From Dayville comes an amusing | story of the attempted holdup of a oung man and two young ladies whom he wa. orting home from a May basket par The holdup was what is led a “frame-up” in some sections our country and was engineered by the young fellow who was held up and by four of his friends. The four friends acted as highwaymen, pretend- ing that they wanted to kidnap one of the voung women, and each allowed himself to be knocked out, dropped stiff in the road, by . well directed punches that did not have enough steam behind them to bowl over a cat. The act was well staged, however, and the young escort accepted as a hero. Information of the affair was rushed to a constable and he, p pared to do business with real road agents, was quickly on the trail. The | result was the capture of an inno- cent party, on his way home to Wil- msviile, and his release after he had demonstrated that he had nothing to do with the affair. The yvoung ladies were not let in on the joke, so what provided a great deal of fun for the perpetrators was not so amusing to them, for the time being. SHERIFF.GRIMSHAW'S BUSY DAY.

Iliness of Father Compels Her to End Duties as Librarian — Directors Prai Her Work. Owing to the serious illness of her father, Miss Eveline H. Curtiss has been compelled to resign as librarian of the Danielson Free Public library. She commenced work as an assist- ant to Miss Emma C. Hammond, for- mer librarian for many years. Upon the death of Miss Hammond five years ago Miss Curtiss was ap- pointed ilbrarian and since then has had the entire management of the library and by her executive and bus- inesslike methods, leaves it in splen- did shape for her successor. During her admiflistration the books have been card catalogued and reclassified and a system of book arrangement in- augurated such that the number of books issued for any given month is easily registered and known. At a meeting of the directors res- ting forth that the resignation of Miss Curtiss is accepted with reluctance by the directors of the Danielson Free Public library; that the directors regret her inability to serve longer as libra- rian and appreciate the intelligent and faithful service given the library and its patrons by her during the last five vears. Henry M. Danielson, one of the li- | brary directors, was chosen librarian | with Miss Hortense Griffith and Miss | Amelia B. Hutchins as assistants. i each floor level. .
