Residents Of the western end OF Ab-
erdern were greatly alarmed about
four thirty Wednesday afternoon when
fire broke out in the lumber yard Of
r. O. Viele 4 Co. situated along the
baltimore & Ohio tracks. The exceed
iugly nnamable nature OF the mater
ials carried by this firm and the loca-
tion of the yard near the large canning
factory Of Mr.. Morgan Mitchell gave
Just cause for fear, particularly aS the
flames had gained considerable head
way before discovery by George Carr,
AN mployrc Of Nielc a. Go.
With Others Of his men who had
been engaged in unloading car OF
lumber at short distance from the
planning room, Mr.. Vielc rushed to the
scene and began fight against the
roaring flames. The Aberdeen FIRE
Department quickly responded to the
emergency and were further aided by
the Havre de Grace Department ana
equipment from the Aberdeen Proving
Ground. A pressure pump from the
latter place was particularly effective
and il l. said was largely responsible
for the quellng Of the hre when AZ
one stage >tfHfu W NHi'b''h "'''''
the entire town.
A tin roof on the building Of Mr..
Mitchelrs plant largely helped to save
them. Fire carried by the wind reach
ed the house Of Mrs. Mabel Morgan,
situated diagonally across the street
from the Viele business, and did con
siderable damage to IL a. well as Ia
that Of Mr.. DenbOw adjoining. Freight
cars standing on the b. o. tracks wcr
removed to place Of safety.
Defective wiring in the planning room
+ thought to have been responsible for
the confiagration which destroyed tn"
planning room, much hardwood flooring,
finished mill work and valuable cy-
press lumber. Fortunately the OffIc"
equipment and records were saved.
The loss is estimated at $1,000 partially
covered by insurance.

regular meeting AT the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Spencer, near Coop
town, with Mr.. Charles Schuster in the
chair.
The principal subjects for discussion
were the Agricultural Corporation o.
Maryland and the Bond Issue. As re
CARDS the former, every one seemed to
be agl eed that il saved the farmers of
the state large sums of money during
the past season in the purchasing of
their fertilizers and feeds. The most
interesting part Of the discussion wa,
IN relation to bigger and more stable
income for such useful and nvalu-
able organization.
The sentiment seemed To be 1000,
in favor Of u $500 Bond Issue with
small minority favorng $500, 900.
Miss Rlsteau gave Il short talk.
After a varied program under the
direction of Mrs. Thomas Brown and
delicious peach ice cream and cake,

BANDITS SEIZE CAR AND VAI.l'
ABLE CONTENTS

Il. II. Stecker and Morris korenrech,
oi Philadelphia, representatives of the
! Alaska Fun Company of that city, met
with IA thrilling experience en- route
! from Philadelphia to Baltimore Satur-
day night when highwaymen held them
up on the Old Forge Hill of the Como
wlngo Road and relieved them of their
money and valuabeS, completing the
job by driving oil with their car and
ITS precious load.
4 told by the men themselves, short
ly after crossing Deer Creek bridge,
they We're passed by another carnorth-
bound. the occupants of which We're
apparently much interested in the
ca, of the Philadelphia men. Only n
few minutes latertotheir surprise they
wee repaSSed by the same ear when
drove u short distance ahead of them
and stopped blocking the road. The
passengers Of both machines alighted
Stccker and his companion soon find
ing themselves covered by big auto
matte pun. They were relieved of their
m0n.y and watches and told by the
hghwuymen that they wanted the liz
uor in the captured ear. Advised that
INV NbIll'lilN N'lf llI anu wv ''hh''
the highwuNmen after consultation lie
clded that iurs were just as good 50
accordingly one of them got III the
Philadelphia ear and drove It oil, his
paI tncr driving their own.
Strckrr walked to Bel Air getting
in touch with Sheriff Sheridan about
five thirty Sunday morning. As the
Sheriff was just starting ON Il hurry
call to llavre de Grace he directed the
man to the State Police and they were
soon ON the trial. The time consumed
however, by StccNcr in walking to Bel
Air had given the bandits ample op-
portunity to make their getaway.
About noon Officer Atkinson was sue
cessful in locating the stolen car near
Bynum Station where II had been
abandoned, but no trace of the wanted
men could he found.
II is unfortunate that the Phlladel-
phians did not avail themselves of the
telephone at kalmla instead of walking
to Bel Ain. A ter an investigation the
Statr's Attorney and officers are very
doubt,uI whether holdup actually
did take place.
