Miss Ethel Tucker reeled another success
last Ulght at Ferguson's theatre. Although
tho atldienco was not as large as that on tho
opening, yet what it lacked in numbers was
bountifully mado up in enthusiasm. "That
French Woman" was upon the boards last
night, and to say that Miss Tucker's work
was superb is not overstepping tho bounds.
It is a strong modern drama, and gave tho
star an opportunity to display her ability to
good advantage, which she grasped with
much forco and passion. Her support was
excellent. Mr. Meldon again won much
praiso, as did tho specialties introduced by
tlio Members ol tho company. Ijhcro are
very few high-priced shows that givo as
good a performance as doos tho Ethel Tuckor
company. To-night they will present for
the first time hero tho military drama, "The

Occurrences Which Arouse the Ire of
Maple Hill People.
A YOUNG WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE.
Halted and Chased on the Road by a Masked
Man Who Disappeared In the Bushes
When Another Woman Appeared.
Search for a Husband.
Tho residents of Maple Hill aro consider
ing the advisability of organizing a vigilance
commlttco for tho purposo of breaking tip tho
practices of cranks and others who aro greatly
annoying pcoplo who aro obliged to travel
between that placo and this town. For the
benefit of those not acquainted with the
torritory It may bo stated that the highway
is extremely lonely. It is narrow, hilly, has
almost innumerable turns, audktho sides aro
covered by a honvy growth of laurel bushes.
It affords a splendid placo for people in
clined to ovil deeds and being very distant
from placos of abodo tho cries of a helpless
victim are fruitless unless somo other
travolor happens along.
A young woman of Maplo Hill tells a story
of an oxperionco sho had last Saturday. She
lbhors notoriety, and for that reason her
namo is withheld. Sho camo to this town
on the day stated and made purchases, start
ing on the return home at about ten o'clock
in tho morning. When walking through ono
of the most lonesome parts of tho highway
sho was startled by a masked man suddenly
leaping from tho bushos nt tho sido of the
road. He was soveral .yards ahead of
tho young woman and stood as if
waiting for hor to walk up to him. He had
turned his back to his intended victim, evi
dently trying to conceal tho fact that his
faco was masked, but a glimpse of it had
been caught when tho stranger jumped to
tho road over a ditch. Tho young woman
was at first almost paralyzed by fright, but
sho quickly recovered possession of hcrsolf
and ran back towards this town. Tho un
known man followed at a brisk walk for
several yards, but as another woman walk
ing from Shenandoah appeared around a
turn in the road, the man took to his
heels in the bushes.
Tho young woman who had escaped and
tho new arrival returned to Columbia Park,
whero they boarded an electric car and went
homo by way of Yatesvillc. It is said this
occurrujito took placo in tho vicinity whero
a man attempted to attack a young lady
school teacher a few years ago. The people
aro very much exercised over tho matter and
if the offender is caught ho will be bevercly
dealt with.
The peoplo of Maplo Hill are also much
annoyed by tho actions of a strango woman
who frequents tho highway. She claims that
her husband deserted her and is working
at Maplo Hill. Night and day she' patrols
tho highway and when anybody approaches,
malo or female, sho rushes up to them and
scrutinizes their countenances. Her actions
alKird amusement to tho men who come in
contact with her, but soveral women
have been brought to tho verge of illness by
the shocks dno to tho strango conduct. The
woman withholds her identity and seems de
termined to locato tho alleged truant hubband
by her personal cflbrts.
