your action will be such as not to in

DAY IN DAVENPORT

Stolen Auto s Recovered Here
Davenport detectives succeeded in re-
covering a five-passenger Ford auto
mobile stolen from Fritz Hansen, q
Des Moines pool room proprietor, on
the night of June 3. Immediately after
the theft, notices were sent out to au-
thorities all over the United States,
apprising them OF the theft and offer
ing a liberal reward for the return OF
the car. Detective William Bishop
found the machine in possession of
Theo Wiley, proprietor of the livery
barn at 427 Brady street. Wiley told
the police he had purchased the car
from Hall Bros. garage, 42S East Sec
ond street. The latter was called to
headquarters and stated that on the
night OF the big storm-Thursday-
young fellow had brought the machine
into the garage, put up a hard luck
story about needing the money, and
had sold them the Ford for $3.50, of
which $40 was paid down ON the spot.
After some questioning, Hall Bros. ex-
hibited an unsigned letter received by
them, in which an anonymous writer
until 1t should be called for. The writ
er intimated that the car had been
stolen by a young fellow named Roy
II. Houston. who was thought to be in
hiding, either In Joliet or Chicago.
Hall Bros. were asked to make no re-
pairs or changes on the machine. In
this letter. the writer, who evidently
was on the INSIDE" stated that he
knew Houston had sold the machine
for only $40, instead OF the $3.50 claim
ed by the local garage owners. Hall
Bros. refunded the purchase price to
Mr.. Wiley and the machine was turn
ed over to its owner.
