GIRLS USE HATPINS.

Sioux Falls-While in Sioux Falls,
Ira Harold, a business man of Hayti,
a small town in Hamlin county, fur
nished the particulars of a thrilling
adventure of which Miss Laura S. May
and Miss Agnes T. May, sisters, Of
Hayti, were the heroines. They are
employed as stenographers by Mr..
Harold, and had worked late at night
caring for a large volume of business
which had accumulated. While near.
ing the end of a bridge on the way
home a stranger suddenly approached
the two girls and grasped Agnes. Both
girls screamed, but did not remain
idle. Laura drew her hatpins from
her hat and vigorously attacked the
man, jabbing him a number Of times
with the hatpins and striking him in
the eye with one of her fists. The
stranger had snatched at the handbag
carried by Agnes, and his hand be-
came ~entangled In the long chain
which is attached to the bag the other
end being over the girls wrist. Agnes
used her free hand to good advantage
and left her nail marks on the assail-
ants face The man finally succeeded
in w%renching the hatpin from Laura's
hand and attempted to grab her also,
but she eluded his grasp. At this juno
ture the chain broke and the man
made off with the handbag, with the
two girls following him, determined to
recover it. They pursued him a con-
siderable distance. Observing the pur.
suit, the town marshall sprang in front
of the fugitive and by putting out his
foot succeeded in tripping him, fasten-
ing the handouts upon his wrists be.
fore he could regain his feet and again
