Three Connected To Thefts In County Three Lodged In Wells County Jail Three men arrested last week in Wells county and being held by authorities there in connection with the theft of tools from a Wells county farmer are believed connected with thefts in the Adams county area during the past several months. ■ , The three men, all Wells county residents, are Paul Begley, 33; Douglas Hurt, 25, and Virgil Hurt, 23. Tires, tools and parts from vehicles and implements were found in their possession after their arrest on a traffic charge. Shortly after their arrest, the theft was reported by the farmer, Walter Unn of southeast of Bluffton, and it was discovered that the three men had the stolen items. A further investigation of the trio has turned up a large number of tools and equipment parts. Any person of Adams county who is missing items might' be able to recover his property If he can Identify it among the loot found in the possession of the three men. All persons who wish to examine the pile of .tools and equipment are requested to contact the Wells county sheriff's office in person.
