their liberation was a joyous occasion

TAKES GIRL FROM RIVAL
West viroinian Enforces Demand at

West Manner.

KingwOod, w. Va.-Taking his girl
out of an automobile from the hands
of his rival at the point of a gun and
taking her i'll his own machine was
the wild West stunt performed by Lee
Brown of TOWNSVILLE, near here. Later
Brown was arrested and fined by Mag
istrate W. NJ. Murdoch for carrying
concealed weapons.
The girl was Miss Anna Howard,
with whom Brown had an appoint
ment to go driving. Instead. she went
out with Hunter PERIL and another
couple. Brown encountered the party
on the road and swinging his own ma
chine across the road and blocking it
he pulled an old revolver, which was
not loaded. He demanded the surren-
der of his girl, who got out and clam
bered aboard Browns machine and to-
gether they drove off.

Turning to FurS for Warmth.

No matter how much money she may
have if there is no coal the PariSienne
cannot buy it; 80 they say that Paris
has turned to furS for warmth. There
Is every chance of comfort out of doors
mufiled up in furS To the ears, as
against next to none in a fireleSS in
doors. Even bed and lounge coverings
and lounge pillows are reported to be
made of felts. Everywhere the cheap
er felts prove a more than satisfactory
substitute for wool, which is scarce.
In the face of all these cOnsidera-
tons furriers have distinguished them
selves by providing handsome gar
ments from the inexpensive skins.
Coats with wide collars, deep cuffs and
borders that extend up to the knees
or higher, make a silk garment warm
and save wool in mid-winter coats.
No one inquiries too closely into the
origin of furs that look well and cost
little; they are just as fashionable
as sables or crmine.

Rising City, Neb.-It Is rarely that q

Able, Neb., did both.
Krenk, who was seventy-five, accom-

grave In the National cemetery here
when the accident happened. Krenk.

He was dead when taken out. He
