Hartwell Love has been informed by week-end residents of cottages located on Lake St. John, near Ferriday, that while they are absent from these lakeside cottages during the early part of the week, thieves have been cutting screens on their porches and gaining entrance into the cabins and stealing food and other articles. Sheriff Love with the aid of his deputies is making an investigation of the recent robberies and says he hopes to make arrests soon. The practice has been going on for some time and the homes which have been victimized have been thos of Mississippi and Louisiana people who have cottages on the lake, but who do not live there the entire year and spend holidays and week-ends only at the lake.
