truck was seen on the road Tuesday,

by residents at the time.
After the truck had remained in
the road almost a week. however,
almost blocking traffic, a farmer who
lived nearby notified Chief Deputy
Newton. A deputy sheriff was sent
to the scene 10 make an investigation.
He found that the license plates had
been removed from the truck and no
trace Of them could be found. Night

emancipated women was about
to form in line for the grand
parade through the principal
streets Of the city.
They were a thousand strong
and they were prepared to
demonstrate that they were
fully equal to many in
) strength, courage and ability
to come with the world.
The young woman who was
to head the procession and
carry the banner, stepped for
ward.
She was a magnificent bru-
nette, five feet eight inches
in height, and with flashing
eyes and determined manner.
The band began playing, and
an attendant brought her the
banner she was to carry.
She took it in her hand, and
then with loud scream threw
it from her as far as she could,
and sank pom the ground
trembling with fright. The
banner was made of mouse col.
