MYSTERY OF STOLEN
AUTOMOBILE STILL
BATTLES OFFICERS

No trace has as yet been found OF
Dr. Walton Hopkins Chandler road
ster. which was stolen yesterday
morning from in front of the Emer-
gency Hospital while he was inside
dressing case.
A friend OF Dr.. Hopkins has since
told him that at about 10:45 a. N. he
saw the car being driven at furious
pace up King George street in the d.
rection OF the College Greek bridge.
but he naturally surmised that the
doctor was answering some hurry call
from a patient.
As Dr. Hopkins discovered his loss
almost as soon as the theft was made.
aEd TWO minutes later had notified the
Sheriff. who Immediately puI the po-
lice on watch. it was thought at first
that possibly the automobile had not
gotten out of town before the lookouts
were posted. but such was not the
case. Ii now seems as il the thief
must have taken the car out OF town
and turned of in one OF the side roads
before going very Iaf on lIe DdIl4hioi
boulevard and waited till night 10 take
the car up to the city
The car was insured against every
thing but theft. and this was not con-
sidered necessary as it was one that
DR.. Hopkins only used for his profes-
sionaI practice.
The robbery was such daring one
that it is to be presumed that the thief
was some one who was well acqualnt-
ed with Dr. Hopkins habits and had
counted on having an hour or so to
get away in. before the loss was dis
covered 1t was the merest accident
that led to its being known as soon as
Il was.
