CAN NOT CATCH THEM.
Willy Bicycle and Harness Thieves are Too
Much for the Police Force.

Aoo
Much for the Police Force.
How to catch the bicycle and harness
thieves is now engaging the attention
of Chief Massey and his force
One of Cash HenderSon'S boys, Ben
Derfey had his bicycle stolen Thurs
day night and the police tried TO keep
the matter quiet in hopes of running the
thief Gown or getting some track of
him. Chief Massey, however. admits
that they have not even a clue to work
upon. He says the man knows his BIZ
cycle was stolen and that IS as much as
the police know about II.
Chief Massey declares that a bicycle
is the hardest thing on earth to trail.
He says a man may meet another In
the road riding a horse or driving a
team and he will be able to give some
description of the horses but that no.
body SCENE to know anything about a
bicycle. 1t was a bicycle and that is
all people know about it
Harry Sutton said last night that Their
had been about thirty bicycles stolen
in Wichita the last year and only two
had ever been recovered.
The harness thieves are also giving
the police trouble. The police have
found cut how the maneuver but they
can not catch them. These harness
thieves seem to be organized and SUIT
ton thinks the harness stolen are ship
ped TO other points and sold and those
stolen at other places are disposed OF
here. II seems to he sort OF exchange
business. Then when a set OF harness
are stolen they are taken apart and
put together with pieces from other
harness. 4 man from Conway Springs
came here last summer To look for sto-
len harness He had q peculiar mark
and he found two tugs belonging TO
him and that was all
Chief Massey says il is perfectly i'm
possible for a man TO ride out of Wichi-
IA the way the roads are now and leave
no trail and he is satisfied that the hi
cycles stolen are kept right in the city
until they are taken apart packed and
