BOY ATTEMPTS BANK HOLD-UP.
Bat Seventeen-Year-Old Lad Loses
His Nerve at Sight of Pistol.
Laurel, Md., Sept. 8.?A youth
giving the name of John R. Morgan,
of Mojav, Cal., and his age at 17
years, attempted to hold up the Citiiens'
National Bank here to-day at
a pistol point. He lost his nerve,
however, when he was confronted
with a revolver in the hands of the
cashier. The boy said he had beat
his way to Washington two days ago.
Wandering off to Laurel he saw the
bank building here.
"I decided to rob the bank or kill
every man in it," said the boy. Wearing
a "false face," a long automobile
coat, and a blue cap, he entered the
4?Vi^v Ananin or Vimir
U(XliA WIIUI IIJ 111^ Vi/VAXiUJ) MVM??
He demanded that A. L. Bevan, paying
teller, should fill the hag, (threatening
to shoot unless his command
was obeyed. Bevan at first tried to
argue with the young "bad" man.
Then he seized a revolver and fired
a shot. The would-be robber dropped
mask and bag and fled through
the open door. A posse was quickly
organized, but the boy eluded his
pursuers for several hours before he
was captured.
A Grandmother at Thirty.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10.?A grandmother
of tow chilrden at the age of
mother of two children at the age of
Mrs. E. W. Bender, of this city. It
is claimed that Mrs. Bender is the
youngest grandmother on record and
her case is one of the most remarkable
outside of tropical countries.
? - ' _ o - ^
Mrs. tfenaer, wno is <51 years uiu,
was born in 1880 in South Carolina.
She was married to E. W. Moore, at
Columbia, S. C., in 1892. She was
only 13 years and three months old
when her first child was born. This
child, a daughter, was married in
1899 to Edward Sinclair, and in
January, 1910, gave birth to twins,
I the mother being barely 46 and the
; grandmother not yet 30.
I In January of this year Mrs. Bender's
daughter gave birth to another
child, the third of the grandchildren.
Mr. Moore died when Mrs. Sinclair
wag an infant. Later his widow
married E. W. Bender and that
i union has been blessed by several
children. Physicians claim it is rare
in this part of the world that a woman
becomes a grandmother even in
the early thirties.
I "I am a Disgrace to Myself."
? ~ ^ "t j
New York, sept. iz.? 1 am a ux?grace
to myself, to my country and
my friends," said William B. Ford
to-day when - arraigned before a
magistrate for sentence on his plea
of guilty of stealing two five-cent
subway tickets. "But I am not responsible.
I am the victim of some,
force I cannot resist. I used to be a
decent man."
Ford graduated from the University
of Tennessee and was counsel

NATHAN JOHNSON ACQUITTED.
Professor who Killed Pupil's Father
Freed by Jury.
Tennile, Ga., Sept. 9.?Prof. Nathan
Johnson was to-day liberated
from the charge of murdering Dr.
J. H. Kelly on the streets of Tennile
last March. After being out for two
hours and thirty minutes the jury
brought in a verdict of justifiable
homicide. Cheers rang through the
court room when the verdict was announced.
-The shooting last March followed
the expulsion of Kelly's son from the
Johnson School and resultant bad
blood. Both families are prominent
in Middle Georgia.
Girl Talks About Outrage.
Beverly, Kan., Sept. 13.?There is,
nothing. either of the martyr or the
? -? "?tr
culprit aoout ivuss iviary v,ua,uiuc:i!ain
whom masked men and hoys
tarred and feathered on a lonely road
at Shady Bend, near here, a few
nights ago.
A correspondent visited Miss
Chamberlain at her father's home on
the outskirts of Beverly. The girl
is pretty, slight of figure, gentle, refined
in manner; it seems incredible
that members of the best families of,
Lincoln county, now in jail or under
bonds, could have been guilty of the
cowardly act to affright and humiliate'
her.
It is a ccJmmon report at Shady
Bend that prominent women incited
the attack on Miss Chamberlain by
falsely informing their husbands,!
brothers and sons that she had told
malicious lies about them.
"If those accused of the wretched
assault are guilty," said Miss Chamberlain,
in a calm tone, "they are
men and boys who have known me
for years and who pretend to be 'my
friends. Not a hint of prejudice j
came to me in Shady Bend before the
attack on me. ,
"After the assault I had no suspicion
of the motive for it until I asked
the man who had tricked me into
driving with him that night. Even
now I cannot understand it, for I
never have been guilty of any act
that I need be ashamed of or that
might make me an undesirable person
in any community."
Edward Ricard asked Miss Chamberlain'
to go driving with him. He
was arrested, gave bond, got out of
Shady Bend, was arrested again and
is in the county jail. It is said he
told friends he was paid $500 for his
part in the conspiracy. .
So horrified was she that Miss
Chamberlain cannot clearly describe
the shameful scene'when her assailants
partly undressed her and tarred
and feathered her. v
"After the masked men appeared
and seized me I was so frightened
that I can't recall much else," she
said. "My recollection is that I
screamed and called for Ed Ricard
to come to my aid. I do not ire me mhAr
hr?w T er>t hank in the buefiTV nor |
much of. my return to my boarding
house. I did not recognize the masked
men."
To prove her spirit is not broken,
Miss Chamberlain asserts that she
expects to return to Shady Bend and
resume her position as clerk in L. V.
Green's store.

" T??a ftAAA !? A
UVeu, OUt f?vv 19 in nsucai
York Springs, Pa., Sept. 14.?Having
no faith in banks, Jno. Funk, of
Arendtville, has beem keeping his
savings in various hiding places in
his home.
This summer he placed the money,
$700 in bills, in a leather wallet in
the oven of an old-fashioned tinplate
stove.
Mrs. Funk kindled a fire in the
stove yesterday to take away the
dampness caused by the recent rainy
weather.
Coming into the room fifteen minutes
later, she discovered the odor
of burning leather. Opening one of
the oven doors, she found the pocketbook
badly burned. All but $100
of the bills had been destroyed, and
the remainder will be sent to the
treasury department at Washington
for redemption.
He Needed It More.
I A minister meeting a neighbor's
boy who had just come out of a fight
with a fearful black eye, put his hand
on the boy's head and said:
"My boy, I pray you may never
fight again, and that you may never
, receive another black eye."
"That's all right," said the boy.
"You go home and pray over your
own kid. I gave him two of 'em."
