Charged With Stealing.

Elmer Baker and Harry Baker, sons
of Henry Baker of near Catoctln Furnace
and Robert Ashbaugh, were arrested
last Thursday by C. w. Lidie on the
charge of stealing chickens at various
places in this section of the county.
They were given preliminary hearing
that evening, and another hearing May
30th before Justice Cadow.
According to evidence brought out at
the hearing the accused had been bring
ing chickens to Weybrights store and to
huckster Ross Eyler and selling them.
Orders were given Weybright by the
Baker boys father to make checks pay
able to him and not give the boys money.
For the last batch of poultry brought in
to Weybright, the check was made to
the father, and soon afterward Ash
baugh came to the store and said the
chickens belonged to him. At the present
time Weybright has both chickens and
money, and is waiting for the owner of
the chickens to come forth and identify
them.
At the hearing on May goth Ashbaugh
failed to appear and is still at large.
The Bakers were held under bond and
in default of which they were committed
to Jail for action of the court.
Several boys by the name of BETTER
of the vicinity of Woodsboro were ac-
cused by the above of being in the gang
but evidence sufficiently strong could not
be secured to hold them and they were
dismissed.
1t is reputed that chickens were being
stolen in daylight along the road leading
from Hoover's Mill to Harry Nogle farm
the parties chasing chickens in fields AND
finally landing them in their conveyance
1t is stated that the above boys were
also stealing corn by the sack and bring.
ing it to town and disposing of it.

BuStin' En- Up.

During the past week reports have
come to town stating that auto wrecks
have been occurring near Lewistown.
First were two cars in passing came in
collision, Ford being upset and occu-
pants more or less injured. Next that
young lady running Buick ran into
culvert head near Lewistown, the car
being demolished but nobody seriously
injured. 1t often happens that $1,000
beauty changes almost instantly into an
almost worthless pile of junk.

were placed emblems of various designs
and punches of beautiful flowers in men,

Chronic Constipation.

Perhaps you have never thought of it.
but this disorder is due to lack of moist
ure in the residual matter of the food.
If you will drink an abundance of water
eat raw fruits and take lots of outdoor
exercise, you may be able eventually to
overcome it entirely. In the mean time
use the most mild and gentle laxatives.
Strong and harsh cathartics take too
much water out of the system and make
bad matter worse. Chamberlain
Tablets are easy and pleasant to take.
and most agreeable in effect. GIVE them

Rates Upheld.

Increased railroad, telephone and tele-
graph rates ordered by the Railroad Ad-
ministration and the Postmaster-General
were sustained by the Supreme Court at
Washington Monday, which held that the
war powers conferred by Congress upon
the President included sweeping control
over the railroad and wire systems with
supreme and conclusive" authority to
fix intrastate rates.
These questions were decided in two
opinions rendered by Chief Justice White,
the one relative to the railroad rates be-
ing unanimous, while Justice Brandeis
dissented in the telephone and telegraph
decision, without rendering seperate
opinion. The opinions affect litigations
which have been started in about forty
States and which involved the validity OF
both rate orders.

the following letter from his Lieutenant
which is very satisfactory and consoling
to them:
A. P. o. I'll,
May 10, 1919.
Mrs. Mary E. Stitely,
Thurmont, Md.
My dear Mrs. Stitely:
In response to your letter, it is my very
painful duty to inform you that your son,
Clifford Stitely, of thi Company, died of
wounds received in battle on November
9th, 1918. l am able to give you few
details as l was present when he was
wounded.
We were in very hot sector, just east
of the Mouse River. On November 5th,
Clifford was member of ration detail
that had volunteered. to go to the rear to
bring up food to the men of our Company
who were in the front lines. On the way
back he had to 60 for short distance
along a road which runs from Brabant to
Reville, through the Bots de la Grande,
Montague, and which was always being
shelled by the Germans. Clifford passed
along this road about II O'Clock of the
morning of November 5th. when Ger
man shell struck just behind him, explod-
ing, and wounding him in three places.
l was with him at the time and immedl-
ately dressed his wounds. Two of them,
very slight, were in his right shoulder,
while the third was lower down, and the
shell fragment had gone in deep, piercing
his right lung. l carried him back
short distance to the first aid dressing
station and put him in an ambulance.
He was then sent to the American Hos
pital at Glorieux, in the Department of
the Meuse, just outside of Verdun.
Here, in spite of the doctors efforts,
he died on the afternoon of November
9Th, and was buried on the same date in
the American Military Cemetery just out
side the Hospital. His body lies in grave

ment about his grave, please give all the

know that nothing can say can de-
tract from your grief. Ever since Cliff
ford came to our Company he showed
himself an exemplary soldier, and his
cheerfulness and good nature made every
one his friend. In battle he was entirely
a man, fearless and cool, always willing
to help others, cheerful under any con-
ditions, he inspired all the men around
him with courage and determination to
fight and win. He fought magnifcently,
and proved himself in every way worthy
of the name of an American Soldier.
We all feel his loss deeply and sympa-
thize with you. If there is anything
can do. or any further information can
give, l would deem it favor if you would
let me know.

REV. FRANCIS BLOY
 ID RETURN ID MESA

MESA. May 29.-The many friends of Rev. and Mrs. Francis A. Bloy and their son and daughter, will rejoice to know that Mr.Bloy has written his of ficial acceptance of the ministry of St.
 Marks Episcopal church at Mesa After a stay of two years in Mesa, the popular minister, was changed to Globe, where he has been doing his customary efficient work. When he came to Mesa the church building had a considerable debt upon it and the congregation was somewhat discour- aged. At the cost of heavy financial sacrifice MT Bloy labored, himself and family enduring, cheerfully, the strait ened circumstances of a missionary pastor. The church grew, the debt lessened and a splendid bungalow rec tory was built Finally Bishop Atwood. realizing the ability of his missionary. decided that both for the benefit of the congregation at Globe, and the financial betterment of MT. Bloy, it would be well to have him take up the Globe work. Every effort was made
