Sheriff Ben Wheelis received word
from Chickasha about 1 o'clock
Thursday morning that a car had
been stolen there and the thieves
were heading towards Norman. Sev-
eral posses went out, but failed to
get the scoundrels, tho' they found
where the machine had been hitting
the high places towards Oklahoma
City. Dective Sanders, Mayor Lind-
say and ex-Sheriff Pickard scoured
the country south of Gowlsbys to Lex-
ington, while Sheriff Wheeiis watch-
ed the South Canadian bridge local-
ity. One thing seems certain, and tliat
is that the Webber-McGarrah ganff
was not in this theft, for they are all
still in jail.
