Tuesday night, she had crpssed the street to visit at a neighbor's home around 6:30 . p.m. She was _ ^scorted home at.10 n,m. by the *^ieighbor's son. Entering her living room, she noticed the room seemed drafty arid cold. Upon investigation, she was horrified to discover her"* back door ajar and could see the lock had been forced open. Mrs. Rognstad found that a - small chest in her bedroopi had been searched but a valuable gold watch, a 'keepsake from her late Jfiusband, and some jewelry had ™iot b£en taken. A second cheSt next to the living room entry way had also been torn apart. Her purse with 22 dollars in it was the object of the robber's search. v The purse, containing two tens and two singles, had been robbed of one ten and one single! Why1 didn't the culprit or culprits take it 4ll? Robert Smith, police commisfioner, answered the summons, lis' Investigation pointed to \he fact that the robbers must have been familiar with the village and its inhabitants. " A next door neighbor said he saw lights in the house around 8 p.m. but thought-that Mrs. Rognstad had returned home. Evidently the crime was perpetrated at that time. Mr. Smith said the burglary is punishable by a prison term sjnce it involved forced entry. The investigation is being continued and several leads are being checked. It is our sincere hope that the guilty party or parties will be apprehended quickly and brought to justice! blessed by the arrival of a son, 8 pounds, on Monday, March 4, in Chicago.
