WHOSE WAS IT,

Parties returning from Cynthiana
to Paris one night very recently
found an abandoned automobile, ly-
ing on its side near the approach Of
the Cooper's Run bridge. They left
their own machine. and upon making
an inspection of the overturned auto
found that the license tag. and the
tail lights had been removed, for the
purposes of preventing modification.
The machine was considerably
damaged, and had evidently been in
collision. The ground around
where the machine had turn
ed over was torn up for a short dis
lance, giving additional evidence that
there had been trouble of a serious
nature. The machine was removed
sometime in the night. as parties
who went out early the next morning
to look over the scene found the
machine missing. Whose was it? is
now the question.
