The two have admitted to burglaries in Windom, Wilder, Heron Lake, Dundee and Fulda. In Fulda, they were caught in the act by Police Officer Emil Sell who proceeded with a car chase long enough to get the license number which led to the arrest. The loot was recovered from its hiding place in the potato bin of an abandoned farm house north of Mt. Lake. Recovered were 60 bottles of whiskey, 200 packs of cigarettes, $80 cash, six and one-half cases of beer and auto accessories.
