The picture of the dog preying on the window of the photo shop

Something new has developed in photography – taking other fellows.

A person with this type of kleptomaniac complex forced the lock on the storefront of FO Lindquist’s photo studio at 1715 Broadway street Friday night and removed all the pictures that were on display there.

“This is the first time in all my 30 years of experience as a photographer that this has happened to me,” Mr. Lindquist said, adding that he thought it was done for the value of the frames.

Five frames were in the window; one an 11 by 14 and the other 8 by 10 inch frames. Mr. Lindquist estimated the loss at about $20.

Parents looking for bus rides for students

Parents fearing for their children’s safety told Superior School District board members Monday that they plan to appeal a decision banning their children from riding the bus to school.

The district’s transportation policy states that children who live less than two miles from the school they attend are not eligible for school bus transportation unless there is evidence of unusual danger.
