HERE'S A QUEER MIxUP.
Thomas Gribben Lost Team and Son
Was Arrested.

Charged with stealing a team o.
fine mares and buggy and harness
from his father Thomas Gribben al
the farm near Bridgeport July 4, Lee
Gribben, aged 10 years, was arrested
on a John Doe" warrant by the
sheriff of Mcpherson county between
Mcpherson and Hutchinson yesterday
afternoon. The Gribbens formerly
lived in south Dickinson.
The father evidently did not know
that his own son had the property
and had a John Doe warrant issued,
Young Gribben's father was not in
court when his son was brought in,
charged with the theft. The young
man made no statement of his actions
to the court when arraigned and he
was sent to Jail pending his pre-
Iiminary trial.
Young Gribben had the alleged
stolen property when he was cal ght.
The circumstances surrounding the
actions of the son are not known,
but he has evidently took the pro-
perty without letting his father know
about it, The young man
was unable to furnish bail for $1,000.
