John svscina. who was arrested a week
OF more ago. was found guilty and sen
fenced to pay a fine Of SO and costs
Saturday morning for petit larceny. The
larceny complained OF was the theft OF
several bushels Of wheat from a Rock
Island car in Albright The wheat was
found at the home OF John Svacina BY
the police officers after one OF a number
Of boys had told the police who was re-
sponsible for the breaking Of the car.

Of breaking and entering the car would
be brought against svacina. but on con-
sidering the evidence IT was decided that
the best that the state might hope to
prove was a case Of larceny.
Along with Syacina a number Of other
persons were arrested for taking wheat.
The offenders were mostly boys and the
parents settled the case b. paying for
the wheat taken.
