NO TRACE OF STOLEN CAR

So far no clue of any Importance
has been obtained as to the thieves
who stole the car from Mr.. S. D.
Thacker's garage on Wednesday
night of last week. The car was
pushed by hand from the garage
into Mr.. Coughanour's mill yard
as was evidenced by the tracks, be-
fore being cranked up and driven
away. No trace whatever was dis
covered until last Sunday when
Postmaster Bowman was on his
way to the ranch and stopped by
the Richardson prune orchard to
look at the crop, and by chance dis
covered one of the license tags in
the weeds by the fence. Later Sher-
iff Jefferis found the other tag
near the same place, which is quite
evident the thieves have switched
license tages and are making their
getaway into another state.
