 Three of our best known and highly respected young men played the "h0ld-up" prank on another young man the other night when he was coming home from the coun- try after taking a young lady home from church, and the affair looked so realistic to him that he only touched the ground here and there as he came to town. His hat is still up in the air out in the woods, and 1t IS still raining gravel in the nrigiIDorh0od. Of course it was all a joke, but the young man has so far failed to see it that way, and he not only sore clear to the core, but talks seriously of prosecuting the jokers.
