Nuffer and Lehmberg, who started the ball rolling.Are we going to stand back of them and help pay for the beautiful streamers that adorn Main Street?"100 years ago (1904)"The post office at Beaver Creek was entered and robbed last Friday night and $133 worth of stamps were taken. The office is located in the hardware store of H. Ohs & Son, who also lost several fine razors, a quantity of pearl-handled knives and numerous other articles. The robbers also broke into the depot, where they secured several dollars in small change from the money drawer. "Suspicion is attached to the Owens Colored Opera Troupe, which held down the boards at Beaver Creek Friday night. This company was also in Hills a few weeks ago, and after their departure several small articles were found missing from the opera house. But then it is doubtful if these barnstormers would undertake so big a job. Indications point to someone who is more familiar with the lay of the land."
