.ENTICED HER TO LEAVE HOME
MISS ELIZABETH BELLMAN, DAUGHTER
OF DANIEL BELLMAN.
Left Ease and Comfort in Wyoming to AS
sist Two of Her Admirers to Sell Jewelry
Appreciated at Smyrna.

Saturday about eleven o'clock by
phone message from Daniel Bellman,
residing near Wyoming, constable p.
p. Collins arrested two men and a
young woman, the latter being his
daughter, with instructions to take
them before Esquire E. V. Cooper and
hold them until he could get here.
This was not until the four o'clock
train. 1t seems that a man from Will
mington named Bagley, had employed
Charlie Hillman of Philadell hia, and
the young women i'll question, Eliza
beth Bellman, to help him to sell
jewelry. They were in Leipsic on Fri
nay.
The young woman contended it was
not a case of abduction, that she had
been employed at S. per week and
board, was her own woman and did not
want to go back and be drudge while
her sister played the piano and enter
tanned visitors. The father contended
that she was not of age, making affi-
davit that she was not IS years old,
was an incorrigible, and that Bagley
was drunk and disorderly and enticed
her away. The magistrate tried to in
duce the girl to go home with her
father, but it was not until she was
told she would have to go to Jail and
wait until October, that she consented
to return with her father. Bagley
was held for the costs, about s.. OF
course the trial attracted a good many
persons about the squires Office as such
cases always do.

HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI RECEPTION.
Delightfully."- Held at the Residence of Mr..
and Mrs. W. A. FAIRIES, Thursday
Evening of Last Week.

Through the invitation of Mrs. Frank
L. Reynolds, of Clayton, the Alumni
Reception of the Smyrna High School
was held this year at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. FAIRIES.
The affair came off most successfully
last Thursday evening, and was apleas-
ant ending to the Week of Commence
ment Exercises, which had been going
on for several evenings previous.
The lawn in the rear of Mr.. FAIRIES
home on Main street was the scene of
a merry-making gathering of young
people. Wherever it was convenient
to hang a japanese or Chinese lantern,
it was so arranged, and these were sup
plemented with a number of easy
chairs, tete-a-tetes, rugs &C., filling
most every available place on the lawn.
1t was brilliant social gathering that
assembled there, and the occasion
was made all the more cheerful by the
quickening and enlivening strains of
the Watkins Orchestra.
Each member of the Association was
allowed to bring guest, including any
visitors that he or she might be enter
tanning. The attendance naturally
was very large. On entering the resi-
dence, they were received by Mrs.
Frank L. Reynolds, hostess, and the
officers of the High School Alumni As
sociation: Miss Bertha Smithers, pres
ident; Miss Margaret Robinson, vice
president; Miss Bessie Curry, secre-
tary, and Mr.. John Anthony, treas
urer. The Introducing Committee
was composed of Misses Katherine
Beckett, Marion Start, Beulah HAZEL,
Nina Wells, Helen Collins, Eba Wilds,
Clara West HAZEL, Blanch HAZEL,
Ethel Cooper and Mr.. Howard r.
Jones.
The members of the association com.
prised the Entertaining Committee,
and it is needless to say that they af
fOrded all a most delightful time. Re.
1feshments consisting OF Ice cream ano
cake were served under the direction
of Caterer Geo. NJ. Stevenson, as the
members and guests were seated on the
| lawn. Later in the evening, a rair
cloud made an unexpected approach
and caused much confusion for thu
time being. 1t broke up the Lawr
Fete proper, but not the merry times
for the scene was only changed from
the lawn to the house and the larg,
porch which surrounds it. There i
was that the guests were delightfully."-
entertained by the solo singing of Mis-
Ethel Solely, of Tioga, Pa, and thu
many catchy selections from the Wat
kins Orchestra.

At meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Fruit Growers National
Bank held yesterday, Mr.. Samuel
Cats was elected to the Presidency,
made vacant by the death of Hon.
John H. HOffecker.
There yet remains for the Board to
elect another director to make the full

filed at another meeting in the near
future. Mr.. Cats is credited with
being a good fnancier, as we'll as
experience in banking. He is a
shrewd, conservative business man, an
owner and manager of large property
interests, and will no doubt make the
Fruit Growers Bank an able and eff
ticient officer.

PASTOR HILLS CLOSE CALL.
WAS THROWN FROM A CARRIAGE NEAR
CECLTON,. MARYLAND.
He Went Thither to Look After His Farm,
and in a Runaway Both Wheels
Ran Over His Body.

Rev. G. A. Hill had a very narrow
escape of loss of life or limb on Friday
evening, but which was not known to
his Pensioners until the next after
noon, among whom an intense interest
was excited. Briefly stated the Incl
dent was as follows:
On Friday he procured livery team
and he and his son Charles rode down
to farm belonging to his wife, below
CeciltOn, Nd, where a new dwelling
is being built. He planned to be home
about 8 o'clock, leaving there at 6
O'Clock. The family was out in the
yard to see them off, and ere they had
gone fifty yards, the horse stumbled
and fell.
Mr.. Hill, seeing the animal was fall
ing, pulled hard on the reins, but in
stead of holding the horse up, both
reins broke near the bride. 1t was a
fearful position to be in; the animal
frightened possibly from fear of a Sc
we're stroke from the whip for STUN
bling, made an effort to regain its feet
and dash forward, but Mr.. Hill had
climbed out on the shaft to seize the
hitch rein on the bride, but this too
broke. In the violent exertions of the
horse Mr.. Hill could not sustain his
footing and was thrown to the ground,
falling under the feet of the animal,
the carriage passing over him. That
he should escape without broken bones
was the surprise of everyone and the
subject of congratulations.
Seeing the uncomfortable condition
of things, Charles slipped out of the
carriage at the rear, with nothing
worse than tumble in the dust.
While Mr.. Hill escaped without a
fracture, a finger of his left hand had q
nail torn fIom it, and he was otherwise
badly shaken up. His watch was torn
from the chain and found fifty feet
down the hill, with the stem windel
gone, but till running.
1t was needless to say he was in nc
condition to ride home that night, and
did not get home until near noon the
next day. He had to take to his bed
Those who knew of his condition die
not expect to hear him preach the mex
day, but at 1920 he was in his pulpi
with his left arm in sling, but with
out any allusiOn to the incident, he
preached forceful sermon from the
scriptural incident of the large catcl
of fish by Peter after toiling all night
and the reply of the Master addressed
to him: "Fear not, from henceforth
thou shalt catch men,"

the Young Men on Monday Evening.
AS a compliment to the visitors in
town, who have been entertained at
Smyrna Hospitality, since Commenc-
ment week, the young men of Smyrna
gave delightful impromptu dance in
their honor Monday evening, which

their bright and catchy selections were
met with hearty applause during the
evening. Dancing began shortly after

TWENTIETH CENTURY RECEPTION.
Delightful Evening at 1.-The LOcusts," the Home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. L. Beckett.

'The Locusts," the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph l.. Beckett ON south
Main street, was the scene of a very
pretty gathering last evening, where
the Twentieth Century Club of Smyrna
gave their annual lawn fete. Despite
the fact that the weather was uncom-
fOrtably warm and the mosquitoes
were very annoying, the occasion
was one of splendid cheer and social
greetings. On the veranda of "The
Locusts" the guests were received by
the officers of the Twentieth Century
Club, composed of Mrs. Jos. L. Beck
ett, treasurer and hostess; Miss Laura
Bell, president; Mrs. w. G. Pierce
and Miss Annie Middleton, vice-pres-
idents. Both of the secretaries, who
would have received with the officers,
were out of town.
The center of interest was on the
large lawn which surrounded "The
Locusts." The handiwork of the COM
mittee on decoration was evident from
the time you were ushered into the
maze of variegated lanterns, strung all
over the lawn. Rugs were spread on
the lawn in convenient places, and
tete-a-tetes were arranged in every
nook and corner. Over the mazv
scene of youth and beauty there fioated
out from the drawing room window
bright and catchy airs from Watkins
orchestra, the effect of which made the
evening pass more like dream. Miss
Ethel Soley, of Tioga, Pa, also gave
several entertaining vocal solos.
The membership and guests mum.
bered very largely, and while they
were seated on the lawn, the Com
mittee on Refreshments passed around
a pleasant repast of ice cream and cake.
A number of visitors from out of town
were present.

BANKING ON RAINBOW ASSESTS.
Levy Court Affairs in New Castle County
Exciting Interest.

Says the Erery Ecening: "There is
reason for the belief that the Levy
Court of New Castle county, like the
City Council of Wilmington, is bank
ing on rainbow assests" in order to
keep the county tax rate at its present
figures, so cents on the 800. 1t esti-
mates as revenues S13, 582 from capita
tion tax and 81, All. Sc from the Adams
Tax law; yet the collectors have thus
far made practically no effort to col
lect capitation tax other than from
owners of property, while the revenue
from the Adams Tax law is likely to be
tied up in court for two or three years
longer.
