 Almost HoIdup
 Sylvester Marshall considers himself very fortunate in escaping what might have proved serious experience last Wednesday night. On his way home from businiss about eleven o'clock. he noticed by the light of the moon, behind one of the trees on West Main street, q man, whose actions appeared somewhat suspicious. As Marshall had with him an amount of money, he did not care to take any chances of a possible argument with man bigger than himself, so he retraced his steps and enlisted Messrs. | Herriman, Thurlough and Corwin as | bodyguards to escort him home. When the party arrived at the scene of danger quiet reigned supreme; the villain had yamoosed, and the only "visible sound" was the falling of the moonbeams on the concrete walk. On the return trip the aforesaid bodyguard communed with themselves. debated, discussed, argued and questioned: "Was this bonafide scare, or a joke on us?" But Marshall insists that tough looking character had been lettering around the poolroom for two or three days previous and sus- poets that he was the man behind the tree. PULPIT AND PEW
