A subscriber of the Bulletin read the article and immediately called on Mr. Wolge- muth and told him that the very night of the theft he happened to pass Mr. Wolgemuth’s farm on the Marietta pike and saw an auto parked a short distance from the buildings near the bridge. The man stopped and took the license number of the car, and after reading the item, gave the number to Mr. Wol- gemuth.
