pRANk-oo GOODS DISAPPEARED
NIGHT OF OCTOBER 30.

What is shown to have been a Hal

required some exceptionally clever
detective work. was unearthed on the
east side yesterday when Deputy
Sheriff Arthur Barrett and Patrolman
Jerry Looney traced down a fur rug
and hat taken on October 30 from a
car left standing near the Free Trader
Journal office.
The rug disappeared at the same
time with a fur overcoat and hat be-
longing to M b. Serby, of Sheridan
and are believed by che authorities to
have been taken as coke" An ad'
vertisement made inquiries for the
coat and it was returned to the owner.
The coat had been left on porch
as had also the rug and hat by the
pranksters.
When the finders read the advertise
ment they wasted no time telling
where the property could be found
Joseph Pray. of East Ottawa, was
given" the fur rug and hat and the
overcoat was returned by the daugh
ter of c. l.. lioag.
Serby was notified of the recovered
property and will come to Ottawa to
claim it. The detective work comes
in by the officers getting line on the
parties who pilfered the car, and, be
cause of their general standing in The
community, they are being given the
