me to my cell. where our little knives
were amputated from our chains and
there remained until voluntarily re-
leased. We refused 10 make bond
because we know Of no law which we
had violated. We refused TO pay
the fine for the same reason. II we
had really violated q law, we should
have been punished by either 4 fine
or jail sentence passed according TO
our methods Of giving justice. Be-
cause we violated no law, In our opin-
ion, we were voluntarily released, af-

she has made a wonderful crop this

sometimes a more successful man

the best cotton raised in her i'm

YOUNG MAN SLEEPS
WHILE GIRL GUESTS
HUNT FRANT|CALLY
Woods Near Chevy Chase
Baten All Night by Fright
ened Companions.

While the friends of a certain well
known young man about town, whose
home IL over In Arlington county, had
Visions that he had been waylaid,
dragged off and practically killed in
the groves about Chevy Chase Lake
late last night and early this morning,
the particular young fellow was fast
asleep under a tree. He was found
there, snoring away, at o'clock this
morning.
1t happened this way.
The young man with a party Of
Kirl and men friends motored to
Chevy Chase Circle last night, TAX
in gthe trolley to the lake as the
host" did not have Maryland
license, He danced with several of
his girl acQuaintances and guests up
TO 10 o'clock and suddenly disap-
psared.
When he failed to return at mid
night a search was started. His hat
had not been taken from the cloak
room and a hurried run to the Circle
found his car intact. But the young
man could not be found.
II was thought that maybe, he had
taken a stroll with one OF the girls
Of the party, but count OF noses
showed all present. All sorts Of Wis
ions came before the guests" of the
young man. The party, Joined by
others, began a search through the
woodland and groves. Several had
flash lights to aid in the search. Calls
were made for the young man but
he did not answer,
At dawn, the worn-out searching
party ran across the young man, none
the worse for his experience of sleep
ing in the open. He just couldn't
figure what all the excitement. was
about as he rubbed his eyes.
Several of his girl companions are
employed in the Government bureaus,
md when they learned he had been
found and that he was safe and sound
in his home In Arlington county, they
were greatly relieved. Two of these
friends are employed in the Passport
Division of the State Department.
