Philadelphia police for a series OF
crimes, are believed today to have
led the seven bandits who yesterday
afternoon .swooped down on the
Sandy Spring, Nd, Savings Bank,
killed Director Francis M. Hallowell
and made away with $4,000 in cash
and securities.
States Attorney Thomas L. Daw-
son, of Montgomery county, who is
directing the hunt for the bandits,
today was in communication with
police authorities throughout the

at noon was that two automobiles
seen yesterday in Elliott City and
Damascus were used by the bandits.

cupants questioned at length, but no

Three posses are engaged in the
search up and down every highway

These facts were furnished Attor-
ney Dawson this morning:
Two automobiles, carrying stran-
gers, attracted attention in Ellioott
City yesterday morning. One OF them
was the Hudson with the red wheels,
Shortly after noon the two cars
were in Damascus, eighteen mases
beyond Sandy Spring.
At Damascus, the two cars were
driven about the town and frequently
the occupants were seen to stop and
appear to be in serious conference.
The Hudson car left Damascus
leading the second car, the make OF
which Is not known.

the market. when prices OF other
commodities had not induced the i'm
migration of peoples disinterested in
dairying and the upbuiiding of the
lands, homes and community. Four
years have elapsed and you have had
fabulous prices for alfalfa Promises
were forgotten; farms changed hands
over night and again the next day;
leases were made Mt prices that would
have bought the land few years
previous, and we suffered in the gen
eral scramble because dairying was
new and 1t was not believed it could
compete with the high prices of other
products. Even so. We have built
several plants since LaJunta all of
which now supper. tho investment
and show a healthy increase in milk
receipts.
A point has now been reached in
the operation of the La Junta con-
densary, where nothing short of an
actual and continued increase in the
supply of milk coming to the con-
densary will warrant our continuing
10 operae it. We say this with the
deepest regret and not without due
regard for the further burden which
we must assume in an investment
that is dead, and such step will
only be taken by us because we are
compelled to do SO. In view of the
vast amount of money we have spent
in establishing our plant. encourag-
ing the dairy industry throughout
the Valley, you can readily under
sand we do not voluntarily renounce
the benefits we are entitled to
through these efforts, but we are
compelled to do so by the present in
difference of the farmers and dairy
men who must do their part if we are
able to continue opei ating a conden-
sary
When VIC came to La Junta we did
so because conditions and the prom
ise5 of support given us warranted
the belief that we could establish a
condensary as permanent industry
The next four or five months will de-
termine whether or not the dairymen
IN and near La Junta tributary to the
condensary want a market for their
milk such as we have been offering
.hem in the past four years. We
have on hand at the present time
about four or five months stock of
supplies. and If. at the end of that
period, unless we have positive as
surance from the farmers themselves
m the form of general increase in
the amount of milk received, we will
De automatically forced to cease oper-
alton of the plant at La Junta.
We have many loyal and faithful
supporters of our cause and If 1t be-
comes necessary for us to take this
step, we want to assure them we ap-
preciate the support they have given
US during the trying days we have
Just passed through. and to also state
that four years hence, their neighbors
and the absentee landlord will agree
that they were right in supporting
an institution such as the people of
La Junta and the surrounding COM
should have had just cause to
be proud OF. Yours truly,

Condensary Is
Liable to Quit

The milk condensary at La Junta
Is likely to quit business before long.
. In other words 1t will quit operations
and the plant will be dismantled un-
less there is an increased supply OF
the raw material More milk is need
ed. The opposite to what the COM
pany had expected has happened. The
supply of whole milk has diminished
rather than increased since the plant
commenced operation four years ago.
The company makes an announce
ment which in itself is self-explana-
tory, which follows:
We have been operating our con-
Gensary in La Junta for nearly four
years; we came here at the earnest
request of the farmers and business
men OF this community who promised
US their support IN every way pos

conditions were not such as to fully
warrant the establishment of a con-
iensary, but is reviewing the prom

which we now have. We have con-
tinuously exerted ourselves in build
ing up the dairy industry in the agri-
