AMATEUR AUTO
THIEVES STEAL
MAXWELL CAR
ROLLED DIR. STUKES' CAR SEW
ERAL BLOCKS But BEING UN.
ABLE TO GET 1T STARTED. De-
CLDED TO STEAL BASS MACHINEI

Automobile thieves, evidently anna
teurs at the business, too, attempted
to steal DR.. J. T. Stukes Maxwell car
and did roll the machine from near
his office in the Commercial q Fy Bank
building to a point near the Atlantic
Ice & Coal corporation plant on
Spring street, where it was abandoned,
the would-be thieves being unable to
start the motor The two men engag-
ed in the attempt talked with a mill
ary policeman near the point where
the car was abandoned, and one of
them even came up to the city and
bought a gallon of gasoline from a
drug store, which was emptied into
the tank in the belief that the car
would start if there was sufficient
gasoline aboard
DIR. Stukes missed the car soon after
it was moved from beside the bank
building and began a search for it,
but chanced not to go in the same
direction taken by the thieves. If he
had done this the men would easily
have been overtaken and, of course,
arrested. In their efforts to start the
motor, the would-be thieves managed
to damage the car considerably, the re-
pair bill costing a good deal more than
the gallon of gasoline they poured
into the tank, according to Dr. Stukes.
Later in the night. the Maxwell car
belonging to E. E. Bass, of Leslie, dis
appeared from in front of the Windsor
barber shop. and it is believed this
was stolen by the same thieves who
unsuccessfully attempted to drive DR..
Stukes' car off
