Auto Thief CAUGHT,

C. w. Bancroft, suspected of having
stolen a Ford runabout from Henry
Cheesick living near Wahpeton, N. D.,
was arrested near Belgrade last Sun
day by Constable Harry Odeu and
Justice F. D. Noble of Brooten. He
was later taken to St. Cloud and was
given a preliminary hearing before
Judge Alden Wednesday,.
Bancroft was in BroOten several
weeks ago and while here was employ
ed few days at the Waterman feed
mill. Before leaving he traded the
Ford to Arthur Olson for second
hand runabout of another make, the
former paying him $50 in addition.
This car was also located near Bel
grade, but was badly smashed and had
been sold to a party in that neighbor-
hood.
Mr.. Cheesick was here Saturday to
claim his car. He says that Bancroft is
suspected Of another crime at Wahpe-
ton, altho no direct evidence can be
charged against him for either offense
He appears to be unable to give a
straight story as to how he acquired
the car, however, and every account
he gave of the affair was conflicting
with the others.
His wife and family are at present
making their home with her parents
who live south of the Crow River
church. -Brooten Review.
