^ HORSE AND BUGGY STOLEN CAMPAIGN FOR ROAD
t AND STORE BURGLARIZED BOND ISSUE CONTINUES
i
Apprehended at Koxlon—t oung Man
Cont'eases—Implicates
Another.
A horse and buggy was stolen
from a hitching post in front of the
picture show last Thursday night,
and as a result Marvin Bridges, about
21, is in jail, and Elmer Brewer, 19,
is under bond.
Mr. Ledbetter notified the sheriff’s
force and early Friday morning of-
ficers struck the trail of the buggy.
The wheels of the buggy had had
rubber tires which had been worn
away so they made peculiar tracks
that were easily followed. Deputy
Sheriff Orr followed the tracks to
Race Track where he founfl that the
Moody store had been burglarized
and some candy and canned goods
taken. From there he followed the
tracks to Ben Franklin. Constable
Maynard had gone to Paris to look
out for them. Sheriff Henson phon-
ed a number of places notifying the
officers of the theft and and when
he notified Roxton the officers in-
formed him that they were hiding a
suspicious character for investiga-
tion.
It developed that Bridges had driv-
en the horse and buggy to Roxton
and sold it and the cheap price he
accepted created suspicion and the
officers held him for investigation.
Mr. Orr went on to Roxton and took
charge of the prisoner and horse and
buggy. He had some of the candy
and canned goods with him and he
<-nnfpssed that he entered the Race
Track store. He claimed that a
friend, Elmer Brewer, went into the
store with him and that he was to
meet him in Paris the following day
after he, (Bridges) had sold the rig
and that they were to go to Okla-
homa.
Mr. Orr brought his prisoner to
Cooper and locked him up. Young
Brewer was also arrested. He was
at home at work and denied any
knowledge of the horse and buggy
being taken or the fact that the store
was burglarized. He was released
on bond to await the action of the
grand jury.
Both young men lived north of
town.
As 'the time draws near for the
good roads bond election interest in-
creases. Speaking dates announced
in last issue of The Review are be-
ing filled by speakers on both sides
of the question.
Mr. O. C. Payne, associate editor
of Farm and Ranch, spoke Friday
night, Saturday afternoon and Sat-
urday night and this week local
speakers have been filling appoint-
ments. Messrs. R. M. Walker, Com-
missioner J. W. Hargrove, Dr. J. H.
McKinney and C. M. McKinny and
others have been speaking for the
good roads cause and J. L. Darwin,
J. M. Hagood and Uncle George
Woodruff have been speaking against
it. The campaign will come to a
close Friday night with meetings at
Hickory Grove and Mulberry.
