one trip was lost Sunday afternoon. The Kaukauna car was stalled on the corner
of Kaukauna and Taylor streets having reached that point just when they were

thinking the car had left the track, as this was the point where a bad wreck
occurred several years ago.

Burgettstown, Pa. – At the point of a
revolver Miss Margaret Gribben is alleged to have walked Henry Tiltron out of
the theater and delivered him to the office of the justice of the peace. The

sat behind Miss Gribben, and he asked her to remove her hat so he could see.
Later the manager of the theater preferred a charge against Miss Gribben of carrying
a concealed weapon. A hearing will be held late today. No charges were referred
against Mr. Tiltron.
