Tells a Strange Story of Being
Robbed by a Man Dressed as
a Woman at Harrisburg.
Harrisburg, May 17.— A Mr.
Palmer, claiming to be a detec
tive, charges that he and Wil
ford Highfield of this place were
held up and robbed of their valu
ables by a man dressed in wo
man’s clothing. The develop
ments were most unusual.
Three weeks ago the Poinsett
county jail was burned down, it
is thought by incendiaries.
Palmer has been working on the
case, and yesterday, thinking he
had sufficient evidence, he ar
rested Wilford Highfield, John
Huey and Arthur Hamilton, all
young men residing here. They
were taken before a justice oi
the peace and were each bound
over in the sum of $3,000 tc
await the action of the grand
jury. Thay gave bond and were
released.
Palmer charges that it was
Hamilton who held him up.

fault of which he went back to

Time Tells
The 5tory.
There is a big difference be
tween the cost of making a first
class sewing machine, embodying
the best materials and workman
ship, and one which is made in the
cheapest manner. The buyer of
the cheap machine soon pays the
difference of price in the constant
cost for repairs, to say nothing of
its annoying inefficiency.
