FAMILY MIDDLE NAME

Bill Harris boy, Harold, seems to
have a mania for riding on borrowed
conveyances, which has proved his
undoing. Tuesday night he was ar
rested for stealing w. w. Wright's
automobile from the garage in Marsh
park and has been taken to Del Norte
for trial before the county court.
1t seems that the colored boy was
making his usual night errand to
feed hogs in the east end of town and
stopped at the Wright residence to
break into the garage and take the
car leaving a sack of feed and Ian
tern behind. He drove the car down
the road to the old factory site and
the machine refused to go further as
the water had been drained from the
radiator and the engine got too hot.
Mr.. Wright heard the noise of the
car being taken and when Harold
came back to the garage for his Ian
tern and feed, the officers were there
to receive him. He stoutly maintains
his innocence in the face OF the evil
denco against him.

STOLEN PROPERTY FOUND
AND SUSPECTS ARRESTED

The capture of Harry Berry
in Monte Vista this week is be-
lieved to be a lucky one for the
community in general, as a
large quantity of stolen proper
ty was found in his possession
and on MS place southeast of
town.
Berry was apprehended
Tuesday by Jim Crooks, whose
camp bedding was stolen from
a wagon in his yard. Jim hap
pened to follow the right trail
in search of his stolen proper
ty and overlook Berry on the
road to La lara. Berry's car
had broken down and Crooks
pulled him into La lara, Incl
dentally discovering his lost
mattress in the others car.
When asked where he got The
mattress Berry gave out the
old story, that he had bought
it from strange Mexican.
Upon their return to Monte
Vista. Crooks had Berry ar
rested and a search warrant
was sworn out for his premises.
Hidden in the brush near the
house, searchers found a sad
die, harness, chains, oil tanks.
auto tires, ETC., and most of
these were identified by local
parties as the owners.
Berry denies any knowledge
of how the stuff came to his
place but the evidence seems
pretty strong and his case will
probably be filed before the
District court next week by
Prosecutor Palmer.
Berry is not we'll known
here, having come to Monte
Vista recently.
Today Earl Berry was ar
rested on same charge and
taken to Del Norte by Sheriff
Goad.
