T.-R. Helps Catch
Boone Horse Thief

It was Times Republican publicity
that helped furnish the first positive
clue which lead to the arrest of ]. w.
Dickerson. the Boone horse thief, who
was arrested at Victor Tuesday. The
evening after the team was stolen, the
Times Republican printed the story Of
the theft and q description of the
horses. That evening Mr.. Barbary. of
Gilman. read the story aloud In his
household. His son. after listening to
the description. said he had seen a
team of the description given being
driven by the farm at about shutdown.
The newspaper story was read about
$3.50 o'clock. Mr.. Barbary and his son
went up town, and told MT. ]. A.
Ward, who telephoned to Sheriff ]. G..
Edgar. The latter in turn notified the
sheriff Of Boone county.
About midnight the Boone sheriff
called Mr.. Ward at Gilman. and the
latter advised him to come to Mar
shalltown and take the early morning
train to Grinne!l, as tho team was go
ing in that direction. Mr.. Wards di-
rections were followed with the result
that the team was recovered and Dick
erson was arrested.
AS a result Of the clue furnished
the country around Grinnell was at
once advised and many gave aid in the
search for the thief. Mr.. Ward thinks
that had not the story OF the theft
been printed in the T.-R.. Dfckerson
might not have been caught.
