Housebreakers AT Havre De Grace

Housebreakers who were quite active
in Havre de Grace last summer, fall
and winter, ceased operations for =
time. In fact, it was said that several
of the gang had been recognized white
at work but they were not called to ac-
count Within the last few weeks the
robberies have been renewed One OF
the latest, which had unusual features,
occurred early one morning last week.
Thomas Young, who lives next door 90
w. N. Coale, on Washington street, was
aroused by noise and later heard a care
click. He arose and looking out of
window, saw man creeping around the
Coale house. The man removed a slat
from shutter, which he opened and
took the screen from uhe window and
threw 1t on the ground. He went
through the window and turned on an
electric light. Mr.. Young looked for
his gun, but could not nnd it and hal
laced to Mr.. Coale that robber was ~
his house. The latter rushed to a win
dow and snapped pistol several times,
but it missed fire. The robber mea j.
while, had run into the back yard, but
tripped on ropes OF tent used by
son Of Mr.. Coale. Finally he jumped
over fence into w. E. Penning's yard
with an oath to Mr.. Young, "Tll get you"
He got $3.50 from a pocketbook left on a
mantle shelf in the Coale house Mr.
Young says he knows the robber and
gave his description. The same night

small sum of money was taker The

POINTS PISTOL
AT AUTO PARTY

Robert C. Thackery, Esq, and wife
from Elkton to Newark, via Glasgow on
Tuesday evening, had a thrilling expe. l.
ence just beyond Cooch's Bridge, wne .t
a man standing by the roadside pont.u
revolver at thean as their car passed
They left Glasgow about dusk and just
as night was falling were nearing the
strip of woods beyond Cooch's, lonely
section of the road, well suited for q
hold-up. Mr.. Thackery and his chauf-
feur Dan Garrett, saw a man standing oy
the roadside. Just as the car was pass
ing the man, who was then beyond the
glare of the headlights, raised his arm
and pointed revolver at the occupants
OF the car, which could easily have been
sSsrved from its course and made 20
bowl> him over, but the, chauffeur kept
on, and the stranger did not fire
Near Glasgow, while the car had
stopped because cf a puncture in tire
another car containing several ladies
had passed. Mr.. Thackery surmised that
the party with the pistol, who had a
handkerchief over his head, perhaps
thought the ladies' were returning and
could easily be intimidated. Reaching
Newark, Mr. Thackery saw Bailiff Reed
ON the street ard told him Of the affair.
The officer and Justice Lovett and his
two sons went in search of the highway
man, but did not come UP with him. 1t
was learned that ne had troubled a man
walking along the road and also Mlss
Ethelwyn Maloney and a party OF g.rt
friends who were motoring to Townsend
Glasgow residents reported that a stran-
ger, seemingly demented, had been in
the neighborhood, who might be the party
figuring as the highwayman

Midnight Blaze AT North East

Shortly after midnight on Sunday fire
broke out in the building erected last
winter at Church Point, North East, by
Charles Biddle as stable for fish
traders, and in which he had nets and
other fishing apparatus stored. The fire
had gained such headway when discover
ed chat nothing could be done to save the
building, which was totally destroyed,
along with about $1,000 worth Of nets,
etc Fortunately there was little or NO
wind, and the blaze was confined to the
burned structure which had a metal roof,
and nearby buildings escaped. The ori-
gin of the fire is unknown and occurring
at the time it did led many to believe
that 1t might have been incendiary Mr..
Biddle carried no insurance.
