At milking time yesterday morning it was discovered that all the sheriffs cow feed of beet pulp , kept behind the county jail had been stolen. The snow had melted the snow to the consistency of what is known as a 'tracking snow' and chief of Rural Police, O.L. BRADY and Deputy Sheriff B.B. BROCKMAN, took up the trail. After following the tracks to a building on Wofford street, they found Coleman in the act of feeding some beet pulp to a cow which he was ready to milk.
