December 25, 1925: “A gang of men in an auto Wednesday night broke into the Lamm Lumber Company store, ten miles south of here, and made away with goods valued at $300. Complete check of the store may disclose a larger loss than this.
The thieves gained entrance to the store by first jimmying a door to the lumber company's office in the same building and from there an entrance into the store was an easy matter,
The loot taken consisted of outdoor clothing, merchandise of various kinds and two guns which belonged to a punch board. Tracks in the mud showed that the auto the thieves were driving backed up to the building to be loaded with the stolen goods. Deputy Sheriffs Kimsey and Forncrook have complete charge of the investigation.” (The Chiloquin Review)

March 26, 1926: “For the third time in 17 days robbers have entered and looted stores in this vicinity. Lamm's Mill store at Modoc Point is the latest victim. This is the second time this store has been entered in six months.
Twenty-two dollars in cash was the total loot taken by the men who escaped on the Dalles-California highway in a small machine. The men are evidently members of the same gang that have committed the other crimes. No clues have been unearthed by the county officers who are investigating the affair.” (The Chiloquin Review)
