BULLET
Fired Through Glass Door Narrowly Misses Kroger Store Manager
Bernard Rolfes, who recently became manager of the downtown Kroger grocery, located on the west side of Main Street between Fifth and Sixth streets, narrowly escaped death Monday night by a bullet from a revolver fired by some person through the glass of the door opening into the passageway on the south side of the building.The bullet missed Mr. Rolfes only a few inches, splintered the upper edge of a shelf and struck the brick wall back of the shelving. The shot was fired about 8:30 o'clock, while he was alone in the store.
Whether the dastardly act was committed by an enemy of the new manager or for robbery or some other purpose of course is unknown, for although the officers were immediately summoned, the miscreant had made a safe getaway.
Tuesday, an officer of the company and a detective were here investigating but found no clue to the identity of the person who fired the shot.
Anti-Spitting Campaign
During the first week in May, the Franklin County Tuberculosis Association will conduct the annual Anti-Spitting campaign. The object of this work is to show how much disease is spread by this unsanitary and very offensive habit.
