Not having driven his car to the
office for some months, usually rid

ing. G.. A. Stensland forgot last night
that he had brought his machine
down town al noon yesterday. When
night came he had the usual invita-
ton 10 ride home with his neighbor
and accepted it.
ON awaking this morning he began
wondering what he had done with his
machine. Realization came to him
that he had left il on the street, but,
as he told a reporter. he Appreciated
nothing more serious than hat a
night police might take care of il for
him. When he came down this
morning he thought that that dispo-
sition had been realized. Inquiry of
officers, however, failed to get trace
of It,. 1t was later found i'm the
square at the courthouse.
Mr.. Stensland says he does not
known where that car went during
the night. There's some mystery
about i'd. He looks at the machine
with something OF wondering awe to-
day. trying vaguely to imagine the
experiences Of wild life the thing
went through last night. The ma
chine itself Is saying nothing. but
from it's look of meek resignation it
only journeyed sedately from where
