Dyer Saloon Keeper Calls on Sheriff to Recover Automobile.

Sheriff Hoover was in the north end of the county Saturday in search of a 7-passenger Halliday automobile, which a Dyer saloon keeper desired to locate. A young man by the name of Tuttle, living near Wheatfield, recently made the acquaintance of the Dyer saloonkeeper and represented himself as an expert chauffer. He told the Dyer man, it Is alleged, that there was big money in buying and selling second hand automobiles, and the saloonkeeper finally furnished the money to purchase a machine. Tuttle bought a machine and turned it over to the saloon man, who was later induced to give Tuttle $475 with which to purchase another car that he knew of, and which Tuttle said was a great bargain. Tuttle later turned up with a 7-passenger Halliday car, but soon disappeared with it, and the saloonkeeper appealed to the officer^ to locate it for him.

Sheriff Hoover finally located it in a barn at Tuttle’s father’s farm near Wheatfield. All four tires were missing and the car was In a badly delapldated condition. Tuttle agreed to turn it over to the saloonkeeper and he was not arrested. As soon as some new tires can be procured the car will be returned to Dyer, and the saloonist will attempt to sell It for enough to compensate him partly for the money he confided to Tuttle.
