STOLEN FORD CAR RECOVERED

Thief Gets Cold Feet end Leaves Webber Car Near Grain Office. John Webber drove his Ford car up to the Monon station Saturday to meet the 11:18 train. He'parked the car near the station and went into the depot, being there for some little time before the train came in. When he went out to drive back to town he found his car gone. The officers were notified and neighboring towns were telephoned to for the officers to be on the lookout for the car. Nothing was learned of it, however, until Suarfay morning, when it was found parked near the W. C. Babcock grain office, and it was ascertained that it had been there part of the afternoon Saturday. It is thought that a stranger who had been seen hanging about the station during the forenoon Saturday drove the car away, but why he finally left it where it was found is a mystery. The car was not damaged and Mr. Webber was very glad to get it back again, although he carried insurance that would partially compensate him for its loss.
