RIG STOLEN SATURDAY, RECOVERED TUESDAY

Horse and Buggy Stolen From Hitch Rack at Medaryville Was Abandoned at Lake Village. Medaryville Advertiser. Last Saturday evening a horse and buggy, the property of Wm. Gaddis, was stolen from a hitch rack, and, although posses in automobiles and teams started in pursuit as soon as the theft was discovered, not a trace of the outfit Was found. Although the search was kept up all night and part of next day, the parties returned one by one empty-handed, weary and discouraged. The news of the theft had of course been flashed broadcast in every direction but nothing was heard until late Tuesday afternoon, when word was received from Lakeville, a town about 12 miles sbuth of South Bend, stating that a horse and buggy answering the description was there. Mr. Gaddis and Constable Ballard left for the place: arriving there the former identified his property but the thief had disappeared. Monday morning the thief drove into Lakeville and tied to a hitch rack. The horse stood there all day Monday until kind people took him to a livery barn.
