SUSPECTED ''ROBBERS" ARE
CHASED INTO PASTURE LOT
Deputy Sheriff and Policeman
run Down" The CuIprits

Walking peaceably along the upper
end of Second street, "the section of
beautiful homes" a resident was
somewhat startled to see Policeman
Sam Aronhalt and Deputy Sheriff Joy
Griffith, in company with one of the
residents Of that section stealthily
searching the premises. 1t was yet
quite early and a very unwise hour
for anybody to contemplate unlawful
proceedings, and the onlooker was
quite at loss as to the reason for
the actions of the officers of the law.
The noble citizen in the vicinity
where the officers were engaged was
preoccupied at the time, although he
had strong desire to aid in the
search for the culprit. 1t had always
been his desire to run down a burglar
and see him locked up in the hoosegow
but his good manners prevailed and he
continued on his way with his more
timid companion.
The next morning being Sunday, he
was still curious and inquisitive and
asked the deputy sheriff if he had
found the robbers.
Eyes, we found them," Joy said.
eve locked them up in a pasture
field. Every year when peoples lawns
are the softest and easiest to tear up
somebody's cows invariably break
loose and delight in playing hide and
seek on them"
And then the citizen, who had lost
several hours sleep the night before,
wendell his way homeward in peace
and contentment.

Maryland House of Correction some
time during the present week, along
with others who will probably be sent
to that institution by the court.

lowing his conviction before Justice

FURTHER RECOVERY
ON CURB EXCHANGE
Oils Do Best as a Group
Immediate Future Price
Opinions Confused.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star,
NEW YORK. June l4-Recovery
went further on the Curb Exchange to-
day. but the movement or the main
body Of stocks gave no indication OF
resumption of the main advance. 1t
was evident that the drastic shake -out
OF Monday and Tuesday had placed
stocks in stronger hands but opinion
as to the immediate future price trend
was as confused as ever.
Bancitaly Corporation stock, which
bore the brunt of the selling early in
the week. assumed a more normal
course. After opening at l4lis on a
block of $500 shares, the price worked
several points higher as against the
previous closing OF l4012.
AS a group the oils did better than
most others. The recovery was not per-
mitted to go far however, and renewed
selling was encountered at the high
prices. They had in their favor the
recent upward revision OF Pennsylvania
crude oil prices and prospects that
other grades might be advanced. Gulf
Oil OF Pennsylvania rallied almost five
points before offerings checked the re-
covery. Standard OF indiana, vacuum,
Humble and International Petroleum
led the Standard group.
Central Aguirre Sugar responded with
a rise of several points to declaration OF
an extra dividend Of So a share in ad-
dtion To the regular quarterly $l.50.
Operations for the rise were renewed
in Sparks Wilmington, which was car
ried points higher at one time. Gobel
common went above l40. compared with
Wednesdays final Of 1873. Aluminium Co
of America, which has the support of
powerful banking interests, was carried
up almost 10 points but failed TO main
tain all the improvement.
The mining issues were featured by an
upturn Of more than s points In New
mont Mining, and substantial recovery
at intervals In Noranda and Shattuck
Denn.
The utilities shared to some extent in
the improvement. but did nothing note
worthy.
