upon examination found that some
one had evidently tried to steal it.
He carries a lock on the self starter,

he was in the house. He found upon
examination that some one had made
a wreck of the starter in trying to get
the car going without the key Mr.

by cranking it, which could not be
done with the car locked. The police
were not notified. Mr.. Phillips had
his house broken into and robbed sew
eral weeks ago. The police were nOti-
fed at that time, but not in time to
do any of their celebrated stunts of
catching burglars.
