Residents in the vicinity of the rail-
road station were startled one Sun
day morning recently when loud cries
were heard coming from the depot. On
investigation it was found that
young woman from near State Road
had been locked in the station by
Station Master Philips, he not know
ing she was there. Before the woman
was liberated, it was necessary for
her to climb through a window, and
thanks to her skirts, this was possi-
BILE.
The skirt worn was the cause of the
trouble. the young woman having
gone into the building on alighting
from the train to complete her toilet,
she having barely time to make the
train at her home station. After max
ing her appearance as neat as possi-
BILE. the woman started from the build
ing when she found that the door was
locked
It was then that she started to call
for help as she had planned to 60
to church and after several men and
women had gathered at the station
anu cdW utl lulOukM WluuONh IL Mdc
suggested that she use the pay tele-
phone in the building to call Mr.
Philips. This suggestion was all right
but the woman did not have a nickel
in change and none in the crowd
could help her. Finally as the church
bells began to call the faithful, the
young woman asked the men outside
to raise the windows and after this
was done, she urged all TO withdraw
while she did the climbing alt.
Once liberated the young woman
proceeded on her way to church.
