BOTTLE CARRIED
ACR0SS0C
IN 370DAYS
Dropped BY Baltimore Steam
or It Is Picked Up On Island
off Scottish Coast

After bobbing across the ocean
for many months. covering 200
miles in its wanderings, message,
enclosed in a bottle, was today re-
ceived by the United States hydro
graphic office at the Navy De-
partment. The incident is expected
to throw valuable light on the
course Of ocean currents.
The bottle and its message were
thrown into the sea July 20. 1928,
from the bridge of the steamship
Blair, bound out from Baltimore, at
point about 900 miles due east
Of New York and $50 miles south
Of Cape Race.
It was picked up August 4 on
the shore Of the island Of INST, at
West Girinsh, in Invernessshire,
Scotland. The precise course of the
bottle never will be known, but
from the bearings given. It must
have travelled 1900 miles in $40
days, or at a rate Of more than six
miles day.
The message, which was set
afloat by II. T. Williams, Of BaIti.

The purpose Of throwing the mes
sage into the sea was to test the
speed and direction Of ocean cur
rents.
Captain Mcleod, who is now IN
Baltimore, was informed OF the
finding Of the message. He said
that number of similar messages
had been dropped from the Blair
during her trips, but that none
Of the others had ever been heard
from.

$3.50 REWARD If
YOU CATCH THIS
DANGEROUS MAN


Dodgers offering a reward of $3.50
for information leading to the arrest
Of Harry J. Dunlap, the so-called
badge bandit, - have been received
by Sheriff Gillett from the sheriff s
office at Los Angeles. Dunlap is
wanted for murder, rape and rob
berry, long series of atrocities in
the vicinity of Los Angeles being
charged against him. The latest oc-
cured last week when he killed
young man who was attempting
to protect his sweetheart from the
bandit while the latter was robbing
them.
Dunlap is described as an Ameri-
can, 80 years old, high forehead,
light hair, almost bald. All his
teeth are gold and he has a one
inch scar on the right side of his
neck. He is feet, 3-4 inches in
height and weighs 130 pounds. He
is dope addict and a dangerous
gunman.
the epithet "badge bandit" is
applied to him from his habit of
wearing badge, whIch he uses in
his holdups, passing himself off as
an officer when stopping automo
biles.
Dunlap was reported earlier in the
week to be heading toward the
Mexican border, and the public is
warned by the authorities to be on
watch for him.

WANTS COUNTY TO
ESTABLISH FREE
TRACHOMA CLINIC

At meeting of the school board
of the Acacia district on Tuesday
night, the trachoma situation among
school children was the subject of
much discussion. In view of the
fact that doctors report many eases
throughout the county, the concensus
of opinion was that immediate steps
should be taken to eradicate the
disease. J. NJ. Grafton declared that
he believed the best means of COM
batting the crisis is to establish n
free clinic where sufferers can be
treated without charge. sHe feels
that the county should bear the cost
of this clinic, in view of the fact
that many families are unable to
afford the expense connected with
treatments.
He urged that this step be taken
from matter of good business pol
icy, expressing the fear that many
newcomers might be prevented from
coming to the valley if the situation
remains unchecked.
Grafton, who is well known in
Farm Bureau circles, today stated
that the matter will be taken up
with the various farm eenters for ac-
tion.

Petes tthe Hermit, who, ever

to fame as the home of movie
celebrities, scandals and sym
pathetic gin, has been one of
the landmarks pointed out to
the visitor, along with the home
of Mary Pickford, is being
crowded further and further
into the foothills by civilization.
In fact, there is some doubt
that he is a hermit any more.
For 16 years, Peter has been
a familiar figure on the streets
of the city. Bareheaded and
bard footed with his faithful
dog, Dixie, and his donkey, Liz
zie, as his only companions, he
has roamed at will. But now,
the energetic real estate sub
dividers are encroaching on his
kingdom. His hillside hut is
no more a place of seclusion.
Any day now the natives
are expecting the Hermit to
pack his tent. take his dog and

the hill. where he will no longer
be bothered by the worry, love,
hate and excitement of the pre-
sent day.
