five miles northeast of Montour.
Mr.. Bowe had left the car in front OF

use it again to meet guest at the
station. At II o'clock, when he went
to get the car, it was zone. Neighbors
saw the car being driven away at about
1855, but presumed Mr.. Bowe was in
the car.
Police, sheriff's officers, and the tele-
phone were engaged IN a nunt for the
car, and early this forenoon word from
the sheriff at Toledo said that Earl
Murty had found a car in the ditch
northeast of Montour. An investiga-

car. Mr.. Bowe and A. A. Moore went
after the car during the forenoon, and
a telephone message this afternoon
from Green Mountain said Mr. Bowe
was driving the car home. 1t had beer
ditched in the mud and one fender was
mashed.
People in the neighborhood where
the car was found reported that they
had heard the voices Of what they pre-
sumed to be young people, boys anc
girls, out for lark, driving in the di-
rection Of where the car was found
abandoned.
