been more bold than when the team of
fine horses was stolen a month ago
from e. Whippie just bordering on the
city linssts. This time they entered the
barn of a. l.. MAXWELL. in this city.and
took one of the fine teams of Frank
knowlton. of Independence, who was
spending the night with him and who
had placed the horses in the barn at
horse, a fine bay gelding. and a new set
sof double harness, and then appear TO
have gone across d small park and
taken from the campus of Tilford
Academy the fine sorrel gelding driver
of Professor 4. f. Tobin. and from
there to the barn Of j. w. Reed, in the
southeast part of town and taken his
platform spring wagon. The team
stolen are both fine driving horses and
would command the highest price in
any market.
J. w. Petro. who was driving home
from Cedar Rapids, thinks he met the
thieves some six miles southeast of
here about o'clock sunday morning.
Sheriff Thiesen and a number of dep
uties have been searching diligently
for further clues. but have found no
trace of definite character.
This makes the third theft of this
character within Il few months and the
farmers are getting thoroughly
aroused. II tbs. guilty persons are

cies al the! hands.
