Madlsonville, Oct. 7.-Madison-
VILE these days is not without a real
hero, something we thought quite
passe as a drama in the form of a
hold-up enacted Saturday night al
the Madlsonville Ferry Landing
proved. The scene was, of course.
drafatic in every detail, yet not with
out a touch Of human pathos and a
gllnt OF humor, as was SO vividly
depicted in tht enactment. About
o:45 Hammond officials telephoned
the marshal here to be on the look
out for big blue Chandler machine
which had been stolen from Mr.. r..
u. FNellars at Hammond. At 1O:3O
a big machine drove up to the River
side Tea Room requesting informa-
tlon regarding the schedule of the
Jerry ACROSS the Tchefuncta river. A
young woman in close proximity gave
the car the once over and decided it
was no other than the stray one, REG
ognizing it and it's two male occu-
pants from the description phoned
N. No sooner said than done. Our
young hero in questiOn-Mr. Fred
klein-grabbed a small .22 rifle
that had long since ceased to func-
ton as a dangerous weapon, and
went through the necessary motions
of real hold-up and kept both the
men under surveillance with the
empty rifle frof 1890 till Mr.
Whattingny could be summoned to
take them in charge. He had them
locked up till Sunday night when
Sheriff L. H. Bowden, of Tangipahoa
parish, came for them. They are
now in Amite City held for further
