Asheville, July 2—In union there is strength, and sometimes revenge.
Three Asheville girls tricked curbstone cowboy into a trip that lost him his self-confidence and his clothing, following an episode last night during which he forced the sister of one of the trio to walk home from an automobile ride, according to reports Thursday. An Asheville girl had accepted a lift in the car of the youthful sprout from the sugar-plum tree, it is reported. The youth drove out along the Leicester road and parked his car and started a battle that ended in the girl walking home. When she arrived there, weary and slightly footsore, the girl told an older sister of his mistreatment.
The older sister started on the warpath and deliberately accepted a ride from the same youth who had picked up her sister. A trip down the Leicester road followed and the car weas parked. According to the plans of the sister of the first girl, another car also drove up and parked. Two friends of hers, both girls, were in it. The three gathered together, seized the youth, stripped him of clothing, put it in their own car and drove off, leaving him to follow unclad in his car. His clothing was delivered at his home before he arrived, by the three girls.
