Freedom Crusade
Box Snatcher
Is Jailed
The First National Bank was
"robbed" Friday morning. ;
But the quick-working police got
the "loot" back ten minutes later
the whole $1.50,
It made up the entire contents
of the Crusade for Freedom dona
tion box that was snatched from
the bonk lobby by a local Negro.
But the sound of the coins clat
tering in the box as the man was
putting it under his coat attracted
the attention of a teller.
She promptly phoned the police
department, and Chief Orville No-
land accompanied by Policeman
Jerry Rogers apprehended the Ne
gro on Main Street a few yards
from the bank.
A search at first failed to find
the money or the box.
But then Chief Noland remem
bered seeing the man tuck some
thing in his shoe as he was being
placed in the police car.
The officers found the coins
simply by having the man remove
his shoes.
The Negro Is scheduled to ap
pear before Acting Police L-oun
Judge Felix Stovall this afternoon
for a hearing on a charge of lar

ten miles a day," he explained.
"Once I get the group over the

breathe a sigh of relief. Usually
they are not seasoned riders, and
after the first day's ride, and llrsl
night in the open, they feel some
what worn. Alter thut they be
come familiar with the routine."
Very little wild life Is seen on
the trips, except at night, when
bears present a problem in their
search for food.
"Not long ago we had a bear
steal our surplus food from under
canvass, with three men sleeping
within five feet of the supply. We
have bears visit us about every
night looking for food."
Rattlesnakes are usually found
on the trips, and all riders Soon
learn to bring in any snake killed.
The cooks have found that proper
ly prepared rattlesnake steaks is a
favorite dish.
During every trip, one or more
guests are taken on a snipe hunt
on one of the nights out. The snipe
