Another Of the mystery dags 10 the

number appears on a field of blue, and
the entire flag is bordered with red.
From some engagement in the war

EAT AT B. & o. DEPOT
Police Summoned And Man And Wife
Held Until Afternoon Train
Which They Take To
Millersburg

They say that you cannot get rid
of bad penny. Well, according to
some people who know of the incident
that happened at the b. & o. station
Wednesday noon, two bad pennies re-
turned to Mt. Vernon after an absence
of year or so.
Wednesday, shortly after noon,
Chief Parker was notified by persons
at the B. & o. station that there was
an old couple indulging in a rather
hearty meal, sitting on the floor and
using the platform of the penny scales
in the waiting room as a table. And,
besides this, the person who reported
the unusual incident said that they
were cursing each other terribly.
They we're elderly people.
Chief Parker called "Black Maria"
and went to the B. e o. station where
he found that everything that had
been reported to him as regards the
OH couple was absolutely true.
rhe chief asked them what they
we're doing and they paid no attention
to him. In fact, they absolutely ig-
nored him and went on with their
meal, cursng each other ali the while.
Finally, however, the chief got
rise out of the man by asking him sew
eral questions such as where they
were going, when they arrived and
what they were doing in Mt Vernon.
The man answered that they were on
their way to Millersburg and had ar.
