Wilbur Evans Sends Gaines
Car Into Telephone
Pole.
TOOK FRIENDS OUT RIDING.
AFTER HE HAD WRECKED CAR.
EVANS RETURNED TO RICH
MoND, LEFT WORD OF AccI-
DENT AND THEN LEFT.

S. B. Gaines. one OF the proprietors
of the Auto Inn, is looking for a young
man, Wilbur Evans, who has for some
time been employed at the garage.
However, Evans is numbered among
the missing. The cause of his disap-
pearance was the wrecking of Mr.,
Gaines Buick machine last evening
near New Hope, o. Gaines has
threatened to have Evans arrested if
he succeeds in locating him.
Mr.. Gaines stated today that last
evening after he and his partner
Lauren WhiteselI, had left the Auto
Inn, Evans took the Buick and with
three companions, whose names are
unknown to Mr.. Whitesell, went out
for little trip.
While running along the road near
New Hope, Evans lost control of the
machine and ii dashed into a tele-
phone pole, completely wrecking the
front part Of the car. The driver and
his three friends walked back to Rich
mond. Evans stopped at the Auto Inn
and informed a man who was there to
tell Gaines as soon as he came to work
that he would find what was left of
his machine near New Hope The
young man also stated that he was GO
ing to leave town. Mr.. Gaines states
that he understands the young man
left Richmond about 5 o'clock.
When Gaines went to New Hope he
found his car nothing but a pile of
junk. Today he has made several eff
forts to ascertain who Evans three
companions were, but so far his eff
forts have been met with success.
Young Evans is machinist and has
always been known as a quiet, indus
trious young man. His friends great
ly regret his action of leaving the
city and feel confident that after he
has fully considered the matter he
will return here and face the music"

Old English Pence,

Halfpence and farthings were not
coined in England before the time of
Edward l.. and until they were the
penny, which was then made Of silver,
was issued deeply indented with a
cross in order that it might be broken
into two pieces for halfpennies or into
four things, or farthings. The silver
penny was the first coin of the Anglo
Saxons struck in England. In 1872 an
authorized coinage of copper pennies,
halfpennies and farthings was estab-
lished. Silver farthings ceased to be
coined under Edward VI. and silver
halfpennies under the commonwealth.
