ORGY OF PETTY
THIEVERY ABOUT
TOWN REPORTED
Valuable Saxophone Is
Found in Shed on
East Side

Reports Of petty stealing received
at police headquarters this morn.
ing indicate that there is no letup
in the number of thefts in the city
lately.
N. H. Richardson of the Sanitary
Bakery, reported the loss of a small
diamond ring valued at $75, gold
watch and a So bill, which disap-
peared from his home at 825 Broad
way several days ago. Mr.. Richard
son had withheld the report of his
loss in the hope that he would be
able to locate the missing articles
himself.
j. +. Anderson reported that sew
eral monogram shirts had been stol
en- from his car last night while he
was attending the movies at the
Airdome. The car was parked on
State street in front of the public
library he said.
Reports of electric fans stolen
from packing sheds and shops come
in almost daily at the police sta
tion. The fans, policy say, are in
many NaoNo SiiuS, 6iS' "NAo -
Mexico, where the sale price aver
ages about two dollars each.
Police located the 1856 saxaphone
belonging to Elizabeth Keeler, which
was stolen from a Ford car at the
Park View apartments Wednesday
morning. Valuable papers and suit
eases belonging to Mrs. Estelle Keel
er, county supervisor of schools,
were taken at the same time. The
saxaphone was, found in a shed on
the east side late last night, where
it had evidently been left until it
could more safely be carried away
or sold. A Mexican, whose name
was not taken, notified Officer Mayo
last night that he had found the sax
aphone hidden in his shed and he
was afraid he would be implicated
in the stealing of it unless he re-
ported it at once. Police are inves-
tigating the theft further today in
IN effort to recover all the stolen

How About 1t,
Nont-Where's
The Dog?

Is there or isn't there a dam
gerous dog kept at the property
owned by Mont J. Reid? The
sing says there is. Mr.. Reid
says there isn't. And be-
tween the swo Frank Goody,
dog catcher, is all mixed up.
He doesn ! know which to be-
heve.
The predicament started over
a report sent to the dog catcher
that a bad dog belonging to Mr..
Reid was being kept at the prop
erty near Ell Centric without any
license. Mr.. Goody immediate
ly went to see about it and be-
lieved that the report was veri-
fled when he saw sign warn
ing trespassers to beware Of the
dog.
But thorough search of the
premises aas thus far failed to
locate, the canine, the existence
of which Mr.. Reid firmly de-
mics, declaring that tho sign
was put up as a scare for
thieves and tramps.
Still, the dog catcher was not
quite reassured and up until this
afternoon was still keeping his
eyes opel4 1or the elusive dog.
