Lafayette Lady Locked in Church by Mistake—Was Uneasy.

Lafayette Oou ri er. Mrs. Harry Rank was locked in the West Sile Methodist church several hours Thursday afternoon, and had it not been for the unexpected return of a janitor it is probable that she would have had to spend the night in the building. Mrs. Rank went to the church to practice several new pieces on the pipe organ. The janitor was in the building at the time, but bo fore Mrs. Rank finished her practice he left and locked the doors Some time later Mrs. Rank pro pared to leave and found that there was ho available means of exit. There was no fire in the furnace of the church and the building was very cold. Mrs. Rank went to the balcony of the church, where she found a small pane out of one of the stained glass windows. She called for assistance each time a person passed on the sidewalk bo low. Several stopped and looked around the building, but could not see the lady and they would pass on. After some time the janitor returned to secure an article that he had left at the churoh and discovered Mrs. Rank. The lady is suffering no ill effects from her experience.
