         Remarkable Coincidence Saves Officer
           Hunt for Suspect.
           
         Traverse City, Mich., December 13. - 
         MAY PIERCE, a White Cloud young woman, this
       afternoon asked Sheriff JOHNSON if she could
       use the telephone booth at the court house.
         He told her she could as soon as he answered
       a long distance call. The girl, waiting, stood
       so that he could plainly see her. To his sur-
       prise the long distance call was from a White
       Cloud woman who alleged that Miss PIERCE had
       taken her blue silk skirt, and who wanted her
       arrested.
         As the description came over the wire, the
       sheriff compared it with Miss PIERCE and at
       its conclusion, as it fitted perfectly, charged
       the girl with theft. Miss PIERCE said the woman
       was her cousin and had given her the skirt,
       which she still had on, but she promised to
       send it back.
