| cut-around near Green Lake. Mr..

When Mayor Foster granted per-
mission to blow the siren fire whistle
Thursday night to locate several sup

| of 49,
! had left school, and at nine O'Clock
the parents became worried because
they had not returned to their
homes, and called Night Officer Nc
1ntosh, who started search. The fire
whistle was blown, and crowd
gathered at the engine house from
which general search was started.
The local troop of Boy Scouts aided
materially in the search and in
finally locating the boys. 1t later

waited for dark to cover up a
marauding expedition on board the
schooner Nellie Grant, owned by
Whitcomb, Haynes & Whitney Co.,
and captained by Alexander Hutch
ings, who had warrant issued for
the arrest of the boys. AS a result,
James and Martin Starkey and
Everett Carter were before Judge

larceny. Their cases were continued
for sentence.

car, landing on her face. Her nose
was broken, and her frontal bone
fractured. DR.. Baker, and Mrs

was on the front seat with him,
were also thrown from the car, but
escaped with bruises. DR.. Baker,
after giving first aid to his wife, ran

five miles away, for assistance. He
| found ready volunteers, and was re-
| turning to the scene of the accident
| when he met Mrs. Baker and her
father in another car that had hap
