DESERTERS
in SEDAN FLIGHT
Two Caught AT Richland In Ben
ming Majors Car-Colum-
bus Crime Center

RICHLAND, Dec. Monday
night the night policeman at Rich
land captured three soldiers, desert
ers from Camp Berning, who were
escaping in a stolen Dodge sedan
which belonged to major at the
camp.
Policeman Edwards received a
call about 1890 from police head
quarters at Columbus, telling him to
watch out for theree deserters in
the sedan. He Immediately went to
Harvey's filling station, which is on
corner wnere all the highways
through Richland cross and asked
the night man if he had seen any
thing of a car with some soldiers in
it passing by. The night man said
he had not, but that one soldier had
been in there about five minutes be-
fore and swapped fountain pen for
three gallons of gas and had taken it
out ON the road to Weston.
Young J. T, Bland, Jr., happened
to be near the filling station, so they
jumped in his cut-down Ford and
disregarded all speed laws, starting
what it was thought would be hard
chase. However, they came on the
boys about half mile from town
before they had succeeded in putting
the gasoline in the tank and arrested
them without any trouble. They
were foreigners and had started to
desert with but little money between
them, probably expecting to sell the
car as soon as possible.
They were locked up in the jail
until 200 a. M, when the major to
whom the car belonged, had arrived,
accompanied by military police, who
took the deserters back to Columbus.
Before leaving the officer redeemed
the fountain pen which the soldiers
had traded for the gasoline, much to
the regret of the night man at the
filling station.
The major presented the police
man with $25 for his efficient work.
Besides this he will receive $3.50 for
the capture of the deserters as soon
as they are tried.
In talking at the filing station the
major said that there was ar aver
age of one car day stolen in Colum-
bus, and last Friday night there
were sixteen hold-ups in and around
| Columbus.

DRUG STORE BANDIT
PAYS CORDELE A CALL

CORDELE, Dec. 21.-Three drug
stores We're broken open here during
Saturday night by some one who
used a pipe wrench and twisted the
center out of the Yale locks on the
front doors. AT the City Drug store
the burglar got S2.13 from a regis
ter cash drawer In the other stores
nothing was missed and he evidently
hurried away. Some of the drug
gists thought he was after opiates,
since he chose drug stores, but none
of this was missing. The police are
working on the cases.
