menSely.
The music for the affair was fur

which they were to do it. The mu-

their closing dance for the current sea-
son.
The committe wishes to thank all
those who were present at their last
dance, and hope they will attend their

ing. Many passengers, on hearing
the length of time of possible de-
lay, left the train and beat about

looking for agricultural possibi1i-
ties, and some were looking for
mine investments. There were
some fine freight cars ditched :,

D. A. Adams, of Dragon, the

nouncing the death of his mother.

A Case of Kidnapping ?

Some excite m ent t and some
laughter was provoked in Judge
Fuckers court Monday by what
appeared for time to be a case OF
kidnapping.
J. A. Echo1s, whose wife had
been placed in a sanitarium, placed,
it seems, his two small children
with friends or relatives He came,
later, for the children. There were
with him his father, Samuel Echols,
and M. P. Cosby, who said, how
ever, that they were present as
peacemakers. While these two
gentlemen were engaging the sup
posed guardian of the children in
conversation, young Echols took
his children and started on his way
happy. On discovering that the
children were gone, Mrs. Barney,
grandmother, repaired to the court
and made charge of kidnapping.
The two, Echols and Cosby, were
arrested. Legal advice from Tomb
stone to Judge Rucker advised that
there was no record showing Mrs.
Barney or anyone else to be the
legal guardian of the children, and
that the rightful guardian under
present circumstances was the fa-
ther, J. A. Echols, who had a right
to take this children, wherever
found and by whatever means ne
cessary. The case was promptly
dismissed.
