MYSTERY SURROUNDS RECENT
ROBBERIES MADE At DOVER
BOBBED HAIR GIRL OR BOY DIS
GUISED THOUGHT TO HAVE KEY
Judge POwells Home First To Be En-
tered Followed By Several Others
Money Seems to Be Object

Dover has a burglar mystery that
has been causing much concern among
residents of the town for several
weeks. A number of houses have been
entered in a mysterious manner and
always in the absences of the fam
lies living in the house. 1t is thought
that a master key is used as in no
case has an entrance been forced. The
houses have been ransacked but it is
evident that the burglar or burglars
are only after money and nothing else
has been missing from the dwellings
entered. Town officers are on the
lookout for a girl with bobbed hair
who is suspected of being the burglar.
IA supposed bobed haired girl was seen
leaving a house where it was later
learned the burglar had visited. It
has also been suggested that the sup
posed girl may be a boy masquerad-
ing as a girl. The first report of the
burglar was at the home of Judge and
Mrs. Walter A. Powell on North State
street on Sunday night, February 3
Judge and Mrs. Powell went to church
on that evening and on their return
\ Learned the house had been entered.
On the following Sunday night, Feb
ruary 10, the house was again enter
4 ed while Judge and Mrs. Powell were
at church. On both occasions Judge
Powell was sure all doors and win
i dows had been locked, but none OF
\ them had been forced by the burglar
\ in gaining an entrance. After the
4 second visit Judge Powell found 6
\ skeleton key on the back step which
4 had evidentally been dropped by the
/ intruder and the key to the front dool
/ was missing. Several other house.
We're visited in the next few days il
! the same mysterious manner anC
small sums of money stolen Among
/ them were the homes of Walter II
Warning and Edgar c. Maloney, Of
North State street not far from tn,
Powell home and at each house small
sums of money was stolen. Anothe
4 house visited by the burglar was tina
Of Mrs Macdonald on North Brad
ford street and it was from this hous
that the supposed bobbed haired gin
was seen leaving by the front door
Mrs. Macdonald was calling on
friend across the street from he
home where the house was entered
A neighbor on coming out of hi
house was attracted by lights bein
turned off and on in the MacDonal
home in both upstairs and downstair
rooms. He could see some one NOV
ing around in the house and thinkin
possibly it was some one Mrs. Mac
Donald had sent to the house he too

with bobbed hair and wearing a brow

Floyd Ransom On John w. Ford Farm
ServersOns Neck, Loses Almost All
Fire caused by a defective fue de-
stroyed the home of Floyd Ransom, a
tenant farmer in Seversons Neck
about six miles from Smyrna short
ly after l o'clock Friday afternoon,
the fire having gained too much head
way before the Smyrna Firemen could
get there. The house was owned by
John w. Ford of Smyrna. Damage is
estimated at about $4,000. Mr.. Ran
som was away from home when the
fire started and the blaze was discOv-
cred by his wife after it had already
gained considerable headway in the
roof of a spare kitchen. Mrs. Ran
som called the neighbors and with
their help removed some furniture
from the burning building, but most
all the contents of the house were con-
sumed. A call was sent for the Smyr-
ma fire engine, but bad roads prevent
ed it's arrival until after the house
had practically burned to the ground.
The firemen kept the flames from
spreading to any of the Outbuildings.

PLAN TO RESUME ROAD WORK
LATTER PART OF NEXT MONTH
CONCRETE ROAD AT WALKERS
EXTENDED TO DEAKYNEVILLE
No Bids Asked For Yet For the Much
Needed Road Between Smyrna
ClaytOn.-Federal Aid Roads

Work on State road construction
will begin about March 20, according
to C. Douglas Buck, chief engineer of
the State Highway Department. In
order that there may be no charges
of favoritism, he is planning to be-
gin operations in all three counties
practically at the same time. Bids
are now being advertised for the new
bridge at Drawers Creek Causeway;
a concrete road 1.775 miles from
Walkers to Deakyneville; Mt. Pleas
ant-Summit Bridge stretch of 2.27
miles; street thru Frederica 0.507
miles; Walnut street, Milford 1.O1
miles; Westcoats Corner to Rehoboth
5.75 miles and Bethel-Broad Greek
road 2.43 miles. These bids will be
open at Dover at p. M, March 18th
No bids yet have been asked for the
much needed Smyrna-Clayton road.
This it is hoped will follow as soon in
the Spring as possible.
Delay Caused BY Federal Aid Bill
Because of the delay by Congress in
passing the Federal Aid bill which
carries an appropriation of $75,000,-
600 to be distributed equitably among
all the states in the Union, work on
roads that carry such appropriations
will be delayed until early in the sum
mer. Mr. Buck went to Washington
last week and consulted with Federal
officials seeking to learn when the bill
was likely to pass. There are so
many investigations" going forward
by Congress, that all material and
substantial work such as the passage
of this highway appropriation meas
ure are held up. Delaware would re
ceive S365,00O from the government
through this bill, and there are roads
in every county of the State that are
/ dependent upon this money for part
of the cost. There is no question but
1 that Congress will pass the measure
/ and it should and would undoubtedly
/ have been enacted long before thi.
date but for the frenzy of investigat
! ing. As matters look now, it will bC
about June / before it is likely tha
! the money will be available, all O
which is predicated upon Congress.
i passing the bill in a few weeks time
After that, bids for the roads in ques
tion have to be advertised for and on
month elapse before the contract ma.
be awarded.
To Push UncOmpleted Road Work
As Mr.. Buck has the work planne
out now, he will start work first o.
the highways uncompleted under las
years appropriations. They are
stretch of about three miles frOr
Glasgow to the Middletown line;
piece Of six miles from Smyrna t
Leipsic; about four miles from Ken
ton to Cheswold and about four mile
of road from FELTON, to Burrsvillt
which is a part of the road from Han
rington. Work for these stretche
was begun last year, but cold weatf
er prevented their completion in timt
