CAN’T A FELLER GO SEE RIB GUYRL?

Joe McColly, 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred McColly, occasioned considerable excitement in his home and the’ city in general Sunday night by his failure to show up for dinner or supper or turn in at bed-time. The boy lqft home some time during the forenoon, and when his continued absence caused concern in the home and inquiries were begun it was learned that, someone had seen him board a Monon train some time during the afternoon, and there all trace was lost. The parents were distracted and invoked the aid of the civil authorities, but about 9 o’clock Mom day morning a telegram was re* ceived from the boy from Edinburg, where he went .to visit the A. W. Sawin family—formerly of this city I —saying that he was in Edinburg and would be,, home on the afternoon train, and everyone breathed easier. One of MT. Sawin’s charming ters of about the lad’s age is said to have been the attraction which drew him to Johnson county.
