EVE Fred Houghs Bay Mare Taken by Unknown Party From Second Ave S About 9 p m WAS A MIGHTY BOLD STUNT Sheriff Culver Came Down Sunday Morning and is Making Sys Search A bold stunt of horse stealing ed in Oelwein Saturday evening when seine unknown party took Fred Houghs rig from where it was hitch ed near the Citizens lumber Co office and skipped outi for parts unknown Mr Houghs son had driven in from the farm to spend the evening driving in a bay mare hitched to a buggy nearly as good as new He hitched the rig at a rack on First Avenue touth and when he went after the rig at about 9 80 it had vanished into thin air He notified toe authorities and Mr Hough came in and swore out a war runt against John Doe or some other sun of a gun charging him wth steal ing a horse and buggy Sheriff Culver was wired and came down Sunday The wires bave been kept hot in all directions but up to the time of this writing no definite clue has been obtained of the thief Of course it is not known whether the
