LEADS To SEARCH

MESA, Sept 3.-Mesa officers were

automobile from Main street in broad

who supposed he had another machine.
Jack Weiss wanted to make a trip
to Chandler and prevailed upon man
named Standage to lend him his Chand-

place of taking the Standage car, as he
supposed he was doing, he took a

was gone and the natural supposition

that he had taken the Tway machine
by mistake.
