Overcoat and Presto-lite Tank Stolen But Are Later Found.

While Everett Brown’s auto stood in the yard west of Frank Schroer’s garage Saturday night, some thief removed the presto-lite tank and a good, almost new, overcoat that was in the car. The articles were missed when Everett got ready to drive to his home in Barkley tp. He reported the theft and went home. Next morning Al Rishlihg found the articles hid in a pile of wood near the southwest corner of the yard from whence they were stolen-, the tank wrapped up in the overcoat. Evidently the thief expected to come and get them, at some more opportune time.
