.ELOP|NG PATIENTS
ARE CAPTURED

Charles +. Reigel and Charles Rote,
the two patients who escaped from
the hospital for the insane Monday,
were captured and returned to the in.
stitution Tuesday. Each of the Hmen
paid penalty for his indiscretion in
attempting to escape during zero
weather; both of Reigel's feet were
frozen. Rote was little more fort
unate. only one foot being injured by
the frost, although, like his compsn-
ion, he suffered great discomfort.
Tuesday morning the two men were
found in the barn of Peter Dyer about
a mile from Pottsgrove on the Mon
tandon road. The men bore the ap-
pearance of having been on a tramp
and were in a deplorable condition,
their feet being frozen as described
above.
1t did not take Mr.. Dyer long to
discover that the two men were escsp-
ed patients. He did what he could to
make the poor fellow comfortable, en-
deayoring meanwhile to inform the
hospital authorities that the patients
had been captured. He entrusted his
message to a milkman, who on arriv-
| ing at Danville in turn telephoned the
news to the hospital.
! Tuesday afternoon the hospital au-
/ thorities sent "a conveyance out to the
, Dyer farm aud brought the elopers
/ back to the institution.
The two men escaped early Monday
afternoon Reigel's home is near Lew
isburg and there is little doubt that
/ the two men were bound for that des
/ tination. They were too cunning, how
| ever, TO follow the beaten routes OF
travel, but in leaving the hospital
struck out northward through the
snow. Crossing Bloom road they KEEP
ON till they came to Frosty Valley
whence they proceeded in the direct
ion of Lewisburg without incurrint
much danger of detection.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
UTOPlAN SOCIAL CLUB.

The Utopian Social club was organ
lied Nov. s, 1909, with nine members
and has since then been actively en-
gagged in the purpose for which it was
formed, namely, promoting entertain
ments for the more exclusive dancing
set of Denver.
Since Nov. 2S, 1909. the date of its
first entertainment, it has entertained
at eight functions and all have been
highly successful considering the lack
of interest in such undertakings IN a
community where the majority of the
people are far from exclusive.
The total receipts from all since
date of organization are s2162O. The
total disbursements s215.50, leaving a
balance in hands of treasurer at last
meeting of 7Oc.
1t can be readily seen from these
figures that although the club has
done more in the past ten months to-
ward entertaining than any other club
in the community, the benefit has
been derived not by them but by its
guests (the only exception is the club
uIHiti given Mai IH 81, IJlUJ.
Since organization two members
have been dropped from the rolls an
five have joined, making total mem
bership of twelve at present, all OF
whom have worked with utmost good
will The attendance at meetings has
been very good with the exception of
one or two.
The invitation list comprises ap-
proximately 300 guests, all of whom
have been invited at some time or
other; out of this number about 10
can be depended upon, and it is as
well to remark here that those who
protest the loudest upon not getting
an invitation are not the regular at
tendants, but those who enjoy East
Turner better and merely keep the
Utopian invitations in a conspicuous
place for their friends to view.
