One of them, Cadet Dillon, said that
he was compelled by Bunker to swallow
from half to a teaspoonful of the
sauce. given him in a camp spoon. which
is about the size of dessert spoon.
Bunker acknowledged having braced
some of the plebes, but denied ever hav-
ing given more than Is drops of sauce to

two men who We're his equal in physique.
The other plebes whom he hazed were

PAINTED THE TOWN RED
Did two Marietta Girls while in the GAY
Town down the River.

After an absence of several days
from their homes in this city, Maud
| Chamberlain and Katherine knight
two fourteen year old girls, have re-
turned. The story of their wanderings
which caused their relatives great an
xiety, is as follows:
On Thursday night the two girls
left their homes with the ostensible
purpose of attending church in the
East End, but instead of going to the
church they boarded a B. G. o. S. w.
train bound for Parkersburg. On the
same train were two young men of
this city, Louis Sweesey and Chas
Barrows. The young men and the
girls alighted from the train at Bel
pre- Thursday evening and all effort to
locate the two girls was unavailing up
to Sunday night. The Parkersburg
police were telephoned of the occur
renee Thursday night and instructed
to apprehend the girls and send them
back to Marietta, but the officials were
unable to locate them, although dill
gent search was made.
On Saturday afternoon, Geo. Cham
berlain requested the Marietta police
to go to Belpre, as he had information
that the girls were there. Officers
Ray and Wright were delegated for
the service and Immediately left for
the village down the Ohio. They
found Louis Sweesey, one of the
young men who was with the girls
when the latter arrived at Belpre. and
placed him under arrest. The latter
admitted being in company with the
two runaways. but said that he had
taken them to his sister-in-law, Mrs.
Ruffles house, to spend the night.
That he had seen them on the streets
of Belpre Saturday noon, but did not
know where they were. Officers Ray
and Wright then took Sweesey over to
the Parkersburg police headquarters
where they left him and continued
theiI search. The Parkersburg police
had in the meantime givenup the case.
The two Maietta officers. however,
continued the hunt, and going to Riv-
erside, suburb of Parkersburg, ar
rested Wylie Ralston and Joe Saffreed.
The two boys admitted seeing the
girls over the river from Parkersburg
to Belpre Saturday night. On Sunday
during the entire afternoon, Ralston
and Saffreed had the girls out boat
riding, but receiving a tip that Mari
eta officers were upon the trace the
girls We're taken distance above the
city and started to walk to Marietta
The Marietta police becoming satisfied
that the girls were not in Parkersburg
as the officers of the latter place be-
lieved, started after the fugitives.
They reached Willamstown at six
o'clock in the morning, but had seen
nothing of the runaways.
Mr.. Chamberlain was informed by
them of the girls probable where
abouts and securing a rig he came up
on them four miles above Parkers-
burg, They had spent the night at
farm house along the road and We're
travelling home.
What will be done with the girls or
their supposed abductors has not yet
been determined.

A Disappointment.

On IUeSudl VIC 1OOOisS"
that the Caffery Re
finery was going to bore for oil on
the PEBBLES plantation in this par
,sh. and Mr.. Victor L. Barthe
would that day place the order Tor
the necessary lumber to build the
derrick. 1t was stated that the
boring would be done at a point
about 200 yards from the lower
Kemper line. We were about 10
become enthusiastic and throw mp
orr last summers's hat when we
met MIR. Forsythe, the Superlnten-
dent and Assistant General Man
ager Of the company who in sub
stance said:
The Caffery Refinery, at Frank
lin. has been troubled with the
problem of getting good water for
years. The bayou cannot be de-
pended upon and its waters are
growing more dangerous for use
in the boilers each year. Some
years ago the company was com
PEELED to resort to deep wells III
order to get a better water supply
for it's boilers. The results from
two wells, one 700 deep and
the other 900 feet deep, has not
been altogether satisfactory. From
the use of this water there is
heavy coating left upon the boiler
tubes, shortening their life and
increasing the consumption of fue
in order to get satisfactory steam
results.
| The results Of boring in Other
sections seem to clearly indicate
that there is bed rock below us,
We believe there is a different
quantity Of water below that rock
| We are going to try and reach
that point for better water. The
Company is more interested, just
now, in sugar than in oil. If We
strike oil, while boring for water
it will not be unwelcOmed.
| On the PEBBLES plantation we
were troubled with considerable
sickness among the employees
last year. We are disposed tt
attribute it to the unwhOlesOme
ness of the water.-The small
cistern, with a faucet will never
yield wholesome water for plan
tation hands.-The square dus
well in that section yields a very
impure water Of milkish appear
ance. The company, Therefore, ha'
determined to sink a deep well o
two in the hopes of getting a goot
artesian water which will be il
every way fit for all the domestic
needs of the company's employee
Mr.. Barthe will build the derricl
; to be used in boring these wells
A rather remarkable feature o
that section is two flowing wei
now on the place. One is SO fee
: deep and the other is 40 feet deel
they areyielding a very good water
Other wells not far away, and 0
nearly equal depth, give a rathe
inferior water.
