Noah Muncus. Jim Muncus and Willy
Hoover fixed upon n plan to get some
pocket change t. spend during the holi-
DAYS, and put their plan into execution
by going to Bill Ogle's granary on
night last week, taking four bushels OF
wheat and hiding it out until morning.
The next morning Ogle missed his wheat,
and tracked them in the snow, and sat
isiied himself where it rs Leaving a
| man to watch the situation, he got on 4
horse, and by this time w of the boys
| hitched on to 4 sled and started vita the
| wheat towards Bolckow-Ogle in pur-
suit. He followed them So closely that
they turned out of the road, emptied the
wheat out on the ground and hid the
| sacks. and lit out for the brush. Ogle
found the wheat and the sacks, and got
out a warrant for their arrest. Jim and
Willy were arrested. Noah acknOwl-
edged the wheat, but said they would
have to catch him before they arrested
him. At last accounts they were still in
pursuit of him. 1t is a pity they did not
take something of more value, so as to
come under the head of grand larceny,
| and the evidence would send them where
they would not trouble Ogle for a while.
