THE MUSICIAN AND THE CABBY.


Oh the tag inside my coat collar, so l
went up to the cabby. overturned the
collar of my coat and showed it to
him. He did not understand, but l
thought he did, as he drove on.
"a few minutes later he pulled up
at a chemists. and | realized that be
thought l had something the matter
with my neck and needed medical ad-
vice l got off the cab and again
showed the collar to the driver, but
the man shook his head and laughed.
"Of course | lost my patience. but
was determined that he should under
stand so took off my coat and put
the tag with the tailorS name under
the cabby's nose Unfortunately to
make him understand | gesticulated
widely. a method which | adopted
with great success in other foreign
countries. but a man in his shirt
sleeves waving his arms to a cabby is
evidently an unusual sight in London.
"a big crowd collected to watch me,
and, sure enough. a policeman walked
up to me. grabbed me by the arm and
marched me to a police station. Here
l paid the cabby and waited half an
hour until an interpreter was called
and l explained what ! wanted.
"Of course they let me off, but the
interpreter told me that the police did
not believe my story, as they knew !
was drunk and that l wanted to fight
the cabby."

MOUNT THEIR HORSES
AND RUSH AWAY
Frank Prouty and Jessie Human
Eiope in Romantic
Manner.

Young Lochinvar's' historic exploit
Of decamping with his bride was
eoualled by Frank Prouty of Brawley,
when he eloped on horseback early
Sunday morning with Miss Jessie
Thurman, the 16-year-old school girl
daughter of J. w. Thurman
After a thorough search Of the val
ley, it was found that the runaways
had taken the Carisso creek road for
San Diego or Los Angeles, where hey
expect to be married
So far they have not been reached.
Miss Thurman was at the Prouty
home southeast of BraWley, until late
Saturday night Here the youngsters
secured two of the best Prouty horses
and taking an equipment, made all
preparations for hurried flight
Young Prouty knocked on his mothers
door and informed her that ne and
Jessie we're leaving. They then rushed
to the door, mounted their horses and
away they went in the darkness.
The families were distracted and
hunted in every direction for their
missing children, but to no effect.
Miss Thurman is an expert horse
woman, able to rope and tie a steer
with anyone, so it is expected that
the chase will be long one before
they are verhauled-Brawley News.

the Mesquite Lake ranchers. And one
and all who have had the pleasure of
attending pronounced the fair a splen-

and the business management of the
fair all that it should be. Now the
one important matter is the next fair,
for of course this will not be the last
one
