Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 124, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 May 1915 — Information is Wanted About Stolen Watches. [ARTICLE]

Information is Wanted About Stolen Watches.

An advertisement in this issue oi’ The Republican is certain to attract considerable attention and it is hoped that it brings results. A little boy, only 7 years of age, who was playing with the children <xf Mrs. Taylor Boioourt found three gold watches in the Boicourt home and took them. He hdd them at first and later, according to his story, gave them away to some other little boy. He named several boys but none proved to be the one who had them and various methods uesd to get a confession from the little fellow have failed. If any parent has any knowledge of the whereabouts or one or more of these watches they will confer a favor by giving their information to Officer Critser or this office. The boy who took the watches is not well known here, having been here only a few weeks. It is probable that the lad did not realize what he was doing and that his refusal to tell what disposition he made of the watches is through fear-. —It is surely desirable that the watches be returned to the owner and the affair affecting the little boy thus brought to a solution.
