Of BUSINESS MEN
WITNESS 'RESCUEAT SEA-
Retail Merchants and Others, Aboard
the Majestic, Are Given
Thrill.

Governors OF the Retail Merchants
Association and other Washington
business men who made a trip down
the Potomac river Saturday afternoon
aboard the new river steamer Majestic
witnessed a "denatured' rescue at sea
early this morning near Maryland
point, about forty-five miles from TINS
city Shortly after ] o'clock in the
morning Capt. Bailey Reed of the Ma
jestic saw some strange lights ahead
of him. and. switching on the search-
light, found that the steamer de Barry
also of the Potomac and Chesapeake
line was anchored off to one side OF
the channel. Capt James johnson OF
the de Barry signaled that his ship was
in distress.
The Majestic pulled up alongside of
the other boat. and it was learned that
the de Barry had experienced engine
trouble and was disabled. The Ma
iestic was made fast to the de Barry
until the latter's anchor was lifted, and
then took the disabled boat in tow.
The de Barry han been at anchor since
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Passengers Throng the Deck.
The stopping of the Majestic and the
shouting back and forth incident to
the rescue" brought MANY of the
boats passengers on deck.
The Majestic did not make her sched-
uled stop at Alexandria on the return
trip this morning. but came on up to
Washington with the de Barry in tow.
At the mouth of the harbor the tug
Walter A. Mead came alongside and
took charge of the disabled boat.
Although the start was made in the
midst of snowstorm. the trip of the
business men down the river was a
pleasant one. Members of the party
were up to all kinds of pranks Satur-
day night. but turned in early last
night. Some one carried along an cleo
tricaIly charged chair and there was
lots of fun at the various landings
were unsuspecting natives were per-
suaded to sit in to have their photo
graphs taken.
Most of yesterday was spent in Nom
mi creek. calling al various landings.
On the return trip a number of mem
berS of the party went ashore at Nom
mi and walked to McGuire's wharf,
where the Majestic called for them an
hour or SO later.

JOHN LAUGH
LOSES auto
First Automobile Theft in County
Perpetrated In Denison About
8 O'Clock Friday Evening
LITTLE HOPES GIFTS RECOVERY
Car Was a Ford, Equipped With, Good.
rich Tires, 1916 Model, and Bore
License Number 1888.

The first automobile theft in this
county was perpetrated last Friday
evening here in Denison, when the
Ford car belonging to John LAUGH, 9
farmer residing on the old Jas. Tran
ter farm near Buck Grove, was stolen
The car was parked on the east side
of the court house square at O'Clock
and half an hour. later was missing
and the authorities as yet have beer
unable to get any trace of it.
Mr.. LAUGH only recently purchased
the car and drove to Denison Fri
day evening to do some trading and
take in the carnival. He parked the
car on the east side of the court
house, where scores of other cars
were, and never thought that there
was any danger of it's being stolen
At $3.50 he returned to the place anG
found that the machine was gone, but
supposed that some of his friends had
taken the car for little ride and
would return it shortly. When it had
not been returned at $3.50 he notified
the officers and phone messages were
sent out to nearby towns to be on the
lookout for the machine, but nothing
was heard of 1t.
The county authorities have little
hopes that the car will ever be recov
cred for without doubt it was stol
en- by parties who make business OF
stealing automobiles. Mr.. LAUGHS
car was Ford touring car of the 191t
model; was equipped with Goodrich
tires, both front and rear, the rear
ones being of the non-skid type. The
license number of the car is 17339S
and the engine number 123S711.
