Several deputy sheriffs, the chief of
police and a few citizens were on the
lookout for a car bearing the Massachu-

Information was ~telephoned from Hall
fax that "a car bearing that number had
run over and killed a valuable Scotch
collie dog belonging to George c.. Cor
kins of that town and had not stopped
to see what m ge had been done. The
car apparently was headed for Brattle-
boro. but evidently it did not come this
way as the sleuths who were waiting at
several approaches to the town did not
see 1t. Lewis II. Lynde also had his
eye peeled for a Massachusetts car that
passed him at what Mr.. Lynde consid-
cred too last a speed on the Putney road.
When the car went past Mr.. Lynde called
to the drive to stop but he kept her
in the high" and did not even hesitate.
For more than an hour the Dummerston
man watched all the cars that came
down Main street, and visited the
garages, but did not find the car he was
looking for. He saw a machine on Ell
liot street which he thought was the one
he wanted, but after waiting 80 minutes
Tor the driver he looked a second time
at the number plate and discovered that
1t was a Vermont car with the same
lumber as that of the one he wanted.
