GET FINE CAR

The thief or thieves who stole
Frank w. Buffers fine new Buick
coupe last night or early Tuesday
morning, were more particular than
thieves sometimes are. for they run
nearly new Studebaker sedan out
of his stable and left it in the yard.
They were unable to move the coupe
without first moving the sedan. The
night Waterman covered his beat as
usual and saw nothing suspicious,
but Mrs. Fred l. Lindsay. who lives
in the next house to the Butler
home on Main street, heard a car
running and other slight noises
about 1.30 this morning. and this is
believed to be when the car was
taken. Officers were at once notified
and are working on the case. The
whole State has been notified of the
INERT but no trace of the car has yet
been found. The car is insured
against theft.

YALENTINO'S WILL
 MAY RE CONTESTED
But if It Appears All Right
 Brother Won't Protest

Los Angeles, Sept. 10 CR - The Times says a possible contest of the surprise" will of Rudolph Valentino is forecast by the an- nouncement that Alberto Gugliel- mi. brother of the dead actor, has retained attorneys here to look aft CT the interests of himself and his sister. The attorneys are to ex- anime the will today.
 If the document is the same as published, l think it is vague in strument," Milton I. Cohen, one of Guglielmi's attorneys, said. If it is a fair will 1 will not contest it."
 The will gives Teresa Warner, an aunt of Nalentino's second wife, Natascha Rambova, dancer, an equal interest in the estate with Alberto and Maria Guglielmi, who otherwise would have received the entire holdings of the actor, valued at approximately s1,0O0,000.
 Cohen pointed out that part of the will referred to oral instruc- tions given s. George Ullman, Val entino's business manager, as to the disposition of part of the estate. Ullman said that these instructions were not to be divulged at this time. He said he would tell them only in court, and, maintaining that the will was valid, declared that he himself had advised AL berto Guglielmi to engage an att torney, but that it did not mean a contest of the document.
 Nalentino's will is scheduled 10 be filed for probate today.
 Ullman said that an investm t made by him and Valentino m f. nancing a chemical invention by Arthur Lambert, consisting 'f q secret formula for extracting potash and nitrates from insolube rock and sand, is expected to add to the actors estate.
