An empty whiskey bottle was left on the bridge, supposedly to indicate the sort of animals that were traveling in a stolen vehicle The machine was easily tracked owing to its narrow tires. It was traced south from Pulsaki and thence in this direction until it was found standing in front of Vet Young’s residence. The radiator had frozen and pipes'bursted, and another empty whiskey bottle was left in the-machine. A bicycle was left at the Engle home, which was no doubt stolen by the chaps who took the auto.
