Auto Thief Headed Toward Logansport When Last Heard of.

The stolen Warren-Detroit 30 auto, which has been leading the officers of Kankakee, 111., a merry chase the past few days, was seen at Francesville after leaving here last week in the hands of the thief, Billy Edwards, whose suspicious actions, both in trying to beat a gas

bill and to sell the car at a great sacrifice, aroused the suspicions of the villagers,' who notified the authorities. Before* the men arrived the machine had left for Logansport, presumably, Edward having asked the way to that town from bystanders. The Kankakee officers were out on his trail in a swift car and were expected to take him and the machine at any time.
