Alleged Yeggman Arrested

Sheriff Barnes and Deputy
Sheriff McAllister on Saturday
night arrested Louis McAmato,
aged 20 years, employed as a
barber at Rising Sun, Cecil
county and lodged him in Elkton
jail on the charge of planning to
rob the post office in Havre de
Grace, where his father works at
repairing shoes. The arrest was
made at the instance of Postal
Inspector Plummer, who stated
that Bernard Tobin, a young man,
of Philadelphia, had received a
letter from Amato suggesting
that he get some nitro glycerine
and join him at Rising Sun and
they would attempt to rob the
Havre de Grace post office on Sat
urday night. Amato closely
questioned is said to have admit
ted writing the letter to Tobin,
who had boosted of his news, to
test his sand" A pawn ticket
for a gold ring pledged in New
York was found upon Amato.
Tobin and Amato it is surmised
may be connected with the gang
of "yeggs" that has been robbing
post offices in the Peninsula for
some time past.

Mr.. Craig solicits the support of
the voters of Fremont County on his
record, record of duty well and faith
fully performed. During all the vexa-
fious delay caused by the state tax
commissions desire TO make people
pay taxes on valuations they didn't
have, Mr.. Craig was among the first
to have his books ready for the coun-
ty treasurer. AND AT NOT ONE
CENT OF EXTRA COST TO THE
TAXPAYER. TIE books of his office
and the information therein contain
ed are at all times during office hours,
at the disposal of those who desire
to make use of them. His valuations
for 1915 were accepted by tie state
tax commission and but little change
was made in them. His valuations
for 1915 were practically the same as
he made them in 1913, his first year in
office. However. that year the state
tax commission increased them 25 per
cent In 1914. the valuations were
the same as the previous year, but the
tax commission ordered IL per cent
raise In 1914 the commission realiz-
ed the business of his figures and let
them go as he made them, with the
exception of the value of dairy cows.
which they raised from $57.45 to
$4,000 per head.
Mr.. Craig has systematized the
work of his office and is row in a
position to give his constituents the
highest efficiency.
Contrary to general custom of Of
ficedom Mr.. Craig sets the working
pace for his subordinates. He per-
sonally supervises the fixing of valu-
ations and and will gladly correct any
mistakes he may make in that line,
but he must be convinced that his
figures are erroneous.
Service and efficiency are what the
people pay for. and that's what they
get under Mr. Craig's administration.

he arrogate to himself and to his
party associates a monopoly of the

from observation and experience that
all good citizens possess a love of
country and that the only difference
among them in that respect Is the
divergent views they hold as to the
best means of promoting its welfare.
Democrats. as well as Republicans,
can vote for Judge Cooper without
doing violence to their party tradi.
tions. AS an officer he has always
been above party; the representative
of all the people.
