considerable profit taking probably will
occur. and this pressure Is likely

WITHDREW
Against Stepfather
Did 1ish Girl
And Hubert Lindsay Is iRe.
leased From Jail

Lulu Tish again withdrew charge
of rape against Hubert Lindsay Tues
day afternoon and gave Mayor Perrine
very little reason for doing SO. She
merely stated that he was not the man
and that she wished the charge with.
drawn. The probability Is that she
will have considerable trouble in again
securing a warrant Of the kind before
the mayor.
Several months ago the Tish girl
had q young man by the name OF
McPeek arrested on charge OF rape
but he waived examination and the
grand jury ignored the case and re-
fused to return an indictment. She
then swore out a warrant for the ar
rest Of her step-father. Hubert Lind
say, and preferred the rape charge
against him. She shortly afterward
withdrew 1t but said later that she
did it because she had been threat
ened.
Another affidavit was filed against
him about one week ago and he has
been in Jail awaiting hearing. The
Tish girl has again changed her mind
however, and Lindsay has been re
leased from custody.

The High school will play Zanes-

the lecture course number and the
game would conflict both having been

the crowd yell and thrill all over.
Every member of the team deserves
credit for his playing. 1t reflects
much credit upon the good work OF
Coach Christman. The effect of the

plainly evident. The guarding oi
