VIM. d. Wright, a negro who hail.
from Fredericksburg, Va, blew into
town one night last week and decided
that he would like to leave in a brand
new car, so he selected the garage nj
warren L. Moore, who handles the
Ford car for his operations. About 2
o'clock neighbOrs across the street
from the garage, saw some one NOV
ing around in the garage. They kept
watch over him and after he had op-
ened the large doors and showed a
new car to the street, they decided it
was time to call halt, and while one
of them went after Policeman Emory
the other was ready to halt him with
a shot gun in the event he attempted
to drive off. He was not familiar with
the automobile and could not start
it. He cranked on it for some time.
He had about decided to start the
car by getting a lift from some pass
ing autoist. Policeman Emory hur-
ried to the scene and placed him un-
der arrest without resistance. He was
locked up until morning and then TAX
en- to Dover and arraigned before Mag
lstrate Wood, who held him in default
of bail for court.
Mrs. Clarence Tharp had the mis-
fortune to have about $31 in money
stolen from the seat of her automobile

discovery of her loss, she began an
investigation. When she finally got
track of it the boys had spent a few
dollars of it. She notified their par
ents, who took care of the case by
giving each of them a severe whip
ping.
The first fall meeting of the Har-

the presiding officer. At the conclus-
ion Of the meeting refreshments of
cakes and lemonade were served. Not
many of the members were in attend
ance. 1t is expected that the president
will preside at the coming meeting
and she will no doubt appoint the

BOWERS BEACH

: The festival and oyster supper hello
on Saturday evening of last week in
Elizabethan Hall by the Ladies Aid
Society was a grand success, both So
cially and financially.
The weather of the evening was
somewhat unfaVorable, yet they were
greeted by a good house and evident
ly came for purpose as everything
prepared for the occasion was closed
out at an early hour and when the
receipts were counted and all matters
adjusted, the management found that
they were over sixty dollars to the
good.

both shucked and oysters in the shell,

verting the said buildings, together
with additional buildings, there, into

general.
This is a much needed feature here

from the fact that the accommoda-
tions here have not been equal to the !
demand when the hundreds of people
would come from long distance and |
at the week-ends.

The arrest of Attorney Phillan

Germ. He takes the same attitude to-
wards Uknaan that Director Bert

he says. was merely a sort of handy
man for the federal men and at
no time had they expected to use him
In any of the cases. Had he not de-
liberately told his story 10 news

publicity drew the attention of Gary
to him as the prime mover in the

man If he had kept his mouth
shut he would never have been con-
nected with the arrests. It's true he
furnished US some information. but
our evidence has all been worked up
by the agents. We used his office
as meeting place frequently, but
he had US worried by the way he
talked. We were afraid he would
