STORMS FALLS AGAIN
ARRESTED FOR STEALING PROPERTY OF
CAPTAIN EMIGH FROM ARMORY CON-
FESSES TO THEFT-Ih JAIL.

When Captain Harry G. Emigh
went to his room at the Armory, last
Sunday morning, he found it looking
as if a tornado had swept through it,
and at once sent out the S. o. S. cali
for county officers. States Attorney
Brown and Sheriff Martin, accompanl-
ed by Captains Emigh and Weigle
took up the investigation. They would
probably have called out the troops,
but Company H had gone to Edge
wood. The officers, however, knew that
some of the members had not left for
camp until Saturday night. Looking
for clues, they found in the room a
card upon which some one had written
Me and -- did this to get even
with Magin." This caused suspicion
to fall on the members of the company
late to leave for camp, and the belief
that the robbery had been committed
ON Saturday night. A telephone mes
sage was sent to Captain Magin at
Edgewood, and on Sunday afternoon
the States Attorney, Sheriff, Captain
Emigh and Captain Weigle went to
the camp. They were met on arrival
by Captain Magin, carrying a pair of
olive drab trousers, in the pocket of
which was a handkerchief bearing
Mr. Emigh's name. He had found
them while searching the tent of one
of the members of the company, look
ing for a blanket, reported removed
from the tent of a comrade. The oc-
cupant of the tent in which the trous-
ers were found was Clayton Storms.
Storms was called upon the carpet.
A. h. h. ho'I
bought the trousers in York. Captain
Emigh identified the shirt which
Storms was wearing as his property,
and also the hat which he was wear
ing. Storms denied any knowledge OF
the robbery. Upon further search Jf
his tent, however. Captain Emigh'S
shaving kit and other articles taked
from the room were found. Storms g
said to have then confessed, and to
have said that he had done the job
alone. Asked what he had done with
the rest of the plumber, he told the
officers that they would find it hid
den at a certain place in the alley,
near the Armory. Storms was brought
to Westr:insta". and pointed 'UIt the
place where he said that he had did
den the loot but it was not there. On
Monda% morning, at the jail, he told
Captain Emigh that the hidden prop
erty would be found at the Storms
home. This time he was telling the
truth sor there the officers recovered
suit cf civilian clothes, several pair
of puttees. and other articles, the
property of Captain Emigh, four re-
volvers, two of them army revolvers,
and other things taken from the Ar
mory. Storms is in Jail, awaiting .
hearing.

WILL THERE BE A POULTRY
SHOW!

This question will be answered at
meeting to be held at the County
Agents Office, Westminster, Thursday
evening. August 3, at o'clock, wheI
it is expected that all those interested
in the matter will be present and OIL
er their support and encouragement
TO the project. Those who were con
cerned in the management OF the
Maryland Mid-State Poultry Show
last year feel that public approval Of
the project should be expressed by al
those who favor show for this veal
before any move is made towards def
mite arrangements.
Whether or not the success of last
year is TO be repeated depends entire
" upon the action of this meeting
The local officers of the Carroll
County Branch of the State Associa-
ton feel that this is an undertaking
which concerns not alone the poultry
men hut the public at large and par
ticularlv those interests that benefit
in a business way from the advertis-
ing value of a poultry show. 1t is hop
ed that the business men of the coun-
ty will participate in the arrange
ments of details which last year taxed
the time and energy of a few individ-
uals To such an extent that they do
not feel inclined to again assume the
burden of the undertaking.
If those who feel inclined to aid
this project by contributing cash and
trophies for premiums and availing
themselves of the advertising features
of the publications which will be is
sued would come forward and volun-
teer their assistance it would modify
the labor of promoting the show to
such an extent that il could be staged
with both an economy of effort and of
money
The local poultry interests are at
present engaged in perfecting a
branch organization of the Maryland
State Poultry Association which is
destined to eventually expand the
poultry industry of Carroll County
along production lines which will
add materially to the wealth of the
country. In such an undertaking as
q noultrv show the encoura cement of
the general public is necessary and
should he given.
Another matter that will come be
fore the meeting will he the perma
nent organization of the Carroll Coun-
tv Branch of the MARYLAND State
Poultry Association. Inc. Certain for
are to be attended to before
this branch receives official standing.
State officials will be present and have
some interesting developments to re-
mort in regard to plans for coopera-
tive marketing. An offer from the New
Jersey Poultry Producers Associa-
ton to cooperate with the marketing
for an early attractive prospect
for an early arrangement whereby
egg producers can obtain
the best possible markets for their
output.
