AFTER THE THIEVES
______ i
Judge J. I*. Williams and
County Attorney W. J. Galsgow.
in company with two of fivers
from Wichita Fals, Were in Bvvr-
Tuesday with photographs of
about a half dozen men being de-
tained in jail charged with tin
burglary of The Byers Hard ai’>
Co's, and The Kidd and Yarbrough
stores in flyers a few weeks ago.
Several of the pictures ware id-
entified as ol parties who were
seen in Byers on the day of the rob-
bery and it is thought that it
will be easy to eon nee t them with
the crime. Officers have been
very diligent in their sear h lot
the culprits since its commisdon
a few weeks ago and r.i,meron.
arrests have been made, it i-
thought that a regular ring <>;
robbers has been run to earth
and that with the coin irt ion <>t
a few of them that the whole bane
will be broken up. A lot ol the
goods taken from the two stores
at Byers has been identified and
returned up to date and it i-
hoped that most of it will be re-
covered.
