to be the
work of some person or persons,
who were well acquainted with
both places.
