POST OFFICE
ROBBED OF $400 BY THREE
YECCMEN WHILE UNDER FIRE

safe was taken except the account
hooks. cannot explain why the
men did not take jewelry that was
di,playe1l In the. show cases OF my
iewclry store acrOss the aisle"
As soon as the robbery had BE-
come known people piled into the
streets armed with everything from
shot guns to pitch forks. The dep
MY sherifYs secured the surFOundtnR
country hut found no traces OF the
men except the tracks Of an auto
on the south end of town.
OLD HANDS DID JOB
That the men that did the Job
are not common yegRnsen ts the he
lief Of the officers. A woman across
the street from the post Office who
was awakened by the shots said
that she saw one Of the men stop
and light . cigarette after the
shooting had occurred. The yeGR-
men were in NO hurry to make their
getaway ~ they sauntrsed down
the street talking among thcn,-
selves.
It IL . theory Of the officers that
these men are the sane that blew
the Greeley post Office safe over .
wear ago. The same methods were
used In both instances. The 81. .OO0
worth Of stamps stOaen from the
Greeley Office have ncver beea 70
covered.
Did Yeggs Commit Murder?
Are the man or men who killed
John Zabrinski. jeweler of Brigh-
ton. early Sunday morning. the same
who cracked the safe In tho Platte
VILE post office? This morning
word was received from Brighton
that the jeweler. 70 years old. had
been murdered in his store. His
body was found this morning. II
is believed by officers that the crime
was committed by the same men
who robbed the post office early
this morning. Suspicion has been
placed upon a dish washer In the
Donaldson hotel at Brighton who
worked in the kitchen until Sunday
morning. He has only been In
Brighton q few days.
An arrest was made early thtf
morning when five men in an auto
were stopped here. They explained
that they were on their way home
from Cheyenne and were released
after their Identification had beer
established.

REPUBLICANS SELECT
Date FOR CONVENTION

Members of the Republican State and
County Committees, representing every
district of the State, held a conference
at the Republican headquarters in Will
mingtOn on Tuesday to discuss matters
in connection with the coming campaign.
Following the conference a meeting
of the State Committee was held and
August II was fixed as the date for the
Republican primaries and August 20 for
the Republican State Convention.
The keynote of the conference, it was
stated, was to stop the campaign of
Misrepresentation now going on with
respect to the Chicago convention.
The Republican National Convention
was discussed by State Chairman Ed
mund Mitchell and Ruby R. Vale, of
Sussex county, two members of the Del
aware delegation. Both explained the
contests of delegates, and State Chair
man Mitchell took up the case of Cali
fornia. He said he was inclined and had
intended to vote to seat the rejected
delegates until he saw the evidence.
He spoke of the election board returns
in one district showing that the Taft
delegates had been elected by majori-
tv Of 1000 votes. Aside from that, he
said, was the fact that California had
elected her delegates, not by Congress
sional districts as specifically provided
by the call of the convention, but at
large or by the unit rule.
He also discussed the case of Georgia
and the unanimous action deciding that
President Taft was entitled to all the
delegates.
Mr.. Vale explained the case of Texas
and furthermore showed that in the
State of Washington the Roosevelt dele
cation had purposely stayed away from
the regularly organized Republican con-
vention.
Congressman William H. Heald made
a brief speech pointing out that Gov.
Wilson, the Democratic presidential
nominee, had gone on record as fayorlng
absolute free trade. He also referred
to the writings of the New Jersey gov
ernor who contended that the Chinese
cOOlie was a better workman than the
average labor union member and that
the Chinese would be better for this
country than the Italians and the Poles.
Others who made brief speeches deal !
ing with the political situation, State
and National, were Governor Simeon S. |
Pennewill. Colonel John G. Townsend,
Insurance Commissioner Chas. H. Maui, |
State Senat tor Charles R. Miller, Colonel |
William D. Denney, Alden R. Benson,
Robert P. Edwards, Thomas W. Miller
I'd Charles H. Grantland.
mere were over one hundred repre-
tatiye Republicans in attendance at |

SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC.

The annual picnic of the Avenue NJ.
r. Sunday School, held on July 9th at
Chestnut Knoll, was the largest for
years, and was a great social success.
Thanks are due to Mr.. C. NJ. Hammond
for granting US the use of his premises,
lighthouses and boats; and though we
were surrounded by water, the use of
family pump proved one of the blessings
Uf the day. The mercury ran high, and
the thirst of both big folks and little
folks was almost Unsuitable. At every
tura came the cry: rs there any water?
Cal / get a drink?' The superinten-
Gent Of the school. DIR. Charles w. Reid,
had looked after the grounds and had
arranged tables ard seats. The cons
nit ee on boats made things pleasaI 4
tor the children. The ladies at the
coffee-urn gave US genuine campfire
cOffee-a nectar fit for the gods. The
table grOaned under its weight of picnic
goodies and plenty took the place of
Style. After everyone had eaten. as
folks do only at picnics, there came an
unstinted supply of cake and ice cream
vanilla, strawberry and chocolate.
The school want to thank the following
gentlemen who made the picnic possible
by the use of their automobiles, making
many trips back and forth so that in
addition to the pleasure of the afternoon
was added the joy of an automobile ride
to many who are not often so favored:
DR.. G. Layton Grier, Capt. Derrickson,
Messrs. Frank Richards, VIM. Draper,
VIM. Sipple, Jr., Wallace Handy, Chas
Hammond, and J. P. Pierce for provision
wagon. Among the guests of the after
noon were Rev. and Mrs. Savage, Rev.
and Mrs. James Carroll, and Mr.. and
Mrs. LittletOn Sammons. Everyone
had so pleasant on outing that we feel
sure none will want to miss it next year.
Mrs. J. P. Pierce.

CONDENSED news ITEMS
Paragraphs of a Local Nature
for Rapid Readers

The roads as we'll as the fields need
rain badly.
Don't miss the Alumni lawn fete and
dance tonight, July 18th.
The pasture fields felt the lack of rain
quickly, and the grazing is so poor that
some farmers began to feed their stock
hay.
The hot weather has been very favor
able to the corn crop, but a general rain
would be beneficial to it as well as for
tomatoes and the sweet potato acreage.
gThe first wheat threshed this season
and brought to the roller mills in Milford
was sold for 81 per bushel, and it was
of very high grade; the grains being
rounded and hard. Threshing is gener-
ally progressed in this part of Delaware.
Come to the New Century Club this
evening where the Alumni Association
will furnish you with music and a good
floor for dancing. Twenty five cents
a couple will be the admission price,
while refreshments will be served on the
lawn at the usual charge.
Cow peas are generally planted, and
was last year; which is in part accounted
for by the large hay crop harvested, and
the high price of seed peas. Better
plant the COW peas, and be assured of
plenty of coarse feed for next winter;
it will sell quick enough, if the farmer
does not need it.
The regular meeting of the w. c. T.
U. will be held at Chestnut Knoll on
Tuesday afternoon, July 10th. This will
be basket picnic. All members and
friends are invited to meet at the home /
of Mrs. James P. Pierce, to start at
o'clock. Text word, Pleasure. If |
that day is stormy, the picnic will be
held the next fair day.
Young chickens are going to market in
quantities from the farms of |
lower Delaware, and the prices realized |
have ranged from Is to % cents, accord |
ing to the size and breed of chickens.
The Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island .
Reds bring the higher prices. The Mil
ford market makes from FIVE to six cents
difference in their favor per pound.

ALUMNI PICNIC.

On Friday last, most enjoyable pic
mic was held at Chestnut Knoll, being
attended by the members of the Alumni
Association and their friends. When the
afternoon had been spent pleasantly all
gathered around the picnic table and
partOOk of the various good things which
were placed upon it. Following this was
a business meeting, at which it was de-
cided to so alter or amend the cOnstitu-
tion, that all those who have ever grad
uated from the Milford Schools may be
members of the association. This will be
more fully discussed at the next meet
ing, which will be held with Miss Clara
Pierce, on Friday evening, August 2ndl
Tonight, Friday, July 18th, the associa-
ton will give dance in the New Cen
tury Club Rooms, the admission being
% cents for each couple, while refresh
ments will be served on the lawn at the
regular prices and a charming gypsy
will fortell the future of all who will
cross her palm with a coin.

DRUNKEN MAN WAS
CAUSE OF COLLISION

After having spent most of Sunday
last in drinking, Henry Wiley started
for his Greenwood home about dusk that
evening with his horse in a dead run.
The man was lashing his animal for
every few steps. Several persons on
Causey Avenue claim to have narrowly
escaped being run over by the fast NOV
ing team as it sped down the street.
Further down thelstreet, in front of the
residence of James P. Pierce, G. Mar
shall Townsend was standing in an auto
mobile, which he was driving, at the
curbing. Major William Marshall was
coming up the street after having made
a call in his automobile. AS the drunken
man went dashing down the street,
Major Marshall found himself in the
trying position of either having to smash
into the Townsend car or to hit the
horse and probably injure the man in
the vehicle. He chose the former course
and as a result both cars were damaged,
Marshall's receiving the minor injuries.
The Townsend car had an axle badly
bent, a spoke cut almost in half, one of
the gas lamps bent, the reflector broke,
and other small scratches. The car which
Major Marshall was driving had the
radiator broke in a small place and the
crank bent. Wiley was arrested and
locked up over night, and on Monday
morning he was brought before Alder
man Latchum and fined on several diff
ferent charges, some of them being for
and disorderly conduct,
breaking the speed limit, etc. The fines
and costs amounted to S22, which he
paid and was released. There have been
complaints from the residents of that
section of the town recently about the
manner in which horses are being raced
on that street and it is up to the town
to break up the practice.

DR.. MORGAN ILL.

The many friends of the Rev. DIR. s.
M. Morgan will hear with regret of his
serious Illness at his home, Mt. Salem
M. E. Parsonage in Wilmington. Dr.
Morgan was taken suddenly i'll last
week and ever since his condition has
been very grave. TuesdIy afternoon
the greatest anxiety was felt for him,
but he passed fairly comfortable
night and seems a little stronger now.
His condition is still critical. DR..
Morgan is one of the leading ministers
of the Wilmington Methodist Conference
and has served many Of its foremost
churchs. He was presiding elder of
Dover District and has been a delega e
to the General Conference. Several
years ago, while presiding elder, he
was critically i'll at his home in Dover,
with little hope of his recovery, but he
rallied and resumed his church work in
which he has been very successful. He
has served Townsend, HillsbOro, Milford,
and Mt Salem as pastor, this being his
second pastorate at Mt. Salem.
