Tuesday night was a poor time for auto thieves in this place, it seems, for the rain made the getting away difficult. Oliver Godfrey's car was taken and was found in front of the Gulledge home stuck in the new sewer ditch. The car of Archie Duncan was taken and it was also found stuck in a ditch. The car of Stanley Duncan was also found stuck in the mud. Mud is good for something.
