WHO FLED HOME
Florence KOOntz, Who H a d
Been Missing Since Satur-
day Night is With Friends of
Her Mothers.

Florence Koontz. the 15-year- old
girl who left the Orphans home al
Mshawaka Saturday, did not commit
suicide by jumping in the st. Joseph
river. neither was she murdered and
thrown in the river nor was she alb
Quoted by persons responsible for her
condition. it being alleged in printed
reports yesterday that she was soon
to become a mother.
Instead Florence koOntZ. who left
the OrOphans' home Saturday of her
own accord, was fully dressed and not
"clad in nothing more than her under
clothes" as was reported She went
TO the home of Mrs Lille A. Shaw, liv-
ing on Logan St, near the Orphans
home and has remained there since
she left the orphan institution.
The KoOntZ girl was the principal
witness in the trial of Officers Ray
Bowman and A. Kline, who were dis
missed from the police department re-
Gently after they had been found at
the Bowman home one night while
supposed To be on duty. At the time
the policemen were caught the Koontz
girl was at the Bowman home, which
neighbOrs claimed, was not being ope-
rated properly.
Acting Chief of Police William Lam
dis of Mishawaka stated last night
that the story that the Koontz girl
left the Orphans home Saturday night
in scant attire is false as is the report
that she is about to become a mother.
Instead the Shaw family 10 whom the
girl went after leaving the Orphans
home are anxious TO take the girl into
their home and keep her according to
Lands.
Juvenile officer w. T. Miller last
night refused TO make any comment
on the case other than that the girl
had been found and was in good
hands. 1t was stated last night that
Mr.. Miller had given his consent to
the request of the Shaw family that
they be given the care of the girl. The
Shaws are good friends OF the girls
mother who is said to be in Michigan
and are willing to be responsible for
the child.
The Koontz girl was above the age
of children kept at the Orphans home
having been taken there from the
county Jail where she was under the
care of the matrOn after her arrest in
connection with the Bowman Kline
affair The proposal of the Shaws to
adopt the girl has solved the problem
of her disposition and relieved the
county OF her care.

by British GOvernment-FOr
Use in War Zone.

The possibility that the South Bend
Motor Co. will secure a contract To
construct upwards of 500 auto trucks
for New York firm representing the
I British government in London, became
imminent in the past few days in the
order of the British concern for a
sample three and one-half ton am
munition truck. The local company
has been working for several weeks
upon a three-fOurths ton light field
ambulance and a one and one-half ton
utility truck.
No contract has been signed be-
tween the contracting parties save for
samples of each Of the models indi-
Gated. Representatives of the British
government have been in the city to
examine the models completed and
according tO members of the local
firm, have highly praised them
The favorable attitude taken by the
English representatives has caused
the motor company to be optimistic
as TO their chances Of eventually land
ing all three contracts. To fully car
~ out the demands of the company
which has ordered the samples, il was
said the South Bend company would
be compelled TO sign papers calling for
the construction of 80 cars of each
model every month.
Within the next few days samples
of each model viii be shipped to New
Y Ork and from there to London In
London they will be subjected TO the
tests of the British government. which
are said TO be of the severeSt sort.
However. it is felt by prominent mem
bers of the local concern that the ears
will be able TO stand the most grinding
tests.
The city OF Logansport has ordered
from the South Bend Motor Car Co.
a com bination hose and chemical wa
gon, six cylinders and of 12O horse
power. The truck will have a speed
of 5S miles per hour. The order is
the result of a recent trip to this city
of the LoganspOrt board of public
safety and other city officials, at
which time a tour of inspection was
made over the plant Of the motor COM
pany.
Other cities which have ordered fire
trucks from the local concern are
Manitowoc. Wis, and independence,
Kan. The former city ordered four
cylinder, g. horse power combination
hose and chemical wagon. with a
speed Of 80 miles an hour. The other
city ordered a pumping engine with a
capacity OF throwing of 500 gallons of
water minute. The engine is mount
ed on a heavy chassis fitted with a
six cylinder. 140 morse power engine.
This type of truck is one Of the larg-
est and most powerful made by the To-
cal company.
