HARTINGTON - Edgar Yanacheak, 21, who was one of the trio arrested Tuesday by Sioux City authorities on a charge of stealing hogs, was a former Hartington resident, having driven a stock truck here. According to the story told of the arrest, Yanacheak in company with Milo and Leslie Krueger have brought to light a new method in “rustling” stock.
They were charged with driving from farm to farm, picking up a few hogs at each place and then selling them on the market at Sioux City. Their operations have taken them to all parts of Woodbury county.
They were sentenced to five years each in district court at Sioux City, on Wednesday. The arrest of this trio is expected also to lead to the arrest of the thieves who stole 42 head of pedigreed Jersey cattle from a farm near Leeds. This job was supposed to have been done by motor truck bandits.

WYNOT — Finis was written over the doorway of the First National Bank of Wynot last Thursday when all the books and records of that defunct institution were hauled out to the city dumping ground and burned. These books and records had been stored in the Hartington National Bank building for some time and included the daily cash journal, ledger, letter files, draft register, etc.
Earl Pickett hauled these records of a once flourishing banking house to their cremation, there being two truck loads, and Mayor Anthony Hirschman and M. K. Pollock officiated at the last sad rites.
The stuff made a tremendous fire and some say as the smoke and sparks ascended to the sky, the spirits of departed officers and depositors of the bank hovered near the scene.
The First National of Wynot was closed in 1927 and W. H. Allen was appointed receiver. the closed bank paid several dividends, the assets were sold two years ago.
