John Williams, of Webster, was in the city Monday and reported to the sheriff's office the theft of about twenty-five bushels of apples from his farm some time Sunday night.

Mr. Williams says that he had picked the apples up and placed them in crates ready to be taken away for sale. The thieves evidently entered the orchard with a wagon, the tracks of which were plainly seen this morning, and loaded the crates containing the apples into the wagon and drove away.

Mr. Williams places his loss at about $100 and has no clue to the thieves.

I read the OCR text first and was sooo confused that the apples were stolen from his arm. I had many, many questions!

What a day for crime! Imagine, driving away on your wagon, eating your apples and smiling. And with inflation, $100 is worth a LOT more than you might think.
