w. G. Shirah of the Atlantic Coast
Line car shops and his brother-in-
law, ] b. Bennett, who drives an oil
truck, were arrested ct their places
of work Saturday afternoon in con-
nection with the Stephens flogging
case.
Both were placed under $4,000 bond
which Mr.. Shirah was unable to furn-
ish promptly. Mr.. Bennett, who is
not so well known here, had not made
bond, at last accounts, and was in
Jail in Barlow.
Both men protest their innocence.

He states that he never had any
trouble with any of the men arrested
in the case, nor with anyone else

LAKELAND VISITORS LOSE
DAUGHTER ON WAY HOME

Richmond, May 29.-Fear that their
fifteen-year-old daughter, Thelma,
eloped with a young man from Tampa,
was voiced yesterday by Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Coffin, of 446 Laketon avenue,
Muskegon, Mich, who stopped over in
Richmond to witness the Virginia His
torical pageant celebration, while mo-
toring home from Lakeland, Fla,
where they had spent the winter and
early spring.
The girl disappeared last Thursday
evening, leaving note, addressed to
her mother, stating that 1--WE will noti-
fly you as soon as we are located" The
note also stated that we are going
north"
Mrs. Coffin said that Cecil Gay, of
Tampa, an employe of the G. and H.
Motor Company there, had been atten-
tive to Thelma for several months
and wanted to marry her but she and
Mr.. Coffin objected on the ground that
Thelma was too young. The Washing
ton police will be asked to ascertain
whether the girl was married there.
Lester Burton, a young man from
Muskegon, who is travelling with the
Collins, was also attentive to Thelma,
according to the girls mother, but
she did not smile ON him. Another the
DRY advanced is that the girl may have
gone to the home of her grandfather,
Halsey Mould, at Big Rapids, Mich.
