Flint, Mich, Apr 17 - Thomas Bauhn and Bert Soper, who were arrested at South Lyon on Wednesday evening and lodged in the jail in Pontiac on suspicion of being the parties who burglarized a hardware store at Coopersville on the night of April 6, have been turned over to the sheriff of this county, who has been after the pair for the past two weeks for a burglary committed at Richfield Center. Two pairs of shoes and two outfits of clothing were found on the prisoners. They admit their guilt and waved examination when arraigned in justice court this morning.
