Near HoIdup at DayvilIe.

From Dayville comes an amusing story of the attempted holdup of a young man and two young ladies whom he was escOrting home from May basket party. The holdup was what is called a "frame-up" in some sections of our country and was engineered by the young fellow who was held up and by four of his friends The four friends acted as highwaymen. pretend ing that they wanted to kidnap one of the young women, and each allowed himself to be knocked out, dropped stiff in the road, by we'll directed punches that did not have enough steam behind them to bowl over a cat.
 The act was well staged, however. and the young escort accepted as a hero. Information of the affair was rushed to a constable and he, pre- pared to do business with real road agents, was quickly on the trail. The result was the capture of an fnno- cent party, on his way home to Will Evansville, and his release after he had demonstrated that he had nothing to do with the affair.
 The young ladies were not let in on the joke. so what provided a great deal of fun for the perpetrators was not so amusing to them, for the time being.
