HoLD.UP IN MORTIFIED.
But Intruder Fled After Firing Only One
Shot.

The Mortified News of July IL con.
tains the following story of a hold-ur
in that town Monday night:
An attempted hold-up took place last
evening about o'clock at the home of
Frank Thresher on what is known as the
Jesse Cook farm at Harlow bridge. Mr..
Thresher was eating supper, when sud
denly man appeared in the room, at
the same time telling him to throw up
his hands, pointing pistol at Mr..
Thresher's head. Mr.. Thresher ducked,
at the same time, saying, What do you
mean?" The man Immediately fired, the
bullet going into the wall directly back
of where Mr.. Thresher was. He imme-
diately turned and ran out of the house.
Mr.. Thresher following him. The house
was all excitement, naturally, and Mr..
Thresher stopped moment to quiet
those in his household. This gave the
man time enough to get away. After
Mr.. Thresher had stepped into the yard
he fred his gun, the man returning the
shot going wide of his mark The man
dropped one of his guns as he went away,
taking his shot gun with him.
Chief Donahue was Immediately on the
scene, and worked theoretically on it all
night, later having the help OF Special
Officer Bingham. Together they secured
the hills in all directions, going into
barns, sheds, schoolhouses, etc, in the
hope they could get line on the man.
1t was an easy matter for him to get
away in the darkness. The facts are in |
hands of the states attorney.
1t seems the man had blue hsndker
chief over his nose and lower part of |
his face, as near as could be judged a
squint in one eye. He was without coat, /
and his sleeves rolled up. He looked as
though he had just come in out of the
hay field.
1t would be a good idea for any one
having strangers at work for them to
find out where they were at this hour
last night. The pistol this man had was
target pistol, Stevens %. 1t has the
number 3705l on it.
This is one of the most daring at
tempted hold-ups in this vicinity in a
long time. Everybody should be on the
alert as to whom they employ these
days, and if possible find out who they are.

DOUBLE CHARGES BROUGHT.
One for Passing Worthless Checks and
Other for Deserving.

Burlington, July ls.-Arthur MacDoug-
all of the machine gun troop, Second cav
airy, was arrested by Officer John Splain
on the lawn between the Lyman Coal
company's Office and the National Biscuit
company on College street at midnight
and placed in the county Jail. MacDoug
all is said to have passed worthless
checks, and is also wanted at the post
for trying to desert. The soldier had on
a corporal's coat and in his pockets was
found sl9.75, which cannot be accounted
for, as he did not have cent when he
left the post, according TO an officer who
was present to take him back providing
the authorities in this city did not want
to hold the man. 1t was also ascertained
at the station that the young man had
got as far as Canada yesterday, but was
turned back by the authorities at the
border

FOLLOWED THE DAISY TRAIL.
At Shower Party Given in Honor of Miss
Eva-Annie Bisbee.

A piazza party was held last evening
at the home of Miss Ellen Hoar Of East
street, which developed into shower for
Miss Eva Annie Bisbee, whose marriage
/ to DR.. Albert c. Freeman of Norwich,
Conn, occurs in the near future. About
20 of Miss Bisbee's friends were present
and after an automobile ride, to which
she had been invited, the guest OF honor
was brought unsuspectingly to the Hoar
home, where the other guests awaited
her on the darkened porch. Her surprise
was evident, but she was equal to the
occasion and greeted her friends most
heartily.
The piazza was beautifully decorated
with banners, bunting, flags, ferns and
daisies and most delightful evening
was spent. Miss Bisbee was forcibly re-
minded from time to time of the event
so near at hand, and when she followed
the daisy trail on its devious way she
found the gifts her friends had present
ed her, silver articles and a casserole.
She responded, thanking the guests for
their gifts.
Refreshments of ice cream and waters
were served and after social hour the
party broke up following the singing OF
old time songs. The event furnished an
for Miss Bisbee's friends TO
tender their best wishes and hopes for
a life of happiness, which was done in no
uncertain terms.
Having spent much of the time for
many years with her aunt, Mrs. n. ID.
Phelps. and being for several years sec
rotary to the principal of Spaulding high
school, as well as being active in church
and social circles Miss Bisbee has

very numerous, all of whom unite in best
wishes for the future. She leaves to-
