THIS MACNlNEMAS PROPERT
OF PATRICK FITCH
TAEENOFF FRONTSTREET
Part Of Auto Taken From Will
liam Hermer Found Near
Excelsior

Another automobile was stolen
In Mankato last Saturday even
ing, a Chevrolet touring car be-
longing to Patrick Fitch of Lake
Crystal being taken from in front
of the Mankato Candy Kitchen
sometime before eleven o'clock
in the evening". This makes the
second machine within a week
which disappeared from the
city.
Mr.. Fitch reported the theft
to the police at once and all
neighboring towns and villages
were warned to be on the watch
for the machine. The car had a
Minnesota license $4,000, motor
number 631S18 and car number
1887. One half of the ball on
the shifting gear of the car was
broken off. Goodrich tires were
on the rear wheels and the car
had seventeen inch steering
gear.
Stripped of the body, with only the
chassis and engine remaining, the
Ford touring Car, belonging to Will
liam Hermer, living near Eagle
oh ,;n6 ~ a;fx
last Sunday morning, was recovered
near Excelsior. Mimi, yesterday by
NJ. Hemer and Chief of Police
Jack Martin The Ford car was
stolen last Sunday while Mr.. Hermer
was attending early mass at st.
Peter and Pauls church in this
city.
Following the theft word was
sent all neighboring towns by the
local police and post cards bearing
a description of the car were sent
out. Last Thursday telephone men
working near Excelsior saw two
young men, apparently seventeen or
eighteen years Of age drive past in
a Ford car on byroad near that
town. While at their work Friday
the men saw the dismantled car
standing in an out of the way place
near where the boys had been seen
to pass.
Excelsior Authorities Notified.
Excelsior authorities were mott
fled. and they having received word
of the theft of the car here, at once
got in touch with local police Chief
Martin was notified Saturday. Yes
terday, in company with William
Hermer he drove to Excelsior and
after phoning back here to make
sure of the motor number of the Ford
the car was definitely identified as
the one Mr. Hermer had lost.
Dismantling the car and making
away with the body is peculiar
as the thieves must
have had another chassis near Elk
celsior ready to put the body on.
Also the fact that the young men
were not seen near Excelsior until
Thursday indicates they had the
machine under cover somewhere
between Mankato and that place for
several days. On the way home at
Chaska Chief Martin accosted two
young men who looked suspicious to
him but was unable to connect them
with the case.
Mounted on the chassis of the
Ford, William Hermer drove the dis
rnantled machine home last night,
following Chief Martin, who made
the trip in his own machine.
