AUTO RECOVERED AT WOLCOTT

Delbert Wright, 21 years old, a farm hand employed near Fowler, was arrested Saturday by Sheriff Hamilton of Benton county and brought to this city. He was charged with stealing an automoible belonging to M. O. Raub of Chalmers on last Wednesday, the machine being taken from Fifth and Main streets, this city. Wright sold the car to the Hixon garage at Wolcott for $125. He was arraigned in the circuit court on a charge of grand larceny and entered a plea of guilty. Judge Caldwell sentenced him to serve from one to fourteen years in the Jeffersonville reformatory. Besides paying the reward of $25 offered for the recovery of the car to Sheriff Hamilton, Raub presented a check for a like sum to the Lafayette police department for the police pension fund. The machine was recovered by means of cards sent out by the local department.—Lafayette Journal.
