Big Machine Stolen From Helen
Four Young Negro Bucks Used the
Automobile to Attend a Party »at
Quitman—Ran out of Gasoline This
Morning and Left the big Car in
the Swamp.
(From Tuesday's Dally.)
There are four young negro bucks
In the city prlr *oday charged with
stealing an p itomobile # rom the gar
age of H. <, McLendoi The ma
chine we used on a 'ip to Quit-
man anu was left lr swamp this
side of Blue 3pring*'-without water,
without gasoline—. .*d.
It Is supposed that it was the in
tention of the boys to get the ma
chine back to the garage before it
was discovered that it had been
taken out.
The big touring car, valued at
something like two thousand dollars,
Is said to have been taken by Dan
Etheridge, a negro boy who has been
working with Mr. McLendon. The
trip was thoroughly planned yester
day, the other boys being seen around
the garage during the ,day talking
to Etheridge and getting everything
in shape for the trip. Of course, Mr.
McLendon did not suspefct anything
then, but everything was perfectly
plain to him when he found out that
the big auto had been taken from
bis garage during the night.
He immediately set to work to lo
cate the car. He traced It along the
streets for some distance and became
convlrfced that it had gone toward
Quitman. After getting out of the
city the course was somewhat zig-
xagged, shewing that it was in charge
of some one who did not know how
to handle it
This morning Mr. McLendon got
C. -Wilson HHl am
•tarted out^n search of the thieves.
. At Klndo^Lou. they found two
and at Ousley they found two-
others. Two of the boys stated that
they were at Quitman and were only
coming back in the machine In the
place of two others who went
there In It. All of the boys said that
Etheredge told them that Mr. McLen
don had loaned him the machine to
go after clothes which were in Quit-
man. the other negroes going along
to show him the way.
The fact of the matter is that the
boys went to Quitman to attend a
negro festival last night. One or two
went over on the afternoon tr*4h and
when these new comers a;cived last
night about ten o’clock they stated
that they had some in a "mersheen.”

autolsts decl^r^d that he had never

A Road to Run From Atlanta to (Sum

Atlanta, Ga., July 7.—A survey is
now under way for the construction
of asurburban trolley line from At

new line will be about forty miles in
