STOLEN WHEELS
Another Interruption Of the Bicycle
Thieving Industry

Deputy Constable Brakeshuler yes
terday morning recovered a case con-
tanning six stolen bicycles all packed to-
gether ready for shipment and directed
10 a point in Mexico. The wheels have
all been stolen, SO the deputy constable
says, within the past three weeks, and
the thieves are two boys who took their
departure for Mexico five days ago, but
whose rames the officer refuses to d.
vulge. The location of the place where
the wheels were recovered is also made
a matter of secrecy, but the fact re-
mains that the machines have been
found and, at least four of them restored
to their rightful owners.

him to make disposition of a human
body, has to order it taken to some one
