1t took Norris, plain farmers boy, son
of George Gillespie, New London. to put
the kbosh on one of these fake Philadal-
phia auto schools. Answering alluring
advertisement where for $35, full course
in auto training and good position as
chauffeur was guaranteed, the youth ap-
piled. paid his money and was sent to an
abandoned barn in the outskirts of the
city. Knocking at the door there was
heard great scuffling inside. Later he
was admitted, to find only broken down
auto truck and half dozen men playing
poker and rushing the growler." They
sought to have him join them but evading
the crowd, he cautiously sought and
secured evidence of the fraud. Taking a
copy of the advertisement he went to the
office of the Chief Postal Inspector. who
directed him to the U. S. District Attorney.
On the evidence he gave, the promoters
of the fraud were arrested. convicted and
given year and half in jail.-West

The large frame building in Perryville
occupied as store by M. E. Cole, and
the rear portion as a dwelling by the
family of Mrs. Sarah Gehr, was totally de-

parel or household goods. Nearby dwell
lings were imperiled and assistance was
telephoned for from Havre de Grace. the
fire company of that town coming to the
rescue and by heroic work preventing the
flames from spreading to other property.

appeared to have, started on the outside of
the building in an enclosed porch used
as storage place for coal oil, etc

Will Reclaim ZOO Acres.

Plans for the reclaiming of 2.2oo acres
of swamp land in Montgomery county
have been drawn up by the drainage
division of the Department of Agriculture
and Mr.. John B. Haswell, resident
drainage engineer for the State, has
taken up headquarters at Easton to study
local conditions, with the view of working
out the plans at the earliest possible date.
The area to be reclaimed lies between
Seneca and Edwards Ferry, on the north
bank of the Potomac. Through the pro-
posed system of bitches, the storm water
from the hills south of Poolesville can be
taken off, and backwater from the Po-
tomac will be prevented. The cost of the
work is estimated at $3o, 900. the expense
having been increased by the need for
several sluices under the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal.
Advocates of the proposed reclamation
project declare that by expending on an
average SIS an acre on land now assessed
at 81, the value of the land will be raised
to 500 an acre, or net profit of $Is2.ooo
for the 2.2oo acres involved.

Council Bluffs. Feb 10. L. Martin.
hostler at the Rock Island round
house. was the central actor IN a serio-

nearly cost him his life from suffocation
in a tank OF oil. Late last night he
went to the tank. which holds 1000 GAL
Ions Of the crude oil. 10 secure a can
for use in the round house. The oil
is ordinarily in a semi-fluid state and
the cold weather has hardened it TO
the consistency OF thick molasses. In
some way Martin became overbalanced
while reaching into the tank. giving one
yell as he Went down.
When help reached Martin he was
floundering felplessly in the tank. his
feet in the air waving frantIcally above
the dark and viscid liquid, his head and
shoulders sunk below the surface Of the
oil. He was yanked out before losing
consciousness. Since then his hair has
taken on an abnormal growth and the
local boys are thinking seriously of
bottling up the stuff and marketing it
for hair tonic Martin is not inclined to
regard the matter with so much levity.
He couldn't comb his head with a gar

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City. Feb. 10.-The Ole
Bangston $4,000 damage case against
Webster City will be settled. The mat
ter will come before the council Monday
evening. next for final ratification. The
city will settle the claim of Mr.. Bang
son ror sum much less than that sued
for, said to be about $1,000.
Mr.. Bangston is tailor by trade. He
is Z: years of age and while going
home over a Year ago he slipped on the
cement walk in front Of the Little Chi
cago cafe and sustained q broken hip.
He has been unable to work since. The
ice on the walk came from water which
ran from an eavespout off the Savings
bank block. Bangston has no family
and is in poor circumstances. Since the
accident the county has been caring
for him. The general opinion Is that
the man is easily entitled to some
measure of damage. A jury would be
certain TO give him something and the
city will doubtless save money by all
lowing him $1,000
