Two of Plylnoutfi's young men
one business man and the other
pencil pusher on the leading
newspaper OF Plymouth, had a
thrilling and exciting experience
while in Lapaz on Sunday. The
young men hied themselves to
The little village in North town
ship Sunday with the intention of
spending the day at picnic. Late
n the evening the young men de-
cided to take a buggy ride with
two OF Lapazs most charming
Young ladies. AS they were driv-
ing east from Lapaz their horse
became frightened at some UNI
seen object and made lunge to
one side. The result was that all
four occupants of the rig were
piled ina ditch at the side of the
road. No one was seriusly injured
although one of the ladies', so
the boys say, sustained slight
injury. The boys returned to this
city about midnight saying with

ton inthis city Friday evening to
the effect that George ("Runt")
Bergman, the diminutive tailor of

Warsaw, who is employed as
bOokkeeper in hardware store at
that place. How the report was
started seems a mystery although
when the couple were cornered
by representative of this news
paper Friday evening they would
neither confirm nor deny the re-

MIR. Bergman concluded that he
had become disciple of Hymen.
Accordingly when George and
the young lady were at the Penn
sylvania depot awaiting the arri-
val of the east-bound train 3S,
they were greeted with a shower
OF rice and old shoes. Today
George wears long watermelon

guessing. However. as yet, he
has showed no symptoms of ask
ing us to take a cigar with him.
