Stolen Ford Traced to Winston-Salem, June 29, 1925

A 5-passenger automobile was stolen off the main street, (B street) Monday 29th. It was traced to Winston-Salem by John Roop and Deputy Sheriff Will Bauguss and E.M Hutchison. They learned that the parties sold a new chain for a quart of oil and 5 gallons of gasoline at Roaring River and learned who the parties are and that they had hid the Ford there and stopped with a relative, probably intending to leave for West Virginia. No arrests were made just then and the officers returned to Wilkes that night.
