POLICE RECOVER TON
OF STOLEN ONIONS
Onions Stolen in Usborne Township
Wound Dumped on Sideroad in
Stephen Township
On Friday! of last weefy around a
ton of Dutch set onions in crates
that had been stolen from the farm
of Mr. Fred Ellerington in Usborne,
and the property of Mr. Chas. ,Mon-
teith, were found piled beside the
road on a sideroad several miles
west of Exeter.
Earlier in the week Edgar and
Alvin Durr, and Kenneth Morley, of
Parkhill, were placed under arrest
charged with theft in Stephen. Twp.
and it is believed that they were
connected with the Usborne theft
and that following their arrest the
onions were dumped upon the side
road.
When arrested, the police state,
Edward Durr had in his possession
a small notebook containing the
diagrams of the layout of many
farms of» the district. Each dia
gram showed the easiest method of
approaching the farm and just what
store of fruit, vegetables, wood, pig
pen or chicken coop cculd be raided.
The layout of the Ellerington farm
is said to have been in Durr’s book
with “onions” marked on it. Police
are at present in the dark as to how
and when the onions were dumped
at the sideroad.
The three Parkhill men were ar
rested in a raid on Monday of last
week. They are alleged to have
stolen eight pigs, 50 hens and two
bags of grain from the farm of Em
mery Gaiser in Stephen Twp. They
appeared before Magistrate J. A.
Makins, of Goderich, on Friday af
ternoon charged with breaking, en
tering and theft and they were re
manded for a week without plea or
election and will appear again on
Thursday next. The case was hoist
ed at the request of D. R. Nairn, de
fense solicitor, who was unable to
be present.
The diagrams in Durr’s book
showed that his ramifications ex
tended over many miles ats farms
near Chiselhurst and Mitchell were
designated.
