Will SURBER, Mose CRUEY and Jeff MEYERS, young Pounding Mill citizens who stole R.K. GILLESPIE'S ford last Saturday night, were captured at Broad ford Monday by Policeman H.E. SHAMBLIN of Pounding Mill and H.G. GILLESPIE. The supply of gasoline became exhausted at a point beyond Jeff GILLESPIE'S in the west end of the county, and the car was abandoned, and the youthful auto thieves were making their way afoot when overtaken by the officer. They were brought here to jail.
