It hpapens that parking is forbidden on the nerth side of the street, but they did not see the sign, ee One yarn ‘lead to, ‘another and they were recalling old times, one old time after another, and when they came down at the end of a couple of hours or so, their Packard readster was gone. They notified ‘Chief of Police Robson, the . sheriff. and a good many other’ . people oftheir loss, and then. went to bed at the National Hotel, hoping the car would be pieked up somewhere. They Teft st bus enrty yesterday morning. : It happened that City Clerk G. Galanan, noticed the car parked on the, wrong side of the street, hampering traffic, so finally, being a city official, and, as everyone knows, a Good Samaritan at heart, he finally moved the car just around the corer on Spring street, thereby saving the two an appearance before the city judge, and also assisting in keeping the street clear for traffic. . ~ But the sad part of this little , story is that, when he learned Dobie had sent ont notices that bis car was stolen, the city ‘clerk felt that he just. had to take that car down to Sacramento, But anyway it was a nice ride and a good ~car.
