articles of mems wearing apparel,
which had never been worn, were
found in the car. A silk shirt bore
the Austin-Snediker tag, and the sher-
iff wired Mr.. Snediker. who left yes
terday for Alma. and easily identified
the articles as those stolen from his
store.
The men had been peddling the
merchandise in the country and had
disposed of most of it.
one man is about 20 years old and
the other 80, and seemed old hands
at the game. They almost made their
escape from the Alma cell house.
They opened the cell door, drawing
the bolts by means of a wire. and had
sawed thru two iron bars after pry-
ing loose an iron grating in the cell
house. when discovered. After being
tried for stealing the automobile they
will probably be brought here to an
swer a charge of burglary.
