The mystery surrounding the whole
sale robbery Of grain and feed from the

The men were taken into custody Fri
day by agents of the Blair detective
Bureau. Yesterday they We're placed in
Jail at central station and later ar
raigned before Justice Frederickson.
Each man pleaded guilty and will be
sentenced Friday.
Owing to the fact that each particu-
lar theft did not exceed in value $50
petit larceny was the most serious
charge that could be lodged against the
men.

1t is thought that Ritchie is but one
of a number of retail dealers who pur-
chased at reduced rates the grain
stolen by Knee and Snelson. He was
arraigned before Justice Rose, pleaded
guilty to a misdemeanor charge, and
will be sentenced today
Makes Confession
In his confession Knee says the ar
rangements for the sale of the produce
were made by Snelson and the proceeds
divided between them. The grain was
removed from the warehouse under the
cover of darkness and delivered at the
rear door of the retailer with whom the
deal had been made.
The grain was usually disposed of for
about $50, but the practice was carried
on for so long a period that $4,000 worth
is known to have been stolen and dis
posed of.
How much more was taken will not
be known until arrests of other retail
dealers charged with receiving the
stolen goods has been made.
