When is a gift not a gift, was demonstrated Saturday, the wedding day of Miss Alice Cheek of Henderson and Mr. W. Ransom Sanders of this city when the handsome new Lincoln automobile, the gift of the bridegroom to his bride, was stolen before the bride had time to accept it.
Joe Means, a colored man of this city who had been in the employ of the Sanders family for some time, had driven the car to Henderson, and it is thought that he made away with the car. Means is missing, and circumstances point that way. A message received here yesterday morning from the sheriff of Dinwiddie County, Virginia, stated that such a car had been found in Dinwiddie Court House, and the car was sent for at once. It was not reported whether Means had been apprehended or not.
