Bryan Conway, w. J. Cole, A. p. Dot
son, Jack Baugus and Leslie Dodd, all
white, have been arrested by federal
authorities and carried to Lawrence
burg where after preliminary trial
before Esquire J. w. Garrett they
were bound over to court under bonds
ranging from $1,000 to $1,000 each.
According to one of the officers in
the car, which the alleged. highway
men attempted to hold up, federal Of
ticers left Lawrenceburg at midnight
and about $3.50 O'Clock Monday morn
ing had reached the SummertoWn mon
ument, when a number Of men along
the road shouted at them to stop, the
officers paid no attention to the COM
mands and the alleged highwaymen
are said to have fired several shots, ev-
identity in an effort to bring the car to
standstill. After the shots were
fired, the occupants of the car, Federal
Prohibition Agents Howard and Eos
ter, Tom Mclean, deputy United
States marshal, and l.. o. Lafan, dep
uty sheriff of Lawrence county, and
w. H. Hyde, driver of the car, alight,
ed and rounded up the men in the

chester rife, another. a forty-fve Colt
revolver, and still another had a pair
Of brass knucks. They were immedi-
ately placed under arrest and carried
to Lawrenceburg. ...r-
Officers declare they are confident
that these men thought that the OFF,
GERS car was blockade runner, and
they were attempting to stop it in an
effort to replenish a fast diminishing
supply Of whisky, as several fruit jars
with a small amount of whisky were
found nearby. In an adjoining field
W. E. Cummins was found, but he de-
MED that he had taken any part in the
attempt, to stoprthe car, and was dis
missed by the court. 1t is alleged that
the arrested men we're drinking heavi-
ly, one of them being almost past 60
ing and unable to take an active part
in the hold up. ~. .#,
Officers declare that they have had
many complaints of attempted hold
ups alang this sactipn of the. road, and
they are confident that the arrests will
put stop to the intimidation of trav.
elers throughout that section.

CORN CROP IS y, .-
HURT BY WORM
WILL HAVE TO BE REPLANTED IN
SOME SECTIONS OF COUNTY;
MANY COMPLAINTS.

(From Wednesdays Daily Herald.)
County Agent Alternately is now be-
ing beseiged with calls concerning the
appearance of little white worm,
which is playing havoc with the corn
crop. in some sections of the county
This worm works like the bud worm
but according to Mr.. Alternately is
really root borer." Mr.. Alternately
said the worm had appeared in greater
numbers in fields where clover has
been turned under. This is due to the
fact that the worm lived upon the
roots of the clover during the winter
months.
There is but little remedy, according
to Mr.. Alternately, and that is inten-
sive cultivation. The ground should
be broken as often as possible in or
der to keep the soil warm. The worm
will likely disappear when warm wealth
err comes in earnest, as the pest
thriyes best during cool, damp wealth
er.
