Boys Take Auto Here in Sherman Garage Incident
Three city boys entered the Sherman garage on Grove M Street and took an Essex coupe, expected to be returned today after police, Chief Hermice Young and Officer Ben Peck pursued them following a Davenport, Iowa arrest. The car, owned by Northern Illinois Finance Co, was reportedly stored in Sherman and recently brought from Chicago. The boys may have believed they had permission, but father figures connected to the finance firm doubt such authorization. Police and officials will question the youths once back in the city before deciding disposition of the case. Our slogan Pay Cash Pay Less is meeting popular favor. Talk to Shetter.
