LOST CAR MYSTERY.
Chief PilIins Was Trying to Restore
Missing Automobile.

Night Oficer John Gordona was con-
siderably interested during the early
Eours of Thursday morning to deter
mine why a touring car, with lights
out, had been standing near the rail-
road station all night. He reported
the matter to Chief Pilling at a. M,
and thereupon started the plot in what
proved to be about four-reel mystery.
Chief Pilling gave directions that the
car be taken to a local garage, desig-
mating a particular one: Some time
after the first information about the
car Chief Pilling received a call from
a prominent citizen stating that his
automobile had been stolen from his
garage during the night, this feature
being considered as the second reel of
the drama.
The car owner discovered the theft
when he went out to get the machine
to go to business. He did not delay
reporting the matter, but after think
ing a minute he recalled that he had
driven the car uptown the night be-
sent-mindedly going home without II
This he didn't report to the police, but
went up and got the car.
After a time. (fourth reel stuff
Chief Pflling came down town, to look
up the reported strange car and the
enc reported stolen. He found no car
at the station, so went to the garage
where he ordered IT sent. The garage
people hadn't seen any car nor did
they know anything about it. With
all Of this Sherlock Holmes mfxur
making him dizzy, Chief PiIiiney was al
q loss TO fathom the tang1e of facts
for time, but word that slipped
around later made the whole thing
clear and very much of a joke. which
