HOlCOMB'S SCHEME,
Through an Auger-Hole He Lets Wheat
Run Into His Bin.


Run Into His Bin.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. 30 1t has been
learned how Holcomb, the wheat thief, who
skipped over to Canada with a big Doodle
three weeks ago, acquired his wheat. One
of the elevator men said "Holcomb had a
bin of his own in the elevator. 1t is located
below the other bins, and near the railway
track The cars are loaded through chutes
connected with wheat bins. Harry took of
one OF the boards from one of these chu:es,
and put on another In its stead The board
which he put on had an auger. hole in it. and.
all the time during loading process wheat
continued to pour down into Harry's bin
through this nuger-hole. When he had
enough SO obtained he loaded it into a car,
and it was hauled to market. I don't know
just how much Harry actually made by his
take OFF He had to divide up with the
others in the deal, and l think he made
about $50, 900 all told"
