Robbers Shoot Guard and

Near Cumberland, Md.

CUMBERLAND, Md. Oct. ga
raid was made yesterday on the
bonded warehouses Of the James
Clark distillery, two miles west OF
here, on the National pike, the rob
bers securing at least fifteen bar
rels of the Braddock brand Of
whiskey, according to Superin-
tendent William T. Lakin, who
offers 81 900 reward for the appre-
hension Of the robbers.
William Bone, a guard. Is minus
a finger, having been shot through
the hand by q raider when he made
a movement toward his hip pocket.
The James Clark Distilling Com
pany is controlled by two Pittsburgh
men, Ben N. Neaman, president,
and e. M. Mottsman, vice prest-
dent and treasurer, who purchased
the plant from James Clark, the
founder.
Masked men, between fifteen and
twenty in number, operated, de-
pleted the armory Of the plant.
Bone was reaching for his revolt
yer. One raider cried "Shoot him"
and another blazed away. There
was another guard on duty, Thomas
G. Fisher, former member OF the
Maryland House Of Delegates. Both
guards were overpowered, thrown
on the floor and their hands placed
behind them and their legs were
bound with wide adhesive tape.
Two men entered the gauging
room and asked to use the telephone
in the office in the rear. They SAID
they had motor trouble and wanted
to call aid. They were shown the
telephone, and while busy with the
telephone directory seven other men
followed in and pushed revolvers In
the faces of the two guards.
The guards once helpless, the men
broke open the doors Of both bonded
warehouses and rolled out the bar
rels.
The raiders proceeded west toward
Frostburg and 1t is thought they
turned south at the six-mile house,
four miles west of the distillery.
Here, it il evident, other trucks were
in waiting and the loot was trans
ferred. Cartridges for the guns
stolen from the small aTmory kept
by the guards were found on the
ground at this point.
John Wintermeyer, a guard had
just gone off duty and returned TO
his home, next door to the distillery.
The robbers knew this and had de-
tailed two men to watch him and see
that he did not get back to interfere
with their operations.

C 17TH ANNUAL
CONVENTION AT DOUGLAS

The seventeenth annual convention
of the Arizona Cattle Growers asso-
citation will be held at Douglas on
Tuesday and Wednesday, January 70
and 80, 1924.
Directing officers are now making
arrangements with Douglas CONNER
cial bodies for the staging of one of
the most thorough and enjoyable bus
mess meetings ever held by cattle
men of this state.
Cattlemen are heartily endorsing
the plan Of strict business meeting,
ard it is felt that all will be eager
and ready to attend the Douglas con-
vention in January.
Stockmen are anxious to lay down
a program Of work covering many inn
portant needs of the big industry OF
the state. Needed state legislation,
reduction and systematic classified
tion Of taxes, forest grazing fees and
regulations, reductions in railroad
rates, a Just duty on hides and leath-
er, assistance to the sanitary board,
and the financing and marketing OF
cattle are the major questions to come
up.
From these issues the cattlemen will
draft a program of work for the year.
A budget to cover all the items in
the yearly program is to be estimat-
ed, so that each stockman will know
the expenditures to be made by the
association during the year.
