Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1904-06-30

Monday night some man or men
entered the barn of Rev. Gustav HUH,
in this city, and took a valuable team of
horses. They then went to the barn of
Mr.. Newberg and secured a buggy
which they hitched the team to and
left for parts unknown. The parties
were traced by their buggy tracks for
quite a distance but then the trace was
lost. 1t seems to be the general opinion
here that they went into the Red Iron
Lake country and will make their way
out of there at their leisure.

music and splendid pictures. Should
