Upon sight Of the riders the bandit
showed his gun at Empey and said,
"You - -. fall back into the

and the man crouched there with q
gun in each hand. The horseman
rode close to where they were conceal
ed and Empey could easily make them
out. They were Walt Anderson and

On another OCCASION he was telling
Empey about his plans when the
money was to be delivered. Empey
was to be forced TO take the lead and
when the canvas bag containing the
gold was dropped In the middle of
the road, Empey was 10 pick il up
and bring 1t to the bandit. Empey
said he demonstrated at the unfairness
OF this, saying that they might shoot
him through mistake The bandit re-
piled that that was exactly the way he
had figured 1t himself. Einpey asked
him what he would do II they failed to
bring the money, and the fellow said
he would write another otter, giving

the bandit to stay awake and talk

no one to talk to. The man was re-

six or eight feet above Employs roost

Three Arrests Followed Visit Of Blood
hounds 10 Sang Run Last Wednesday.

Last Saturday was Sang Runs day
at Justice Rudisill court. the outcome
of the bloodhounds trail, an account
of which was given in the Republican
of last week. Constables S. j. Thomas
and Walter Coddington, and several
citizens of that district kept up
vigilant watch for the supposed viola
tors of the peace of the neighborhood.
The result was, that two arrests were
made on Thursday.
Friday Deputy Sheriff Dewitt joined
in the hunt and one more arrest was
made.
The trial took place Saturday after
noon. A score or more farmers of
Sang Run district were present. The
harness stolen from Hamill Casteel
was found Friday morning and used in
the trial, Lester Lowdermilk was
committed to Jail for the December
term of court. The other two arrests
were discharged because of insufficient
evidence to hold them.
The farmers of that district are de-
termined to put stop to the stealing
going on in that sectian of Garrett
county, which had become a nightly
nuisance. More than one hundred
chickens have been stolen. The terri
tory operated over extended from Nc
Henry to Sang Run.
Cream, ham, shoulders. potatoes, a
barrel of cider, automobile tires and
inner tubing, horse collar, set of har-
ness, chickens. etc, have been stolen.

To Ship Houses TO Belgium.

Negotiations likely to be concluded
within the next few days will bring to
Brooklyn, N. Y. the most unusual as well
as one of the biggest of war orders. A
contract for the construction of 20, 600
portable houses, to be used in Belgium
and Northern France, is involved and
aggregates many millions of dollars.
The British government has figured as
the purchasing agent thus far in the
transaction.
The plan responsible for this trem-
endous order said to be the largest
single contract ever given for buildings
of the portable type-calls for the fur
nishing of structures suitable for dwell
ings, churches, schools and business
buildings. Entire cities and towns are
to be created from them to house the
refugees made homeless by the high
tide of the German advance in France.
Shipment of the buildings is expected
to be completed by winter.
1t is believed that Great Britain,
France and Belgium are acting jointly
and that England is representing the
other countries in the negotiations.

SEVEN SQUARE MILES
WERE DEVAS TAFT BYHAIL
Storm Of Last Friday Afternoon Did
Much Damage.

A terrific hail storm which is said to
have been the worst that can be recall
ed in that vicinity and which almost
completely destroyed the crops ragged
late last Friday afternoon between
Frostburg and Grantsville.
Many of the bail stones were as
large as marbles and in some places the
hail is said to have been four inches
deep, A heavy rain also fell at the
same time. The storm covered an
area of about seven square miles. 1t
tore tons of green fruit from the trees
and completely DESTROYED many other
crops. The greatest damage is said to
have been done to the corn.
William Evans, driver of the U. S.
mail wagon between Grantsville and
Frostburg and who was travelling
through the storm belt at the time says,
that snow also seemed to be mixed
with the hail and rain. Mr.. Evans
took large bag of the hail into
Frostburg.
The farmers living above Frostburg
and past the Garrett and AlleganY
county line for several days had been
sustaining damage to their crops by
heavy rain storms. On Thursday the
storm was so great that it washed two
feet of sand and rock into the home of
Daniel Warn. farmer living about
mile outside Of Frostburg, along the
National Pike. The Warn family was
away from the house and all the doors
and windows were open. The house is
located at the bottom of hill and the
sand and rocks were carried down by
the onrushing water.
The same storm visited other portions
Of the county, not doing so much dam
age, however, as it did along the Pike.
At Thayarville and other points few
miles north of Oakland, the hail was so
heavy that several hours after it ceased
falling it was piled in the woods to a
(depth Of four inches or more,

George W. Haulenbeek, of Baltimore,
writes the Baltimore Sun as follows:
Il wish someone would advise Presi-
dent Wilson to spend the remainder Of
the heated term in the cool and invig-
Grating atmosphere of Deer Park, on
the apex of the Allegheny Mountains.
/ never did think very much of our
presidents taking these far off New
England trips We all know that
Washington city is as hot in summer as
Alden at the mouth of the Suez Canal,
and while all agree that the President
should go somewhere, there is no need
of his going to New England for rest
and quiet, when the very best resort is
within six hours of Washington city.
Indeed Mr.. Wilson is said to have re-
marked upon reaching home just the
other day, that the summer capital was
not so much better than Washington,
after all.
WHY not, Washington City adopt this
Allegany region as their summer resort
or homes
