MARLEY MILLS TO RESUME

Marley Mills, on the Little
Elk, near Childs, will soon re-
sumo the manufacture of chip
board. The Maryland Paper
board Co. some months ago
were preparing to start the
plant, when the death of the
president of the company tenn
porarily prevented the starting
of the mill. Extensive repairs
have been made in getting the
plant in readiness for opera
ton. 1t is expected about fifty
men will be employed.
The mill was formerly oper-
ated by the late Geo. w. Childs,
proprietor of the Philadelphia
Ledger, which publication con-
sumed it's product. Marley Mill
occupies the site of a colonial
mill where nails were manu-
featured before the Revolu-
|tionary period.

AUTOMOBILE STOELN

A 1881 Chevrolet Coach, be-
longing to Dinsmore Bros, and
carrying dealers tags, was sto-
len from along side of the Laf-
ayette Inn, near Porters
Bridge, operated by J. B. Croft,
early Friday morning last.
The auto, which had been
loaned Mr.. Croft while his ma
chine was undergoing repairs,
was parked beside the Inn.
Between one and two o'clock
a colored girl employed at the
Inn heard a car drive from in
front of the place, but as it is
close to the road, and traffic is
going and coming at all hours,
paid no attention to the fact.
In the morning, when the
auto was missed, it was discov-
cred the gasoline pump had
been broken open and a large
water can used to draw gas in
to fill the tank of the car.
The only possible clue is that
two men were seen walking
past the sub-station at Como
wingo, about midnight Thurs
day, coming toward Porters
Bridge, and it is thought these
may have stolen the car, but
their identity is not known.

PLACED INSTRUCTIONS in
in THE ROAD
HaIlOwe'eners Hailed Before
The Magistrate

Warrants have been issued
for seven young men of this To-
cality, who conceived the idea
it would be great fun to block a
much travelled highway with
telephone poles and other OBJ
structions on Saturday night,
by way of celebrating Hal
lowe'en. The young men, who
were from the neighborhood OF
Liberty Grove, were ordered
out of town by the State Motor
officers about midnight, and
getting into their car drove out
to Barnes Corner, where they
stopped long enough to roll
eleven telephone poles and a
number of metal tar drums,
stored along the roadside in
front of the H. l.. Glacken farm
out into the road, thereby OBJ
structing traffic as well as ell
dangering life.
Fortunately the obstruction
was discovered by William
Boyle and he was able to bring
his car to a stop, after striking
the first pole, without damage
himself. Others following Mr..
to his machine or injury to
Boyle assisted in partially re-
movng the obstruction, and
the State Motor Officers were
notified by telephone.
The officers Immediately took
the matter in hand and soon
located the car, with the seven
so-called fun makers, and had
warrants issued for their ap-
pearance before Magistrate
Ewing. 1t is also charged the
young men were guilty of de-
stroying several road markers
during their Hallowe'ening.
