POLICE DETAIN
TWO YOUNG GIRLS

The stern duties of our chief of pol
ice Saturday night were varied by an
episode calling for the exercise of his
authority in which two pretty girls
from Northumberland We're the chief
actors and delinquents.
About 10 O'Clock the chief was call
ed up ON the phone by woman liv
ing in Northumberland who explain
ed that her seventeen-year-o r-old daugh-
ter along with another Northumber
land girl of about the same age had
left home and that i'll the mothers
opinion they had gone to Danville al
lured by the show that was the attrac-
tion in the opera house at that date.
The girls to be sought We're Lillian
Carroll and Rachel Conrad, With the
clue that had been furnished as to
their probable whereabouts when the
show was over the officer stationed
himself at the main entrance to the
opera house, and, as the girls passed
out quickly and unostentatiously gave
them to understand that for the time
being they were III his care and keep
ing. They readily took in the situa-
ton one of them exclaiming: "Why
| they know where we are well enough. '
Although inclined to demur they had
10 accompany the officer to city hall.
The spectacle of the blue coat with a
jauntily dressed girl ON each side of
| him was not usual one on the crowded
street and caused much conjecture as
what it all meant
The anxious mother i'll Northumber-
land was apprised that her daughter
and companion We're i'll safe hands in
Danville. The chief was asked to de
tain the girls until yesterday morning
when arrangements would lie made to
take them home.
When it came to complying with the
latter request the chief was in a
quandary, as the use of the lookup,
the only place at his disposal, in such
a case was obviously out of the ques-
tion. To detain the girls in prison was
also not to be considered seriously.
The hour of midnight was rapidly
approaching when the generous land
lord of the Badly house came to the
policeman's rescue and volunteered to
furnish the girls a room and to be re
sponsible for their safe keeping until
morning.
Both girls returned to Northumber-
land on the II :51 d. L. & W. train
Sunday accompanied by Il relative
who came up to Danville for them on
| the earlv morning train.

DECLARED A DIVIDEND

That the recent base ball season in
