containing over $200 worth of cloth
ing and personal effects, and not on
ly was the grip lost, but in a very
peculiar manner.
Mr. Gabriel started out to drive
Mrs. Wilson to Portland, and had
placed the grip on the runningrboard
of the machine while in front of the
Gabriel candy 'store on Seventh
street. He forgot to put the grip m
the car, and had driven a few blocks
when the loss was discovered. Gabriel
searched carefully over the back
route, and when he arrived at the
store, a clerk told him that another
car had stopped and one of the pas
sengers got out and picked up tha
grip. The car then was driven off
very rapidly. The clerk says
that he remembers two numbers on
the car, and an effort will be made
to trace the owner and recover tha
suitcase.
The night police searched many
strange cars last night, but could net
discover the case. A lookout ia
being kept on the second hand shops
here and at Portland for the missing
grip and contents, with the idea in
mind that if the finders of the suit
case are dishonest, they will attempt
to dispose of the grip.
