A Trick In q Tunnel.
[Chicaso Tribune.l

An annoying practical joke was played on
q bashful young man who was accompanying
a young lady on a journey. While going
through tunnel friend knocked off the
bashful young mans hat, forced his fingers
through his hair, kissed the back of his own
friend, and then slapped his own face
violently. Every one in the car looked in
that direction when the light came, and the
friend was apparently the most surprised of
all. The musSed-up appearance ard con-
fusion of the astonished victim convinced the
spectators that he had tried to steal a kiss
AID had been slapped. The young lady un-
derstood the situation and blushed painfully.
The friends got off at the same station, a
rough -and-tumble followed, and the practical
ECKER was whipped.

we failed to rote the acts of Aliens
bloodthirsty pursuers. After the
would. be- lynchers had collected they
started pell nell down the street, and
stopping at the home of colored
man named Fred. Phillips, where
Allen was supposed TO be concealed,
they commanded the occupant to
open the door. Phillips, believing
they meant violence to him, refused
to do so. The mob then broke down
the door. Several of them entering
with drawn revolvers were confronted
by Phillips, who was armed with
double barrel shot gun. He was just
about to shoot when hasty explana-
ton was made. Allen was not found
here. The mob then proceeded to
Aliens home, at a place known as
Bethel Hollow. The leader pressed
a pistol close to Mrs. Aliens heart
and demanded the whereabouts of
her son. She did not know and 30
stated. After searching the residences
of Messrs. Bond and Anderson, at
Cokesbury, the now outwitted mob
dispersed as daylight approached. An
active search for Allen was main
tanned until yesterday, when he was
arrested at Rising SUI, Md. Thor
oughIy disguised as he was, he failed
to elude the detective.
Allen was lodged over night in the

prevent all attempts at lynching. The
