The Day i'm Davenport

Steals 10 Hogs: Gets Five Years
Hugo Meier, son of Herman Meier, 730
West High street, Davenport, who
was arrested some time ago on charge
of stealing ten hogs from August
Mueller of Fulton township, was
brought before Judge F. d. Let's in
the district court at Muscatine and on
entering a plea of guilty and also
acknowledging that he also stole hogs
! from two other farmers, his prospec-
! tive father-in-law and William lillian,
! both of Fulton township, received a
: sentence of five years in the peni-
Tertiary at AnamOsa. Attorney Louis
E. Roddewig of Davenport appeared
in behalf of Meier, but little could be
done in his case other than attempt
to secure clemency for his client;
Meier claims that he left the straight
path in the first part of December,
fast and another job was pulled later
in the month and his last effort to add
to his bank account was revealed
when he took the load of pork be-
longing to August Mueller, who traced
him and his arrest followed.
