The driv- er was seen to abandon the auto and disappear. The police remov- ed the machine to the station and impounded it. This morning the owner called up and inquired of the Chief if he had come across a Chevrolet sedan. We sure have, replied the Chief, and we want the owner. The latter re- oorted shortly after. He claims his car was stolen, but thespolice cannot understand! why the theft was not reported sooner. In any event William Sproule will tomor- row morning in police court face a charge of leaving the scene of an accident. He denies he was in the car. Several witnessed a man walk away from it following the` double crash. I --`Night `School re-opens, Barrie Business `College. Monday.
