Who Were They Hiding From and Who Were They.

A couple whose suspicious actions caused some wonder were in town Thursday. The man was about 50 years old and the woman somewhat younger. They came on the early morning train from the south and were let oy the train on the north side of the track. They dodged into F. W. Tobias’ restaurant and going to the window at the rear watched across the track and talked with each other about avoiding some one at the station. A man looked about the depot and finally came across the track and looked into the front part of the restaurant but the couple who were avoiding him were concealed from view by the show cases and tables. The man left and went toward town. Mr. Tobias asked the couple what they wanted and they replied that there was nothing they wanted. He informed them that he did not want his restaurant made a hide and seek place and the couple took their baggage and walked north. They were not seen again until just as the afternoon passenger train, due at 3:31, arrived and they boarded it. If the blush of teens had been on the cheek of the girl it would have looked like an elopment, but they were old enough almost to be in the grandparents class and their actions could not be solved.
