Clever Car Trader
Fools Auto Dealers

An interesting car story has de-
veloped from trade a week ago
last night by Holt and Hight, Buick
dealers, when they traded 1924
Oldsmobile sedan With a man who
said that his name was John Sher-
wood of Madison and that he was
employed in one of the mills of the
Great Northern Paper company, for
a 1925 Ford touring car. The man
paid SIS in cash and gave his note
for the remainder.
The man, who was about 80 years
Of age, weighed about 140, had dark
hair and round features, and wore &
brown suit with n white pencil stripe
and tan shoes, was bright and good
appearing, yet there was something
about him that aroused the suspicion
of Holt and Hight and they made in
quiry at the Madison mill from the
paymaster and learned that no sucn
man was employed there. They
also made inquiries at the Madison
post office and learned that no one
by that name received mail. They
then set to work on the case and
sent out letters and giving descrip-
lions of the man and telling of the
incident to sheriffS and chief of high
way police and to dealers.
Yesterday l.. w. Bean, Buick deal
er In PreSque Isle conferred with tbs
dealer in Madison about a man with
whom he had traded a new Buick
touring car at $1,000 and taken an
1924 Oldsmobile sedan and who maid
$500 on the balance. Holt and Hight
were notified by the Madison dealer
and they feel sure that the Oldsmo-
bile is the one which they traded to
John Sherwood. which is no doubt a
fictitious name, and hope that Bean
may be as successful in locating his
Buick.
Whoever the man may be he Is 4
good trader and with each trade he
gets more valuable car.
Fred Cookson of Madison, who was
apprehended Sunday evening by Of
hcer Hamilton for operating motor
vehicle while under the influence Of
Intoxicating liquor on the State
highway between Norridgewock and
Skowhegan, was before Justice
Withee Thursday and pleaded guilty.
He was given a fine of $500 and IS
costs. An arrangement was made to
pay.
