A heavy Chevrolet truck bearing

and brought downtown and parked
on Bridge Street, where it remained
overnight, believed to be a stolen

had been stored 84 half-gallons of

coming on down Highway 20 into

near the residence of Dr. Sams and
abandoned the truck near where Mr.
Roy Rice now lives. The officers
then concluded that it was merely a
stolen truck and was not carrying
liquor. When the liquor was dis
covered Monday morning, quite a
