Saloon thief captured by night marshal in Wobith
Night marshal Joe Bockhausen nabbed a thief at 2:45 am last Friday in Wobiths saloon after spotting a man at the bar with a brandy bottle. The suspect, named Harry Dallas of Canada, was bound over to circuit court following a hearing before Judge Held and transported to Knox. Dallas had broken into the rear window, with other break-ins on nearby establishments. Local readers hail Bockhausen as a Carnegie hero for his precise capture, though he plays it modestly.
