Cohn’s store, which is in charge of Charley Frank. Mr. Frank finally locked up the store, and went to his residence to escape from the mob. A large window in the front part of the store was broken.

police.
Rude, it was reported, had
been “knocking down” on receipts at one of the shows. He got into a brawl with other employes and city officers were summoned about 7:30 p. m. It was decided the best thing to do with the trouble-maker was to
order him to leave town. Police also took Anthony Lip-
king into custody about midnight Friday on a charge of public intoxication. He was lodged
lives of the drivers themselves 1 in jail pending a court hearing.
