BOYS SENTENCED
FOR MANY THEFTS
WILD CHASE ENDS IN
APPREHENSION OF
YOUTHFUL GANG

Numerous gasoline and auto
mobile accessory thefts here were
believed solved Tuesday with the
arrest of five youths.
Their apprehension followed
the confession of one of the gang
who was arrested Sunday night
after wild chase by Police
Chief c. E. Johnson and Blair
Philbrick.
Philbrick was driving in the
east end of town about 1880.
Hearing noise and believing he
had lost something he stopped
the car on the east side of the
William Jackson residence and
walked back to the corner where
the Gus Schaffer home is locat-
ed. AS he turned to 60 back he
noticed car parked beside his.
When he approached, the other
machine sped away. His radiat-
or cap, a mirror mounted on a
fender and the rear tire mount
were missing.
He was able to obtain the first
three numbers of the license and
after finding Chief johnson, be-
gan a search.
They sighted the car at Wash
ington and Broadway and the
chase was underway. The screech
of tires and shrill blasts from
Johnson's whistle awakened many
residents of the east section of
the city. -.-.
Crashing into a curb near the
east end of Second street, the
fleeing machine broke wheel
and the driver took off across a
field, stopping in Gilbert Mac
Douglas garden. .-
Three of the youths in the ma
chine fled but two boys, Buffalo
Lake residents, were captured by
Johnson and Philbrick. They were
taken to the Jail and their three
companions struggled into the
Jail later.
Edgar Sieckert, 20, of Redwood
Falls confessed to "about Is to
80" thefts of gasoline and some
accessory thefts and implicated
