Earl Mahone's Stolen Ford Recovered, Nov. 18, 1920

About two weeks ago the Ford of Earl Mahone was stolen from in front of the Page Trust Co., at Hamlet, while Mr. Mahone was doing some night work in the bank. Last week while Dan Skipper was in search of lightwood about four miles east of Rockinham, he came across a Ford apparently abandoned. He on Wednesday reported the matter to Sheriff McDonald who went out and had the car brought to the city; investigation developed that it was the car stolen from Mr. Mahone. The thief evidently had hid the car with the idea of later making a get-away with it or selling it. (From the front page of the Rockingham Post-Dispatch, Thursday afternoon, Nov. 18, 1920)
