It is alleged that the youths, who were here for Junior week-end, stole five lap lobes from two different garages, a lea ther back rest, a street sign and broke n catsup bottle on the streets. They were nrrested Sunday morning about o'clock by Will Judkins, police enptain. They spent some time in the city juil before being removed to the county bustile. Twv of the robes nre from the Sweet Drain garage, and three from the I-ane Auto company. Clyde l'lsk, one of the proprietors of the I.ane Auto company, has said he intends to presa charges against them. The youths, traveling by automobile, are said to have entered both garages for "reiMiirs" to their machine, and while they browsed around among other cars and took what caught their eye. They allayed suspicion of garage men, tUHording to the story told Sheriff Stu-kels, by asking to be permitted to use the washrooms and instead of enter ing them put in their time uround the cars in the buildings. Names- of the five, as given to the police, are: B.irl Russell. Edgar Xf. and H. O'Houckc, Hoy Anderson and Herman Meude.
