PAGE 2 THE AAUNCIE EVENING PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1981 1 'Catching' burglar is painful for him In the Press of things By DICK STODCHILL Police Department's tip of the day Beware of persons who offer "free inspections" furnaces, chimneys, roofs and trees. Many are subject to rip-offs. Free inspections can cost you money. Better to do business with a reputable dealer. Burlington, between 8 a.m.

and 4:30 p.m. Monday. Mrs. Schull said she noticed some-, one had forced open the front door, damaging the molding and windows. She said the burglars ransacked every room, making off with cash, a fur coat, cassette tapes, jewelry and pictures.

City police also arrested two Muncie men Tuesday afternoon and also discovered one of the subjects was wanted on a felony warrant. Taken to Delaware County Jail on charges of criminal conversion were William Bruce Smith, -21, 1817 E. First, and Larry J. Hart, 26, 822 S. Madison.

Hart is being held on $2,000 bond and Smith without bond. Patrolmen Mike Terrell and Daniel Hahn said the manager and an employee at Osco Drugs in the Muncie Mall told them they observed the two men remove price tags from two bottles of liquor and attempt to conceal them. When the two subjects became aware they were being watched, they reportedly set the bottles down and left the store. The men were followed from the store and police were called. Terrell and Hahn arrived in time to see two men, matching the suspects' description, leave the parking lot in a car.

The suspects were apprehended at the A Restaurant on McGalliard and returned to the drug store where they were identified. After the two were taken to the jail, it was learned Smith was already sought on two warrants, one for failure to pay fines and a felony warrant for possession of a controlled substance.

A Muncie man unexpectedly came upon two burglars shortly after midnight and was slugged when he caught up with one of them. And in the county, Patrolman Randy Schlegel surprised three would-be burglars in a house Tuesday. City police said Danny Johnson, 310 X. Monroe, suffered minor injuries when he was assaulted bywne of two suspects who allegedly had broken into a garage at the victim's address. Johnson said he and a Mr.

Sailor were inside the house when they heard their dog barking outside about 12:23 a.m. The two men went outside and saw two persons, one in the garage and the other inside a pick-up truck. Johnson said he chased one of the suspects down an alley. He said he was struck by his assailant, who escaped down the alley. was taken from the truck or garage, according to the police report, but Johnson said it was the third time someone has tried to get into either the garage or truck.

Schlegel said he was on routine patrol in Daleville when he saw three juveniles enter a vacant home at 502 X. Walnut at 6:02 p.m. He said the three boys, ages 11. through 13, entered the house through an unlocked cellar door. Schlegel said he caught the three boys in the cellar.

Charges were not filed against the juveniles, pending further investigation. The youths were released to their parents. City police also reported burglars made off with approximately SC.ouO cash and property from the Lvnn Schull residence, 2317 Burlington, between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday.

Alexander contended, however, that the railroad should have warned trains to slow down at the crossing because of the presence of boxcars that could block the view of motorists. McGlone noted, however, that. the speed limit for trains there is 60 mph, and asked the jury "Did you ever get picked up for going 35 mph in a 60-mph zone?"

to the clubhouse after every game, the readers would be spared a lot of banalities." In other words, spare us those deadly quotes tliat dominate sport stories today. Two of the best sports stories I have read recentlywere by a writer I don't know, Chuck Godby. He described the games in the Fort Wayne Semi-state in a way that made it possible to visualize what happened moment-by-moment. Only two short quutes were included along with an interesting chant that went up from the Warsaw cheerblock. Red Smith had a few other observations on GO Minutes.

Asked about Howard Cosell, he said: "Howard doesn't broadcast sports, he broadcasts Cosell." Regarding Dustman, Kea said: "Ninety feet between bases is the closest to perfection that man has achieved." But basketball was quickly dismissed. All Red had to say was, "Basketball has always bored me." It was an exciting weekend for Daisy the hamster. As a result, it also was a busier one than I anticipated. Like most of her kind, Daisy loves to spend every night going around and around on her wheel. hy they do that is just one of many things I've never been able to figure out.

Maybe it's just for exercise but it seems to me they have more than that in mind because they keep at it hour after hour. Daisy's wheel broke Friday night and it must have been very upsetting There was just enough' room left when it toppled for her to squeeze bv and go back to her nest. We bought a new wheel for her Saturday but while I was putting it place, her whole setup fell over. Now that really was upsetting, not only to Daisy but to me. Daisy ran for cover, I yelied for help.

Then, wnen everything Imally was in place, I didn't get one connection sealed. When we went in to start grading 629 contest entry blanks at 10:30 Saturday night, no Daisv. I envisioned an all-night search 'but when we opened a closet door a few feet away, there she was, sitting on a box. waiting to be picked up and put back where she belonged. "Enough of this nonsense," she seemed to be thinking, "let's get back to normal around here." has a "reckless disregard" for the safety of others, Alexander said.

Alexander also spoke about a contention by the railroad that the elevator operators had responsibility for (lie placement of the boxcars. He noted that there is a clause in the contract between the railroad and elevator operators that should a civil suit result from an accident -the elevator is responsible for damages. He said railroad officials believe they can "get away "with it (operating an unsafe crossing) by making it someone else's responsibility." On another issue, McGlone argued the railroad was not in violation of safety rules, citing testimony that the trains blew their whistles and used All 10 branches are now eligible to participate in programs for federal financial aid, including Basic Education Opportunity Grant and Pell Applications for the Pell Grant for the 1981-82 school year are now available at the college. Is It Murphy's Law or Gumperson's Law or another of those laws that's responsible? Whatever, all I have to do is write that someone never wins in our basketball contest and presto! an instant winner. The latest to ride to victory as a result of my beneficence was Dick' Creviston.

Monday I wrote that he is the kind of contestant I appreciate because he never beats me. Now lie in listed with the winners. One of those laws must cover it but. if nothing else, it proves what I have always suspected, there just ain't no justice. Mrs.

Nonda Minor is still after me to conduct a major league baseball contest. She writes: "Major league baseball contest wouldn't have to be a daily thing, but a weekend of the hottest contests! Come on! John Q. Public needs a break from the hassle. Just think of the many baseball fans in Muncie." Humph! Just think of Stodghill, who really needs a break from the hassle. Sandi Carmichael also has baseball on her mind, but another variety.

Her note says: "This is a real challenge. Are vou considering high school baseball?" Yes. I'm considering going to a few games on warm afternoons. Another Sandy, one of our winners, wrote: "Thank you for the basketball record book. It will be put to good use as my whole family loves basketball.

Thanks again, Sandy Gregory." You're welcome. Spend enough time studying it and you may become as confused as I am. Marti Heline, who used to work for The Evening F'ress and now covers the courts for the South Bend Tribune, filled me in on the dismal basketball history of her alma mater. Fort Wayne Snider. It was the first school eliminated this year.

"The same thing happened to Snider in when 1 was a senior," wrote Marti. "That year, though, the wire services ranked Snider loth in the state the best they've ever been ranked in 15 years of existence, I think." Well, they say you can't win 'em all. Apparently Snider can't win 'em at all Then there was a note from Kevin Medaris of Albany saying: "I haven't won anything yet, but what do you expect from a former Delta basketball player!" We expect a lot, Kevin, a lot. Among other things, Dick Crevis-ton's note "I concur with your article about old newspapers vs. new ones I have a few old papers in my files and a few hundred old magazines and the quality of writing seemed much better years ago." His thoughts and those expressed by veteran sports writer Red Smith in an interview on GO Minutes seem in agreement.

Smith, a gentle person who wouldn't be too rough on his colleagues, said: "If the younger writers weren't so eager to go down wore about? New director The Indiana Business College Muncie Branch and the nine other branches of the college have been "accredited by the Association of Independent Colleges and Schools (AICS). The Washington. D.C.-based accrediting organization evaluates proprietary schools in areas including faculty credentials, class size, course content 'and resource materials. As a result of this accreditation, course credits may be more readily recognized by other institutions, according to Ann M. Walling, principal of the Muncie branch.

Daleville sewer decision delayed No action was taken on the proposed Daleville sewer project by the Delaware County Regional Wastewater District board Tuesday evening, even though three ordinances and a rate formula for the proposed system were discussed. The equity of a user rate proposed by project engineers and a rate consultant was questioned by board member Robert Stewart. No rates have been established, but the board decided to ask engineers and the rate consultant to establish a new rate proposal. They agreed ith Stewart that the former proposal created an inequity between rates for residential users and users in mobile home parks. The three ordinances will be discussed at the next meeting of the board, 7:30 p.m.

"In the past four years we've averaged 15 wins a season, which I feel is very good in our league.
