RAILROAD ROBBERY COMMITTED BY THEOLOGICAL STUDENT On the night of February 11th one of the most unusual and daring incidents ever known to the community took place where, as it is alleged, Mr. Charles Brown stole a Pullman from the com- pany to which it belongs. After much difficulty he succeeded in dislodging it from its usual position and taking it about the streets of the town. It seems that Mr. Brown believes that the Pull- man belongs to him, for when con- fronted with the accusation, his only statement, it is said, was "Iva Pullman." YOUNG SCIENTIST GIVES POISON TO A STUDENT Miss Milicent Hathaway, Professor of Science and Mathematics in Cedar- ville College, and known to many out- side of College society, is said to have committed one of the worst crimes ever known to those in charge of the insti- tution. The victim of the crime, Mr. Harper Bickett, claims that while he was work- ing in the Chemistry laboratory he went to Prof. Hathaway's desk to ask a ques- tion concerning his work. And that while there she knowingly and inten- tionally gave him several ounces of cy- anide of potassium. The unfortunate victim is still living at this writing, al- though it was feared for some time that the strain produced by carrying the bot- 48 tle of poison from her desk to his own might cause him to lose the use of his right arm. DEAN OF COLLEGE • BEATS HIS WIFE UP Professor Leroy Allen, popular and talented professor and theologian has been accused of beating his wife up. It is alleged that the act was com- mitted on Saturday morning, March 6th, at their home in Cedarville. His intimate friends and neighbors all testify to the fact that in the past he has been a model husband and has al- ways shown the greatest consideration for his family. The only explanation that can be of- fered is that he had been so engaged with his college work during the past week, that it was quite necessary for him to rise at an early hour in order to complete the preparation for his sermon for the following day. He left on the 8:15 a. m. train for Cincinnati as usual. NEW REGULATION FOR SECURING MAIL Due to the heavy mortality resulting from the rushing and jamming while trying to secure the weekly, letter from the P. 0. Box, it has been found neces- sary to use force in carrying out the idea of Safety First. Hereafter all students will fall in line, single file, before seek- ing to receive their mail. •-a
