AUTOMOBILE THEFT RING
BELIEVED TO BE BROKEN
Harry Messenger, Preston COun-
ty, Arrested Near MorgantOwn
for Theft of w. A. Gender Car
HAD STOLEN IS AUTOS

The arrest of Harry Ed Messenger,
%, formerly of Kingwood, W. Va, for
the theft of Pontiac sedan belonging
to w. A. Gender, of Oakland, last
Wednesday night, is thought to have
broken up a ring of automobile thives
alleged to have been taking cars into
Pittsburgh, where they were disposed
of to a "fence."
Messenger was arrested last Thurs
day afternoon near Morgantown, W.
Va, driving the Gender machine, it
having been stolen from in front of
A. T. Matthew's home on Second
street.
Questioned by States Attorney w.
W. Dawson and Deputy Sheriff Clar-
ence Spear, of this county, and by
West Virginia officers, who made the
arrest, Messenger is said to have con-
fessed stealing thirteen automobiles
from persons residing in this county
and adjacent counties of West Virgin
ia. These cars, Messenger told the Of
ficers, were driven to Pittsburgh by
members of the gang with which he
was connected, where they were dis
mantled and the parts disposed of,
Police have suspected a firm in
Pittsburgh as being implicated in the
disposal of the stolen property, but
have not been able to definitely locate
it and Messenger would not disclose
the concern which specialized in this
sort of work. The gang is credited
with the theft of three automobiles
in Kingwood, one in Mount Morris,
Pa, and the Oakland car in the past
few months.
Messenger also stated to the officers
that in order to avoid suspicion he
placed pair of West Virginia license
plates on the stolen Pontiac. These
plates were also stolen, having been
taken from an automobile at Terra
Alta several months ago, the car be-
ing the property of Miss Dorthea Rim
pc. and the Maryland license plates
originally on the Pontiac, were placed
on a Ford, also stolen, which was to
be driven to Pittsburgh.
Messengers arrest by West Vir-
ginia troopers came after woman
had tipped them off to mysterious
looking fellow with new car" in
her neighborhood.
Mr.. Gender, district Hole ap-
praiser, owner of the Pontiac, said in
the car at the time of the theft were
a government camera, a brief case
filled with applications and valuable
Hole papers and records, and other
government property. Also inside the
stolen car were the personal belong
ings of Mrs. Gender and himself.
When the car was recovered it was
ascertained that the personal belong
ings of Mr.. Gender were in house
where Messenger had stopped, but
those of Mrs. Gender and the records
and papers were missing 1t is sus-
pected that the articles were divided
Immediately after the car had been
stolen.
Messenger is being held in the jail
at Kingwood on several automobile
theft charges. A look into his record
shows he was sentenced to the West
Virginia Penitentiary at Moundsville
about 1880 to serve five years for the
theft of an automobile. He escaped
in July, 1880, while working on road
gang. Three days later he was caught
by prison officials, but not long after
ward he was released on parole.

If you arc Ms happy ns ! hope you may be, you will indeed possess every blessing that this world can nf- ford.
 c. D. This must have been something of a surprise to Maria who prob ably had not expected such m abrupt termination of affairs, and quito likely Bho appeared to Mari anne Leigh for advice. If Bo, that designing young lady advised her | to "givo him aB good hB he sent" | He hnd returned nli hor letters:
 she should therefore send back this
 one of his, and without word. Maria Copies Ills Letter So Marin returned 1t, but bo- foro doing go she copied 1t very carefully and kept hcr copy with his ther letters. Tho fact that sho
 gave tho original to Kollc to hand back to him, without even putting it into m envelope mortified Dick. ems almost to tho point of dIBtrac- ton. Notwithstanding the tono of nnality in the foregoing lettor, tho impulsivo young couple were not quito through with each other. There was yet moro misery In
 stOro, possibly for both, but cer-
 tainly for the heart broken young Dickens. It Is reasonably sure that no girl In Mnria'a set ever received letters
 at all comparable to the rhetorical olI ,0ns sho received from this dc. jo, Il suitor. If in three short years tho whole public was to nc- claim him Englnnd'B most popular author, whnt effect must those carefully composed creations rom tho bnme pen hnvo hnd on a Bhal.
