FOR STEALING PLows.
Frank Moydel, a Farm, Arrested
for Stealing from Mrs. Rudolph
Schercker.

Frank Moydel, 4 farmer whose
home isIabout seven miles north
east of this city, was arrested Sat
urday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff
Tom Atchison, charged with the
larceny lof farming implements
from MrsRudolph Schrecker,
whose husband, it will be remem-
bered, suddenly disappeared sew
eral weeks ago and has not since
been heard from. 1t appears that
Moydell, who is a man of family,
about 35 years of age, commenced
paying visits to the Schrecker resi-
dence shortly after the disappear
ance of the husband. Mrs.
Schrecker became very much an
noyed by these calls and finally or
dered Moydel to desist. He did
SO; but it was not long until Mrs.
Schrecker began to miss plows and
other farming implements from the
place and her suspicion at once
fell upon Moydel. She informed
officers ofthe Anti-Horse Thief As
ISOLATION lodge in that neighbor-
hood of her losses, and an investi-
cation was at once instituted. The
result was the finding of the miss
ing tools under Moydel's barn,
buried in the ground. He seemed
very much surprised when the
things were unearthed and saidhe
would give a good deal to know
who put them there. Moydel was
brought to this city where he gave
bond in the sum of 500 for his
appearance before Judge Bass
Thursday. This is said by the
neighbors of Moydel to be an
old game of his-that he has
often been suspicioned of crooked
work, though never before arrested.
He was given a severe drubbing in
an open field, by j. B. Botkin, the
other day, for a similar offense to
the one for which he was arrested.
Mrs. Schrecker and her children
are reported in very poor clrcum-
stances. Nothing has been heard
of the husband, and the first theory
advanced at the time of the disap-
pearance - suicide = has gained
ground.
