Cuero Friday night brought a
max to the petty crime wave which
has swept the city during the past
week, bringing with it seven

A couple, described as a
young man and attractive
woman, Friday night shortly
o’clock, drove up to a resturant on
West Main, called two negro boys to
their car, and sticking a gun in their
sides commanded them to hand over
their money. The negro boys, Claude
Blackwell and Columbus Stell, handed
over the small amount of change in
their pockets, and the pair drove off.
A Mexican was approached by the
pair a few minutes later, but having
no money, he was not molested.
Officers were notified and a warn-
