RECOVERED HIS FORD.
Farmer Thought His Car Stolen
Sheriff Ellingson Locates 1t.

Last week Monday afternoon q
we'll known farmer came to Decor.
ah in his Ford car and parked the
machine on West Main street near
the former Allison corner recently
purchased by ST. Benedict's Catholic
church. That evening when the Ford
owner went to get his car where he
left it the car was gone and visions
of auto thieves illumined the hor-
lion. Sheriff Ellingson was notified
that night by the owner of the Ford
but the latter could not remember
the cars license number or engine
number, consequently the sheriff
was somewhat up against hard
proposition to locate the car,Swhen
Fords are thicker than bumblebees
in clover pasture.
Nevertheless, early the next NOR
ming Sheriff Ellingson started out on
hunt for the Ford, and he wasn't
long in locating it,, either. The
sheriff went to the place the car had
been left and observed fresh tracks
where car had been run out; he
followed the tracks to the corner of
the church property, where they
TUNED up towards Broadway, and
there in the middle of the block in
front of the Jayne residence stood
Ford, which proved to be the lost
one. The owner was telephoned to
and came to town, and the little old
ford rambled Off with him like all
good Fords do.
The car had been moved from
where the owner left it by Street
commissioner Frye, who was fixing
Main street up, and he concluded |

What the owner could locate it easily.
