Trouble Over Hock

A man whose coat was in hock in this city for some time wrote to Sheriff Turner to have the man who had taken it out arrested for the theft of the coat. The sheriff made some inquiries and found that Louis Peterson who had lifted the coat had done so at the request of Erick Benson who not only gave him the orders to do so, but who refused to pay the money he had spent in redeeming the same.
