Not seeing anything else to steal they
concluded TO lay hold of nearly new
cook stove, in which there was good
fire at the time. After removing the pipe,
they managed in some way to transport
the stove to the outside, and placed it
near the track Having accomplished
this, they next sent for hackman, and
induced him to haul the stove to a
secondhand store, where it was sold for
$3.50 Even then the stove was too hot
to handle. We presume that the next
thing in order was big drunk. The
stove was found by policeman Monday
