EVIDENTLY H. C. OF L. IS PRESSING THEM HARD.

Enter the gasoline thief! • C. P. Wright, residing on South McKinley avenue, had some uninvited guests at his home, or rather his garage, Wednesday night. Two men appeared at his home about. 9 o’clock in the evening and their suspicious actions aroused the curiosity of Edward Kanne, who was on his way home. The two men left their car sitting in front of the Wright residence and when Mr. Kanne saw them they were in the garage. Upon reaching home Mr. Kanne telephoned Mr. Wright and t-jld him what he had seen. Mr. Wright went ' outside and the men got into their i car and drove away. Later the men ' drove up to the Lowe residence, just south *of where Mr. Kanne lives, and left their car standing there, walk'ing on up the street to the Wright • residence. Mr. Kanne notified the marshal, and made preparations to capture the men. However, Mr. Wright had discovered them at his hoirie again in the meantime and the men took to their heels before the arrival of the marshal. ! It is thought that they were on 'a hunt for gasoline, as Mr. Wright’s gasoline can was missing, and nothing else was disturbed.
