Decatur County Journal Leon, Decatur County, Iowa Thursday, March 21, 1912 A VISIT AND A THEFT. Raymond Jenkins, formerly of this city, now residing with his parents at Gentry, Arkansas, came in last Saturday morning to visit a few days with friends in this city. He met with quite a loss while waiting at the depot in Kansas City for a train, a sneak thief getting away with his fine baritone horn, his suit case and camera, which he left in a seat in the depot. He was only away from them a few minutes and when he returned they were gone, and no trace of the thief. The loss was considerable, the property being valued at about $125.
