Turning to the Court News I was sur- prised to find the names of several of my former class mates. NOTED CROOKS CAUGHT IN RAID April 3, — Edwin Purple, Macy Teetor and Gilbert Foyst, three noted crooks, were caught in a raid last night by the local police. They were engaged in an exciting game of matching pennies, and were so taken by surprise that they submitted meekly. Three kegs of pop and several boxes of chewing gum were confiscated by the police. None of the prisoners were able to fur- nish bale. They are now held at the local police station pending the action of Judge R. B. Stewart. Although the law says two to fourteen years it is thought that they will be given lenient sentences as they were classmates of the Judge. The only other court happening which concerned my acquaintances was — Leslie Smith has been sued for divorce by his wife, who was formerly Miss Flor- ence Logan. The complaint filed by the plaintiff was brutality and failure to pro- vide. The case has been arrainged to ap- pear before Judge Stewart the first of May. The last article that I read was — NOTED MUSICIANS TO APPEAR BEFORE AUDIENCE AT THE GRAND THEATRE ECONOMY Miss Dexter Peckenpaugh, the cele- brated pianist, Miss Velma Allen, the tal- ented violinist and Miss Gladyse Cromer, the famous vocalist, will appear Wednes- day, of next week, at the Grand, Economy. The girls are former residents of this city, and graduated from the old Washington Street High School. The young ladies have spent several years at the Millville Conservatory of Music, also studying abroad. Prof. W. F. Collins is forming a threatre party to witness the recital. The party will include Professor and Mrs. Collins, Miss Nellie Van Antwerp and Professor and Mrs. Eilar, former teachers of the musicians.

Unto % 3fatur IT was spring in India, where 1 had been doing missionary work for nearly six years. As I entered my cottage a feeling of home sickness came over me. T began to wonder what had become of all my friends at home and especially my class mates. The mail had just arrived, bringing with it a copy of the Hagerstown Exponent, which I immediately began to read. It was dated April 3, 1925. Glancing over the front page I noticed the headlines — AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT Pleasant Visit Comes to Sudden End April 3,— Air. and Airs. Ernest Pollard and twins, Vivian and Ernest, had been visiting friends and relatives here and were returning to their home in Muncie when their Saxon touring car turned turtle throw- ing them several feet. ' Idle occupants were not seriously injured, and little damage was done to the car. Air. Pollard is proprietor of a Chop Suey Rcsturant in Aluncie. The next thing that I noticed was — DRIVER BADLY HURT April 3, — Walter V ichterman, driver for the Riggs Patent Medicine Company, was seriously hurt when he fell from his wagon yesterday. Air. Wichterman ' s attention was attr acted by several g ' irls, and a lunge of his horse caused him to lose his balance and fall, llis condition is reported better today. He has been connected with the Riggs firm for some time. I then turned to the personal column. 1 read several items, but recognized very few names until I came to — Air. and Airs. Gordon Showalter, of Modoc, are visiting friends and relatives here. Airs. Showalter was formerly Miss Kate Duggins. Iler husband is connected with a brokerage firm at Modoc.
