A warning was left with the proprietors of the garages in which the cars were found to notify the sheriff's office if anyone attempted © remove them. | During the afternoon the sheriff's office was notified that one of the cars y4ad been called for at the garage where it had been left. One of the Meputies responded and placed the man under arrest. He claimed to he the owner of the machine and to veri- fy his statement he was taken to the garage.

The man who took his own car from the garage persists that he used a key to the front door in obtaining entrance. Runners-up In Tennis Tourney Are Determined PINEHURST, N.
