Mulllns Enterprise. Heyward Owens, a reliable and trustworthy negro living on Nell Rogers' place east of Mullins, finds himself in a father peculiar position ?the possessor of a car whose owner j he does not know. It happened this I iway. About two weeks ago Heyward went fishing and while on the river l three cars drove up to his house, all filled wm{i white men unknown to his family. One of the cars, a Marlon-Hadley, with 1919 license tag, went out of commission, and after stripping the car of everything that was removable and loading on the other cars, the men told Heyward's wife to tell her husband to pull, the car under the shed and take care of it until they returned and then the party left. Nothing has been seen or heard of the men since. Now, Heyward says he thinks he haB taken care of the auto long enough as his housing room is rather limited, and wants the owner to show up. o 1 AUTOS WERE STOLEN GOODS Lumber-ton RobeBonian.
