Stores Robbed Of Cash, Candy

Two local stores were burglarized last Friday night, February 8, at about midnight, with a small amount of cash and a box of candy being stolen by the thieves.

Entrance was gained into the A&P Store on Main street by going into the store's cellar and removing some floor boards. The loot there consisted of $10.70 and a box of candy. The loss was discovered by manager of the store Don St. John when he arrived for work on Saturday morning.

Woodhall's Store, also on Main street, was entered by breaking a window back of the store. After taking 31 one dollar bills, the intruders left by the front door.

In custody are a teenage Bellwood boy, who was apprehended in Altoona on Sunday by Chief of Police M T. Epler and is now being held in the detention home in Altoona pending decision in his case.

Also in custody is the boy's uncle, George Russel, 24, of 865 23rd street, Altoona. who is suspected of being an accomplice in the robberies.

He was taken into custody at his home by Chief Epler, and after a hearing before Squire Edgar McKinney, committed to jail in default of bond. Altoona police stated that Russell is a previous offender and has a police record.

The young boy, who claimed he received only $1.70 of the loot, will have judgement passed on him on Friday. Russell will be held for the next term of court.
