YEGG SUSPECTS Get
70 DAYS IN JAIL;
ELSMERE HAS Scare

Noticing three Zen lettering about
the postofice at Elsmere early this
morning, e. L. Huson, signal man for
the P. and r. Railroad Company at
the Elsmere tower, was surprised to
see the men extinguish the electric
lights in the office. Thinking the
men might be "yeggs," Mr.. Huson
called County Constable William
Tinsman, who went to the tower in
his automobile. The three men dis
appeared. however, when Tinsman ar
rived at the postofiice.
AS residents of Elsmere had report
ed three men acting strangely about
that place all of yesterday, Constable
Tinsman determined TO hunt for the
men. Finally two men, who were
walking along the railroad tracks,
were arrested on suspicion of being
the men who had been seen at the
pOstofficc.
Both denied having been near the
postofice, but were taken to the police
station. When arraigned before
Magistrate Lewis this morning on the
charge of trespassing, the men gave
the names OF Dudley Anderson and
Joseph Wilson. Both we're sentenced
to the workhouse for twenty days.
Efforts to find the third man have so
far failed.
