Police Can't Find Owner Winnetka police are in a curious predicament. As the Chief says, "It's a horse on us." And that's literally true, for the department is the un- willing custodian of a horse which they cannot get rid of. The horse, a bay gelding in good condition, was found wandering about in the village some two weeks ago. Police escorted it to the Municipal Service yard, and proceeded to search for the owner. But no owner can be found, although police from Chicago to Waukegan have been notified. In the meantime the horse goes on eating at the rate of $2 a day. Expert opinion agrees that it will soon belong to the Vil- lage. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson K.

Mr. Bradstreet says this is indeed the ideal time of year to make a trip of this kind. He was especially loud in his praise of the wonderful improve- ments in the highways which have been made in the last few years.
