Last Friday evening two men and
two women, all young. got off a street
car at the north end of Main street and
started towards the North Cemetery.
Later all were seen to be drunk and one

companions could not move her. The
one woman went away leaving the men
to watch over the other The night
was cold and she would perhaps have
been badly frost bitten If not removed
to shelter. Finally some of the neigh
Dor women chased the men away and
carried the woman into j. c. Wander
Inns house where they thawed her out
aud afterwards sent her home.
