STOLEN CAR DISCOVERED
From the sarcoxie Record.

From the Safc0Xle RECORD.
The Buick roadster, stolen from N.
C. Spencer's garage more than two
weeks ago, was discovered by its
owner at Tulsa, Okla, last Sunday.
The car was in the possession of a
dealer in salvaged cars, who claimed
to have bought the car from man
giving his name as Virgil Holden.
The dealer said he paid $50 for the
car and complied with all the legal
requirements of the laws Of Okla
homa before salvaging it. He had the
car wrecked when Mr.. Spencer came
on the scene accompanied by a Tulsa
detective.
From the description given of Vir-
gil Holden, Mr.. Spencer believes this
was an alias for Cloe Vandergriff,
known in SarcoXie in connection with
the burglary of the Hoffman cloth
ing store. Vandergriff was out on
parole from the state reformatory at
Boonville and is now in jail at Baxter
Springs on a charge of being connect
ed with two others in the robbery of
a garage in that town.
Connecting these threads of ext
dence together, Mr.. Spencer believes
that Vandergriff, accompanied by
two pals came to Sarcoxie in Stude-
baker car, stolen from Joplin with the
intention of committing another rob
berry. The Studebaker punctured a
tire and he was forced to abandon the
robbery. Then he took the Spencer
car and drove it to Tulsa where lie
sold it to the dealer.
These suspicious, with certain Facts
which he has been able to gather
while searching for his machine, mas
been laid by Spencer before the dis
trict attorney at Tulsa, supported oy
a sworn affidavit. Spencer hopes 10
get action against the dealer for the
recovery of the lost car with dam
ages. He feels somewhat at loss as
how to deal with the case. Tulsa is
quite distance from here and litiga-
tion is expensive. He says he is de-
termined to do all he can to bring JUS
tice to those concerned in the theft
and subsequent wreckage of his ma
chine.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife
replenishes her supply of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
certain to be needed before the winter
is over and results are much more
prompt and satisfactory when : it is
kept at hand and given as soon as
the first indication of a cold appears
and before it has become settled in
the system. There is no danger in
giving it to children as it contains no
opium or other harmful drug.
