A 1973 Ranchero stolen from an E. Fannin St. address in La Grange shortly before midnight Saturday was abandoned at Ellinger where it had run out of gas. Missing from Ellinger was a 1973 Monto Carlo containing several prized guns. Despite allpoints radio bulletins issued by the Fayette County Sheriff’s Department, the Monto Carlo had not been located by the following day. Sheriff’s officers said a prime suspect in the theft of the two vehicles was a young Louisiana man who sustained minor injuries in a Schulenburg traffic accident on Saturday morning. He disappeared from Fayette Memorial Hospital where he was being treated about 11:30 p.m. Saturday and had not been heard from since.
