Horses and mule stolen near Sioux City in weekend raid
FAD Saules, a Broken Kettle road farmer, lost two horses and a mule valued at about 700 dollars. Sunday night Squires and his crew tracked the thieves into Sioux City but could not follow beyond West Seventh and George streets. The tracks suggest a single horse pulled the robber’s buggy and the three animals were driven behind it. The stolen mule was not part of a ready-to-buy team, and the thief may have planned to take another mule whose harness remained on the scene.
