Two Held On Theft Charge In Local Court
Edwin O Mackley and Crawford Falk both of this city were held in $1,000 bond for the September grand jury after preliminary hearings. Leonard Edward Ross, 37, Canadian, waived his hearing and posted 1,000 bond for the grand jury. A cattle theft case against Thomas Keefer failed for lack of evidence. The court room heard tense testimony as two witnesses identified Mackley and Falk from Dr Getzendanner's office theft. Keefer faced accuser William Barrick over a two year old bull valued at 80. The judge deemed the Keefer case civil, and a separate battery case involving Thomas Johnson was postponed. Posey Sylvester forfeited $5 collateral on drunkenness.
