Who Is the Owner
of This Metz Car?

The residents of West Barnet
are curious to know who is the
owner of the Metz automobile that
was discovered on the bank of the
stream about half way between
Barnet and West Barnet Friday
morning.
The car hangs over the bank
and is only prevented from drop
ping into the brook by a guy wire
of telephone pole. The car is
not damaged and there is no evil
dence Of collision, but up to
noon Friday no one had appear
ed to claim the property. No one
saw the car when it arrived. and
Henry Gilfllan, near whose home
the incident occurred, has no idea
of who is responsible for the con
dition of the car. He only knew
that the car had been left in its
rather hazardous position when
he happened to drive by the scene
Friday morning and found it
there. He saw no one about the
place, and the only evidence that
anyone had been there was the
fact that the car was there and
had been abandoned.
