Stolen Car is
Abandoned on
Platte Bottom
Ford Coune of W. E. Rosencrans
Taken Yesterday Morning;, but
Found Later on Highway
From Monday's Pailv
While V. E. Rosencrans. the well
known real estate dealer, was down
at Brookfield, Missouri, he was
blissfully unaware of the exciting
time that his Ford coupe was en
joying. The car of Mr. Rosencrans was
taken some time Sunday morning
from its usual parkins place at the
Rosencrans home in the north por
tion of the city and for several hours
after the discovery of the car being
missing, there was much excitement
to discover the whereabouts of the
ear.
It was not until last evening that
the mystery of the missing car was
revealed when it was found aban
doned along the highway north of
thi3 city on the Platte bottom. The
car was discovered by Ray McMaken.
who was passing in a truck and in
vestigated, to find the car to be that
of Mr. Rosencrans. He at once ge t
in touch with the members of the
Rosencrans family and learned of the
tact that tne car nau been missing
since morning. Mr. McMaken ac
cordingly brought the car back to
this city and restored it to the fam
ily. The tools as well as the spare tiro
and motormeter of the car were miss
ing and had evidently been taken by
the parties who had taken the car.
As it is, the owner feels fortunate
In getting the car back with as lit
tle damage as was done.
Mr. Rosencrans first heard of the
tragedy as it were, when he alighted
from the train in his return from
the successful business trip down in
the vicinity of Brookfield, Missouri,
r.nd was most agreeably surprised t o j
iearn tnat the car had been recov
ered and feels that 1926 is starting
out real lucky for him. Rosey has
had other startling experiences in
his career that has resulted in the
loss of many valued articles, having
at one time suffered a loss cf a
brand new overcoat while traveling
on the train from this city to Lin
coln and has become somewhat hard
ened to the visitations of the sneak
thieves. In the coat incident, Mr.
Rosencrans states that it was a
nifty model, purchased back in the
good old days when wool was wool
and not cotton and he had just pur
chased it when elected county clerk
and making the initial trip to Lin
coln decided to don the coat, wear
ing it proudly in the train where
$45 overcoats were then a real nov
cltv. He placed it on his seat and
later decided to take a smoke and
going into the smoking compart
ment enjoyed a smoke but returned
to find the coat missing and has
not yet ever heard of th1 missing
garment. After losing of a fine
overcoat the loss of a Ford would
cause little or no heartburnings.
Anyway Rosey has tho car back and
can again propel the old gas wagon
over the country in his real estate
work.

that of King George.

"On this same theory," he con
tinued. "I believe the car was empty
and that the thieves just shoved it
off in the hole. I canot see how any
one could have been in the car and
escaped injury from the way Sautter
described the condition of the car."
The deputy on his return, said he
was certain the car had been pushed
off into the hole. He said tracks of
the wheel are plain and that prints
indicate that several men had walked
around the spot where the car ran
off. The thieves, he said, took the
battery, but molested nothing else.
But. everything about the car is
smashed, he added.
Mr. BeaTs personal car was stolen
a few days before Christmas, when it

for his friends and relatives. It has
not been recovered.

by Miss Elizabeth Spangler.
The ladies had arranged the after
