CHILDREN
Strayed Away From Camp
Ground Found In This City

Two little children, Marion Elms-
lie, aged four and Richard French,
aged three were left on a street
car Sunday afternoon on South Main
street, when the remainder of the
passengers got off at the Pennsylvania
station.
The conductor endeavored to find
out who they were, but failed and
turned them over. to officer Taylor
who took them up to police court.
Chief of Police Parker finally ex-
tracted their names and one made
mention of a "camp-meeting." Ac-
cordingly he called up the Fuller
home at Academia, reported the find
and asked that their parents be To-
Gated at the camp.
At about five o'clock Richards ia
ther and Marion's mother appeared
at the court and were overjoyed to
see their tots, who had been missing
all afternoon. They had strayed a
way from the grounds and theiI
parents were frantic at not being able
to locate them. 1t is thought that
they boarded the car at the grocery
together with a large crowd of re
turning tenters.
