KILLED A JOY
RIDEDIDN'T They

Cecil Phillips and Bryan Marshall
got into trouble Wednesday night of
last week by borrowing" A. T. An
krom's automobile, which was stand
ing in front of the Christian church,
and venturing on a trip into the
country toward Thompson. Near the
County Infirmary the car went into
the ditch. Both boys escaped with
only few bruises. Another auto
was behind them, and they seampered
into field and hid, thinking it was
the officers on their trail.
They then meandered back to
town. The officers were indeed on
the trail soon. Phillips cap was
found in the car and it led to his ar
rest, and he implicated Marshall.
Phillips pleaded guilty to the charges
preferred against him, but Marshall
will stand trial.
