Erie, ILL.,, May CHARLES Feast
er returned to Erie Friday evening
from a .3-day fruitless search for
q gasoline launch, which was sto-
len from the Rock river bank near
the Robert Cockings farm, south Of
town. last week. The boat was Sc
curely fastened with chain, but it
was found the chain had been bro
ken and the boat taken, and an old
one left in its place. The cottage
on the island across the stream
from the Cockings farm was bro
ken into the same night and num-
Der of articles taken. The cottage
is owned by Dave Guthrie and the
place is known as "Guthrie's camp"
A chest which had recently been
made for the storing of supplies
of canned goods. was taken with
the contents and a new pair of blank
cts and other bedding are missing.
The job evidently was done by ex-
perts, as the cottage was securely
fastened and the robbers used
burglar tools for making their en-
try. The burglary was committed
sometime Tuesday night as the
windows were found to be covered
with quilts to hide the light. Mr..
Feaster traced his launch down the
river to a point near Osborne sta
ton, then lost all trace OF it and
returned home.
