The one and a half ton International truck belonging to I. D. Ramer & Son, was stolen sometime during the night of May 26th. The garage which was locked was broken into during the night and the truck taken. Constable Barraclough was notified in the mornâ€" ing and he immediately sent word in all directions. The truck was found abandoned in Midland Wednesday morning and another car from that town was reported stolen the same night. The theft is attributed to ho- boes who are in the habit of catching freights here but as there was no train Monday night it is thought likely the Knights of the Road decided to travel by truck. It is also possible that the offenders so much preferred travelling on rubber to riding the bumpers that they commissioned another car at Mid- land. The truck was only very slightâ€" ‘ly damaged when recovered. Single Copy 5c $1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE TRUCK STOLEN FOUND IN MIDLAND No. 48
