tie interest aroused in the presidential
preference primary, which is to be held

land will be the same as at the recent
township election except in the ninth

tions. Charles B. Marshall seeks to
be sent to the democratic gathering

received from a woman Tuesday noon.

was accosted by a woman who came
up from behind her and asked what
time it was. Although she had a watch
In her handbag for some reason she
did not care to take it out, not liking
the looks Of the woman, and she told
her as near as she could. The woman
replied by asking her if she did not
have a watch and then the young lady
stepped out SO that she could see the
face Of the clock on the bank and
pointed out to her that that was the
correct time. The woman then asked
her where there was good place to
get dinner, following it Immediately
by saying: 1.-THE Chop House is a good
place is 1t not?" and when answered
in the affirmative replying that she
did not know where it was and asking
the girl to go to dinner with her, This
the girl refused and started to walk
along. The woman did not follow and
the girl dismissed it from her mind.
She had hardly got back to the store.
however, and the other people there
had lett than the woman came in and
commenced to tell her how much bet
ter she could make it by going to a.
pig city and how she was interested
IN her and things of that nature. She
met with no favor from the girl and
customers coming in, the woman left.
The girl told her employer and a.
watch was kept for the woman the
remainder of the day but she was NOT
seen. She was described as being of
good size. well dressed and with a.
large hat. Her face bore evidences Of
having been painted and she had a.
very bold appearance. Some of the
people who knew about the incident
are considerably disturbed over #
and the woman will get short shift in
this city If seen again.
