Montrose – Three men were placed in charge of Sheriff G. M. Darrow on the charge of Vagrancy. The three men, however, are supposed to be more than mere hoboes, in fact one is believed to have served time in New York. The men are held under suspicion that they know a great deal about the cracking of a safe in the Wilmarth store at Thompson a few weeks ago, $800 in Liberty bonds being stolen. They were seen in that place the night of the burglary, and detectives are now at work endeavoring to substantiate their theories. ALSO The Montrose H. S. orchestra is making rapid progress.
