TWO STOWAWAY GIRLS
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.

Last Wednesday afternoon Sheriff
Athay and Chief Of Police Hitler
were notified by the officers at Rock
Springs to be on the lookout for two
young girls who had run away from
home there. That night about IL
o'clock, while searching freight cars
in the yards, the officers discovered
the girls hidden away in car of en-
igrant goods. They were taken into
custody, and not wishing to place
them in Jail, Officer Hitler took them
home with him. After they took a
good wash Mrs. Hitler showed them
to their room. Early yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Hitler went into the room
to awaken the girls, but to her great
surprise the young prisoners were
not there. An investigation showed
that they had escaped by way of a
window, and up to this morning
their whereabouts were still unknown
to the local officers. Hitler wired de-
scriptions of the girls to officers at
every point between here and Poca-
tellO and he went as far as Mccain
mon yesterday in search of them. He
10 satisfied that they went west on q
freight train, which left here at 4:46
yesterday morning.
When questioned by the officers
the girls admitted having run away
from home and said they did it be-
cause conditions there were unpleas.

to American Falls, where they had

The girls are sisters and are IA anC
16 years OF age.
Officer Hitler gave them som,
fatherly advice, after taking them t,
his home and told them they ha(
made mistake in leaving home. TIL,

take lots of exercise. you may be able
eventually to overcome IL entirely. In
the meantime use the most mild and
