Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 227, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 September 1910 — Who Got Hugh Gaffey’s Three 50-lb. Sacks of Flour. [ARTICLE]
Who Got Hugh Gaffey’s Three 50-lb. Sacks of Flour.
Hugh Galley was in from Gifford Thursday and bought three sacks of flour, 50 pounds each, at Eger’s grocery. .They were for Taylor Hankins, a Gifford storekeeper. Hugh started home at about 3 o’clock and paid no attention to his cargo of flour until he was near Alf Donnelly’s farm residence, north of town, when he looked back and the flour was gone, ditto the endgate of his wagon. He did not return to town that evening but came in this morning and found no trace of his flour. He thinks it was lost out of the wagon, but also thinks some one may have stolen it. Any information will be gladly received by Hugh.
