AUTOMOBILE IN QUARRY HOLE

Nv SOaf0H01 dOllE.
A dead horse seen floating in an
abandoned quarry hole near Not
tingham, led to a number of resi-
dents of the section graphing the
body and attempting to pull it from
the water on Sunday last. One of
the graphing irons became caught
on a sunken object, and about
twenty men who had been attracted
to the scene caught hold of the rome
IN an attempt to pull the iron loose.
The graphing irons held, bringing to
the surface an automobile that was
at the bottom of the deep hole, up
side down. There was not force
enough to drag the machine out of
the hole. To whom the machine
belonged and whether it's running
into the old quarry was by accident
or intent is mystery. The hole is
large, deep and filled with water.
1t is located not far from the public
road leading from Nottingham to
Fremont, Pa, and has no protecting
renee about it, being one of hum
dreds of similar abandoned holes
with which "The Barrens" were
honeycombed years ago in the
quarrying of chrome and spar.

FORGER PULLS BONE-HEAD
STUNT.
Wants A $500 Check Cashed Al
$3.50 A. M,

Two men in an auto stopped al
Rising Sun Garage, at $3.50 O'Clock
Tuesday morning, and asked the
night attendant at the garage if he
would cash check for $500, drawn
on the Elkton Banking and Trust
Co. and purporting to be endorsed
by. Howard Vincent, of Elkton. The
party holding the check represented
himself as being from Wilmington,
claimed he had reached Elkton after
banking hours, and came to Rising
Sun, where there was a branch OF
the Elkton Trust Co., in the hope
OF being able to get the check cashed
here.
Mr.. Keilholtz, the night man at
the garage, stated he could not cash
the check and the men came I'D the
street to the Rising Sun Bank and
called the cashier, Lynn B. Gillespie,
out OF bed. Mr.. Gillespie naturally
refused to do any banking business
at that hour, and the check holder
left in disgust.
While at the garage the auto
driver confided to Mr.. Keilholtz that
the check holder owed him $50 for
auto hire and he was naturally in
terested in the little banking tran
saction.
1t later developed that the check
was undoubtedly forgery, that an
unsuccessful attempt had been made
to get it cashed in Chester on Mon
day, and that the authorities had
since been trying to locate the party,
who is thought to have been en-
ployed by Mr.. Vincent at one time.

TWO LIVE WITH
BULLETSNBRADN,
MAY RECOVER
X-Rays Show Lead Splin'
tiers and Solid Ball
In Vital Parts.

RICHMOND. Va, April 2s.-Two
men In hospitals here are living
with bullets in their brains. Both
men, are said to have fair chances
for recovery. SO
4 The most surprising case is that
OF william s.. Milton, Less than II
years OF, age. who was accidentally
shot with a bullet from s2-calioer
revolver by Raymond Bottoms.
while both young men were work
ing on the county roads in Powha-
tan County.
An X-ray examination showed
that the bullet had splintered and
that in addition to dividing into two
pieces had separated into various
other fragments which were in va
rious parts of The brain. The bull
let penetrated one of the eyes, which
was removed.
As, strange a case is that of W. l.
Turner. "a years old, who grew des-
pondcnt and tried to commit suicide
by shooting himself with a 32-cal-
ibre revolver. ALTHOUGH the bullet
penetrated his brain through vital
parts he lives, and preparations are
being made to remove the bullet
HIS condition is said to be better
than that of Milton, because the
bullet used was steel and did not
splinter.
