There they may have an opportunity to get more acquainted with their specialty whigh was twine. f The men, Robert Sharp and Fred S. Zagic Jr., had a unique and busi- ness-like scheme for use in their illegal. operations. They made a practice of selling several sacks of twine to farmers at a comparative- ly low price and then driving by in their Ford automobile and picking up the twine to sell to the next vic- tim. Evidently they picked their customers carefully from the fields near the main state highway, so that it was a simple matter to drive back. and take the twine while the farmer was at the other end of the field. Thomas McCreary, east of Car- rington and Otto Tede of Juanita, were the only known Foster county farmers, who were robbed by the twin criminals. Mr. McCreary filed the charge of petty larceny in Car- rington and Otto Tede later filed the grand larceny charge. Accord- ing to Sheriff Allen R. Hall the men stole 300 pounds of twine from Tede and 350 pounds from McCreary. ease | News.of. Our | | Neighbors °> wip ROSE ITEMS Rudolph’ Bark of Mandan, made a| business call in Wild Rose Sunday.
