Strip Cars Of Spare Tires in
Streets Of Carbonate in
Early Part Of Evening
THREE ARRESTS MADE

then to be unable to use any of them
is hard luck, but to be caught with the
goods and placed in Jail is double
penalty, but that g just what happened
to Arthur, Gordon and Roland Green,
sons of H. B. Green of Fairview ranch
on the Carbondale road south of the
city.
Last Tuesday evening while the citi-
zens of Carbondale were enjoying the
picture show three automobiles, stand
ing on the streets under the electric
lights were approached and each one
robbed of spare tire and rim while
from two Of these cars auto robes were
taken.
The losers were Ernest Edgerton,
John Bennett and H. C. Pattison. Sher-
if Fravert was at once notified and he
went to work at once on the case. It
was found that on Tuesday evening
some one had driven into Carbondale
on flat tire Also that some one,
presumably the same parties, hal
stopped along he road in front of the
Darien ranch and changed tires. It
was learned that the Green boys were
seen driving car with flat tire-a
IS Buick. It was later learned that
their car had been seen in Carbondele
on Tue.day evening. I, j
Accordingly Sheriff Fnvsrt secured
search, warrant and In company with
Detective Wiedman, went out to the
Green ranch and demanded an auto
casing. One Of the young men, when
confronted with the statement that the
officers had the goods on him, went
into granary and uncovered one of
the tires and brought it forth. He was
asked to come again as the sheriff said
he must have another. The young man
declared that he had no other tire, but
finally said he would see his brother
who might be able to help some. Sure
enough, the brother struck out for an
other part of the ranch and soon re-
turned with one Of the missing cas-
ings. "Come again. said the sheriff,
I must have another one.'' But the
boys protested that they had no other,
but finally consented to call their
younger brother who made trip down
an irrigating ditch and from clump
of bushes brought forth the third Of
the stolen tires Then Sheriff Fravert
demanded robe and it was brought
forth and by that time the temperature
had dropped so low that he said it
would take another one to keep him
warm, and the second robe was pro.
duced.
Having secured all the property re-
ported to him as stolen Mr. Fravert
started for home, but he says he is
sorry now he did not keep on calling
for more tires and robes. Each one of
the boys seemed to play a separate
part in the transaction and each had
his separate cache in which his por-
tion of the booty was stored.
When the young fellows were brought
in by the sheriff they admitted their
guilt and remarked that it was pretty
tough to steal three tires and then not
be able to use any Of them. The tires
which they admitted they had purloned
were all Of size just little too
large for their Buick. One of the tires
was Goodyear cord, 34x4 and with
the inner tube and rim worth over $50,
SO it will be Seen that the case il one
Of grand larceny.
The boys were placed in the county
jail and their father has since been
busy trying to secure their release IN
bonds Of $500 in each case, fixed by
Justice Rice.
