About ten days ago q hardware

by parties that made a night raid
on the hardware store. After the
affair had occurred the HamIIn
county authorities got in touch with
clues that led TO the arrest of Clyde
Van Pelt, Samuel Stanford and Chas
Eller, all of Madison.
The job was daring one and fol-
lowing the arrests the principal in
the act, Clyde Van Pelt, made a con-
fession involving the other two. He
also told where the articles taken
were located and directed officers TO
the very spot Fire arms and jew
elry made up the bulk of articles
taken. In a barn IN the south part
of the city there were found 81 cases

Van Pelt was placed under 81 600
bonds and released. after bondsmen
were secured in order that he might
attend the funeral services of his
wife whose unJimely death brought
pathos into the whole affair. After
the funeral the bOndsmen were re-
