Poplar Bluff Republican: sc. w.
Tetwiler returned to Poplar Bluff
Monday evening after an absence of
two weeks during which time he
visited various points in eastern states
including New York, Philadelphia,
Niagara Falls and the old home regon
of his parents in southern Pennsyl-
vania; he was also in Marion, Ohio,
on the day that Senator Harding re-
ceived notification of his nomination
as Republican candidate for the presi-
dency. This was great day in
Marion, Mr.. Tetwiler states, great
throngs coming into the little city
from O'Clock in the forenoon of that
day until P. NJ, the delegations COM
ing from nearly every state in the
Union; the great parade, including
numerous bands and musical organi-
cations, and representing many disy
tinguished citizens, made the day one
long to be remembered, Mr.. Tetwiler
states; for five hours he stood and
watched this busy throng which had
come to pay their respects to the
next president of the United Ststes.
In visiting the home regon of his
parents in southern Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Tetwiler was rewarded with meet
ing numerous kinsmen whom he had
never met before; also he had the
pleasure of seeing the house, yet
standing, in which his mother was
born. Having planned well the
manner in which he should spend his
vacation, Mr.. Tetwiler had the op-
portunity of seeing much of interest
during this short time. He was at
Valley Forge and other historic points
of national interest. His entire trip
was one of interest and he is much
refreshed as a result of his vacation"

Immediately and nearby towns were
notified of the robbery: Police in
neighboring towns were asked tc
watch for the men. A posse led by
Sheriff L. W. Casey of Washington
County was formed and began

thought that they had fed into the
hilly country betweed Caledonia ant
Ironton, Mo. Sheriff Casey said las
night that he had sent for blood
hounds owned by w. B. Huckaby o.
Venice, ILL.,, and that the posse would
follow into the hills. 1t was though
probable that the men would be ap

not be found when a search wa
started. One of the men was tall
