Just because it was the holiday season, it would appear not everyone was in the spirit of giving -- but some in the spirit of taking. The following was found in the local newspaper for the end of the year, 1913:
Store Robbed of Small Amount~~Nightwatchman Albright tried the door of the post office and of J. Ashley Cooper's store on his usual rounds Friday night and found them securely locked. About two o'clock, as he came down Grand River street, he saw a small man start on a run from the post office. He called to him and started to run, but the other man could run three rods to his one. He went to the office and found both the post office and store doors unlocked. Mr. Cooper was called and they looked over the office and store and found nothing missing, locked up the doors again.
Saturday morning, it was discovered that the cash register in the store had been robbed of about $1.50 in nickels and pennies.
