walls notable in Quinlan for exciting
Incidents. About night large search
.ing party was formed to discover the
whereabouts of another citizen of
Qu)inlan, who had gone to his farm
eafly in the morning and had not re-
turned. He was found in a thick strip
of timber, where night had overtaken
him, causing him to lose his way.
About the time the searching party
e4urned some one entered the home
of E. Vansickle, who, with his wife,
walls at the Baptist church, not more
THIN 100 feet away, and chOked his
12{year-old son until the prints of the
cutprit's fingers were plainly visible
on the throat of the boy. Several chill
dren in the house made such an out
cry that the entire congregation from
the church was soon on the scene, but
not before the intruder had made his
escape in the darkness. Robbery is
supposed to have been the object of
the intrusion, as Mr. Vansickle, who
is business man, was supposed to
have considerable sum of money
from Saturdays sales, which he had
not deposited in the local bank on ac-
count of the rush late Saturday after
noon. No clue has been discovered as
to the identity of the burglar.

stronger. This movement. therefore,

costing, at least. means whereby the
states can deal efficiently with the public
interest, as 1t exists all over the Union.
