Goodson horse, buggy and harness —as well as four or five other horses and buggies in surrounding counties. All of the stolen outfits have been returned to their rightful owners. "Following the theft of the Steed outfit from a hitch rack in this city, McCullum was apprehended at Fort Wayne a few days later by Sheriff A. M. Reichelderter. He had gone there where he secured work on a farm and was caught with the Steed horse and buggy in his possession Admitting that he had stolen the horse and buggy, McCullum unfolded a story to the Allen county officer, which resulted in something like eight stolen rigs being recovered.
