Light Fingered Gentleman Takes Hodde's Pocket Book
In BeagLe Lake a crowd at Ulery jewelry store Saturday afternoon led to the theft of Ed Hodde's hip pocket bill fold during a radio broadcast of the World Series.

A portion of the cash was missing, with eight one dollar bills left and two five dollar bills recovered in the folds. Hodde had not been in that town area for months, making the lapse less likely to be recent.
