MOVIE PLOT LETTER
RECEIVED BY SHERIFF
TELLS STRANGE TALE

wild ride through the night, Off
GERS of the law chasing fleeing band
its. miniature battle, and one man
left by his compa Mons to die, Is the
tale incorporated in a letter received
by Sheriff Glenn Carr recently. The
writer tells of a supposed cache" OF
40 stolen cars, and asks permission to
come search for his 'flivver," which
was among them.
According to the letter, the man had
heard that group of automobile
thieves recently was chased out OF
this city by the police. While they
were driving away at a furious rate,
the letter says, one of the group was
hit by bullet from the pursuing Of
ficers. AS he was apparently fatally
wounded, and his companions being
in no mood for delay at that particular
time, the wounded robber was tossed
over the side of the car and left to
die. The rest made their escape.
The wounded robber recovered. He
told strange tales of the activities of
the group. He even told of a hiding
place several miles from this city
where, he said, 40 stolen cars had
been secreted.
That was the tale told in the letter.
The writer, who lives in Brookville,
then went on to ask if he would be
permitted to search among this lot
of stolen cars for his own machine,
with the hope that his car would be
among them.
Sheriff Carr said Friday he would
answer the letter, but he did not say
whether Or not the writer would be
questioned further concerning the as
tonishing tale.

President Wilson Signs
Mining Assessment Bill
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Dec 31.-The bill
extending for six months the time in
which 1920 assessment work on mining
claims can be done was signed today
by President Wilson.
The bill, extends the six months per
iod in which miners must do annual
assessment work to the value of $10C
to continue their mining claims, was
expected today by senators and repre-
sentatives from the western states
While hopeful that the president
would sign the measure before mid
night, when the six months period
expires, the western delegations were
nevertheless in an anxious state OF
mind because failure of the bill to &c
into effect at that time, they said would
expose hundreds of mining claims to
claim jumpers.
