There was probably never a more thrilling automobile race in th his tory of Toole county. Four cars were entered-—a Ford, Studebaker, Hupmo bile and Chrysler.

After passir g the j time of day, Cox offered to sell Hold erb y a late model sedan Chrysler for J *050.00. "How can you do itî" said Holderby. In a whisper he told his prospective buyer that it was a "hot one." He added that the number and everything was changed and an Al ' bill of sale accompanied the car. Holderby was a few minute* later a car from Sweet Grass and one from Sunburst a year ago. In July and August of last year two cars were! stolen in the town- he meniionea. j One was stolen from E. R. Holderby. Among other things, arrangements were made between Holderby and Cox to have the Chrysler delivered the Auto Thief Mains Getaway Fran Police told that, we, Cox and others, lifted ( i following night a t 12 o'clock in Sweet Grass. Naturally Holderby was hot under the collar. Here was the man, who ; wi t hnnt qnestlo n . w as otie of t he THO r -~~Bv ty that had stolen his car a year be fore, and in turn wanted to sell him "Iwt one." j The next morning Sheriff Daley was notified of the fact, and arrange ment's were made to put on a "little party" for Cox. but for reason, un known, Cox did not appear on the!laat schedule time^ and things fell flat. | Takes Nerve to Drive Falls Bed Sunday Nights j On an the Falla road there were two The first occurred shoot 9:1S P.
