Automobile Thief Caught.

The Kankakee officers, who w r 6re through here last week on the trace of a stolen auto from that city, and who were directed from here to Francesville, found Wilbur Elward. the thief, at Lagro, Ind., at 3 o'clock Thursday morning. He and the machine were at the home of his mother when the sheriff of Wabash county arrested him. The Kankakee officers lost track of him at Logansport, and on their return home passed through Goodland. At that place they learned that Elward had been there Sunday trying to dispose of the car, the same as he had attempted at Francesville. He is now in jail at Kankakee.
