survives Trying Ordeal
Mr.. Paul Long an employee in c.
/. McCabe and Co.'S store, had quite
thrilling experience one day last
week while hanging window shades
or the company, at the State Insti-
ution For The Feeble Minded, at
Delaware Colony. when one of the
inmates of the place secretly crept
p and threw a piece of wearing
pparel over his head and tightly
wrapped it around and began shak
ng and twisting him about in very
unpleasant manner. With a chill of
Orror creeping over him, Mr.. Long
'as at loss to know how he was
ding to extricate himself from the
lutches of the would-be kidnapper,
ut after quieting his nerves a bit,
as successful in making his escape
nd returned to his home here-none
le worse from his experience-out-
de his inability to erase the gloomy
lemOry of his experience from his
ental diary.
