SCARED' liiTis Were Badly Frightened by Three Foreign Workmen Who Seemed Insistent IN KNOWING THEM Followed Girls from the Interurban and Grabbed One by the Coat. Three girls of the city who returned home on the 12:45 interurban car from Fort Wayne last night where they spent the afternoon, were badly frightened on arriving here by three foreign workmen who followed them and seemed insistent on forcing their company upon the girls. The men came Borne from Fort Wayne on the same car, and were drinking heavily. One of them sat .n the seat in tebnt of th egirls and half turned seemed to be listening to everything they said. The two othe.s got off at the Monroe street corner. but the one in front of the girls rode to the interurban station, as did the girls. The two men who got off at the other place followed the car on to the station, when they saw that their friend rode on. When the girls go off and started home, the men folic wed. No home people were on the streets and the girls hurried to the Murray hotel corner, which is always brilliantly lighted, and where often there are people astir. They were terrified to find no one about there, and stopped in the light to -. ait, hoping the men would paae on around them. Such was not the rasp, however. for one of the men grabbed one of the girl's coat and talked in a foreign language, while the other two men sidled up to the other two girls, evidently hoping that each would pro I vide himself with an escort. The ine whose coat was grabbed, howI , ver, struck at her “would-be" beau, ! with a roll of music she had. Just at that instant a Decatur Mend pass d. and at his word, the foreigners tstssed on. II” accompanied the girls home, and on going down Madison h)r .et they found that the foreigners had hidden themselves in an alley jiasl whlfii their way lay. When they sa wthat the girls had an escort -owever. they did not offer to molest them. and here was no further trouo ■ "" LAST VAUDEVILLE.
