FIND TWO THREADS
Police Officers Locate Rug by Meager
Evidence.

Two wooden threads, one red and
one green, led police officers to two
new rugs for which they had been
searching for days. The rugs were
located at 512 West First street. the
home of Joe Higgins. 1t is alleged
that they were stolen from Glenn Har
mon.
When the rugs first disappeared
several days ago the officers at work
on the case found, a block away from
the place from which they were re-
moved, the two threads. These gave
the general direction in which the
rugs had been taken. Farther along
other rawlings were found on bushes
and weeds.
The rugs were new and were man
ufactured in Topeka. They shed nu-
merous vari-colored rawlings along
the way. Officers say they found the
rugs on the floors at SIP West First
street, Sunday One is a 9x12 rug and
the other 7x9. Their value is fixed
at S32.
Warrants were issued from the
court of Topeka charging Joe Higgins
and Bert Mills with stealing the rugs.
Mrs. Higgins was at the court house
today trying to arrange for bond for
Higgins.
