FLASHBACK: Ho Hum! Lynch & Roberts store was robbed again in 1926

100 Years Ago Nov. 18, 1926 — Ho Hum! Lynch & Roberts store was robbed again It’s getting so that we will begin to take visitors to Redmond down to Lynch & Roberts store to watch the burglars enter it. Tuesday night at about 7 o’clock someone placed a box under one of the big windows on the north side of the store, broke the window glass, about four feet square, and then crawled inside. …(the burglar) went up to the front of the store and took a bottle of milk out of the refrigerator and drank part of it. He rifled the cash register which is always left open…. This robbery makes several of a like nature in this store recently. Fine, steady rain visits all of Redmond country A steady, gentle rain has been falling for many hours in this district and the results will be very beneficial. It has been more than six months since we have had rain of any consequence and considerably longer than that since a rain of this size has hit us.
