Auto Stolen From Barn.

Emil Zenft, who owns a Buick au-
tomobile went to his barn early We'd
nesday morning to get his auto and
he found the car gone. He went TO
the house and inquired of his son II
he had taken it or rented 1t to some
one, but the son did not know any
thing of the affair. He then notified
the local police and they after some
inquiries located the machine by the
side of the road. Whoever took the
car after taking gallon can OF
gasoline drove 1t through the neigh
boris yard, tearing down a couple OF
fences. Although not definitely
known 1t is thought that the robbery
took place about two o'clock a. m.
as the neighbors claim they heard a
noise about that time. The car was
placed in the barn by the owner
about seven the evening before.
The object of the would be rob

the driver did not know very much
about driving car as he used the
batteries to run the car to the spot
where it was found. There they be-
came so weak that they refused to
give the spark of life to the engine
This act enabled the right owner TO
again recover his car.
Although the guilty party is not
known for sure there are several UNI

there will be some arrests in the
