The way it was 6/10

100 Years Ago -- June 10, 1903

The scoundrel who broke open J.A. Daly's barn and stole Mr. Daly's valuable draft team was still enjoying his liberty according to the last reports received here this morning. Chief of Police Moore had the gentlemen who joined in the chase followed the thief into Fort Scott, Kan., and were only one hour behind him. All the way to Fort Scott, the officers tracked the team and found people who had seen the fellow driving west in the direction of Fort Scott. When the officers reached Fort Scott, they thought that their man probably stopped there to rest the team and some two hours were spent in searching the town but not finding any trace of the team or man.
