A rather strenuous joke arose out of some ordinary circumstances, Fri day night, when the many friends of Frank Sheets, of the real estate firm of Payne & Sheets, thought he was lost and turned out In a body to hunt for him. All the time Mr. Sheets was sitting calmly at home, under his own vine and figtree, cleaning fish. . Friday Mr. Shee's and Master Rus sell Bradley, aged five years, went a few milesup river in a buggy to fish. Mr. Sheets left the buggy and horse in charge of Master Russell, and went into the trees and under growth to the stream. Soon after his departure Master Russell, ' probably getting tired waiting, complacently drove back to Enterprise and thought nothing about it. In the meantime Mr. Sheet finding the rig gone, and surmising that it had probably been driven back to town, thought that he would whip the' stream down, Inasmuch as he had to walk anyway. In the meantime Mrs. Sheets thought she would drive back ta pet Mr.- Sheets, but when she arrived At, Sheets, being already on his way down river, could not be found. By this time It was dark. Arriv ng home before the "lone flsher nan" did, Mrs. Sheets became wor ked. The news spread rapidly. lght was coming on. The many rwnds of Mr. Sheets begani to pic ture all sorts of accidents that might have happened to him. Then he hunt -began. Persons living up he valley were telephoned to. And .he upshot of the affair was that, probably 200 ipersons, out with lan terns and hallooing unto the night, ivere hunting for the "lost" man. 3. L. Burnaugh finally thought it night be well to visit the residence if Mr. Sheets again, and did so. .-le found Mr. Sheets sitting calmly n the kitchen floor -cleaning fish. The mystery was shortly explained Mr. Sheets had come in after lightfall with a good string of trout, while the "man hunt" .was going on, ind he was Innocent of any turmoil als absence created. At about 12 o'clock telephone messages were Jent abroad sufficiently to reach all the "man hunters'' and call them aack to their homes, and whose treat Is It, anyway? NOTICE.
