ROBBERS AT LA PLATA
FAIL In BANK ATTEMPT
Eastern Shore Trust Co.. Safe Foils
Efforts, Though Damaged BY En-
plOSiVeS.

La Plata, Md, April 12.-Bur-
glars last night entered the Charles
county branch of the Eastern Shore
Trust Company. in this place, and
worked for some hours in an effort
to force the lock on the vault, but
left without getting into the banks
strongboX or without their presence
being discovered. Apparently the
burglars made their getaway in a
stolen automobile.
The attempt at robbery was dis
covered this morning when Assist
ant Cashier Eugene Mudd went to
open the bank for the days business.
A large rug from the floor was hang
ing over the vault door, while around
the room were scattered picks, pinch
bars, hammers. Wrenches and spike
bars, stolen from the Pennsylvania
tool house in town.
There seemed to be evidence that
explosives as well as tools had been
used but the rugs effectually dead
ened the sound of both. Only the
outer casing of the vault door was
pierced, hole about three by five
inches being made. The mechanism
of the lock was so wrecked that it
is impossible for the vault to be
opened until an expert can be OBJ
tanned. The bank did not open for
business today.
The directors of the institution had
but a few months ago placed bur
glar proof lock on the vault, and 1t
is believed that this is what prevent
ed the thieves from gaining entrance.
1t is supposed that they worked I'M
til the approach of daylight made
it necessary for them to leave.
The garage of Martin and Nit
chell was also entered last night sup
| posedly by the same burglars. A
small touring car, the property OF b.
F.. Strider, State road inspector for
this county was stolen. A glass
| was broken from the rear window to
| give entrance to the garage. 1t Is
! supposed that the car was obtained
first to provide escape should the at
| tempt on the bank be discovered.
| No trace of the burglars has been
| found.
The Baltimore and Washington
police officials and Automobile Com
| missioner E. Austin Baughman nave
! been notified of the burglars.

In a fire, the origin of which is
not known, which occurred last night
on the ROsstOWn farm of Mr.. Harry
c. Orem the barn and attached sheds
were burned 10 the ground and Mr..
Dawson Siacum, who lived on the
farm had two mules and a calf and
all OF his farming implements and
prOvender burned up. Mr.. G. H.
Lynch who operates a saw mill in
the vicinity lost three mules which
he kept in the barn.
AIr. and Mrs. Slacum left about
seven o'clock and went to call upon
Mr.. and Mrs. jamie Mills, who live
only two or three farms below them
and as they were leaving to return
they saw that there was fire up the
road in the direction of their home
but by the time they arrived the
buildings were burned down.
Mir. Robert Layton. who lives on
the Waddell farm. not far from the
farm appears TO have been the first
one to have seen the fire. While
standing in the yard of his home
about quarter to eight his atten
ton Was attracted TO the fire and he
Immediately called up MI Orem at
his home in Cambridge and notified
him that the barn was on fire. Mr..
Oren hurried 10 the scene as rapidly
as possibly but was unable to do any
thing as the fire had gotten such
Roadway as to make it impossible to
save either the contents or the
buildings.
Mr. Sacum is the heaviest los
er, his loss probably amounting to
about $500. upon which he had
$3.50 insurance. He not only loses
the two mules and calf which were
burned up but all of his farming i'm
plements, harness, provender, etc. !
Mr., Lynchs loss is the three mules
which he used in hauling lumber |
which he use din hauling lumber |
around his mill, while Mr.. Orem loses
the barn and sheds upon which he !
placed a value of about $1,000 and
upon which he had insurance of |
500.

IN NENIORIAM

In loving remembrance of my dear
daughter. Annie Barrett Robinson
who departed this life years ago,
April 18th.
Hour by hour l saw her fade,
And slowly sink away;
Yet in my heart l often prayed
That she might longer stay.
Farewell. dear daughter is an aN fui
word
Which pierccs a mothers heart;
But. oh, it is the will of God.
NV dear daughter and l must part.
l cannot forget you. dear Annie,
Though long may seem the years,
And often in the lonely hours
Wipe away the tears.
It is sweet to know we shall meet
again
Where parting is no more,
And the one we loved so dear
Has only gone before.
By her loving MOTHER
