Austin, March 14-Bessie White,
black, and Mildred Black, white

peared before Justice Chaffee al a

derry conduct following their arrests
in a raid on a local hotel.
The other members OF the party
gave their names as John Olson, An =
drew Stratton, Ole Udall and Maggie
Murphy. The names for the most
part seemed to be a matter Of hasty
selection on the part OF the prison
ers given for police records. Udall

was brought to the attention of the
chief Of police, and after a warrant
was made out, he accompanied the

an effort 10 slip away. He was
quickly discovered by one OF the
officers. however.

of the party were called before the
Justice to give information as to
their names.

the oolored lady TO the court.
And my name is Mildred Black.
said the next party to appear before
the court The justice looked up-the
owner OF that name was white.
The contrast OF the two names
was SO striking that 1t suggested
similarity, someone asked whether
patiently explained that there was
them.
One of the party in his haste to
give an assumed name, thought of a
cognomen that happened to be the
correct monaker of an Austin man.
The court hastily informed him that
the choice Of name might not be a
happy one, however. and the prisoner
FASTENED to change it.
All of the six pied guilty, and
were each given fines of $500 and
costs. The ladies who had given to
understand that they were only Wis =
iting in Austin left on the early
morning train for the Twin Cities

KIDNAPPING WAS PREVENTED
Two Girls at Rochester Have Rather
Thrilling Experience.

Rochester, March IA kidnap-
ping, struggle in the dark suggest
ed rendezvous in the woods all fea =
ture highly in a nerve racking ad
venture occurring last night. Two
girls, one giving her name as Dor
othy Anderson, told a story Of at
tempted abduction to frienos today,
which comedies strangely with the
affair OF a few weeks ago.
A man driving large enclosed
car and posing as a taxi driver gave
the girls a wild mid night ride last
evening which will sound as a warn
ing to other girls who may be
tempted to enter a strange cab.
In this case the girls were leav-
ing downtown restaurant late at
night, when the supposed taxi driy-
er drove boldly up TO the curb and
accosted them. Taxi, girls!" When
the girls refused the man politely
them anything as he was killing
time waiting for another passenger
and they might as well take ad =
vantage of the offer.
I'VE women act on impulse" said
Dorothy today. land it was getting
COOL and blowy SO | didn't think it
would do any harm. He looked like
a perfectly nice fellow too"
/. But II did do harm as Dorothy and
her companion soon found out for
the man as soon as he got on Fourth
street Sc, speeded up his machine
and tore along in a fashion which
gave the girls feeling that all was
not right in Denmark. When the
auto left the pavement and began
to plough recklessiy through the
mud Dorothy leaped to her feet and
grabbed the man by the arm ex-
claiming that he had gone way past
their place.
Wait till you see my little hang :
out and you won't want to 60 home, /"
he cried good naturedly. Its out
here in the woods just a little ways"
But Dorothy was girl Of spirit
and she did mot intend to take any
chances OF breaking a leg by jump
ing out. Instead she shook at the
mans shoulder until he nearly lost
his grip on the steering gear His
good nature disappeared and he
showed her roughly back into the
seat, but Dorothy springfng to her
feet called on her comparison To Us =
sist her. You take Us back or we'll
ditch the car" she told him. They
had reached the vicinity Of the
State hospital and Just around the
bend came the lights Of another car,
seeing which the driver hastily turn
ed his machine around and drove
them back to the city.
We got out as soon as we reach
ed the pavement" said Dorothy,
and believe me its the hast hide
either Of us will ever take any more
lone with autoists."
