A. c. Foster, local dentist, came in
sharp contact with southbound street
car near the Seminary street intersec-
tion yesterday afternoon, with resulting
damage to the automobile. DR.. Foster |
was coming out of Seminary street when |
his auto brought up suddenly against |
the front end of the street car. The |
conductor brought his car to a halt, and |
the runabout also stopped The dentist |
was uninjured, but the radiator and one |

After missing his car from leanto in

clue or two that had developed. The
auto, a Ford touring car, was left under
the shed last night. This morning it was
gone. Mr.. Lane was unable to decide
whether he was the victim of a joke or
whether someone who had stolen the ma
chine had placed a safe distance between
the car and the shed. Early this after
noon the mystery remained measurably '
deep, although the car was found, aban
ioned on lower North Seminary street. 4

eloped the information that berry or =
hards on the west hill had been robbed l.
