ROB TRAPPE BANK
IN S1858 HOLD-UP
Maryland Town Near Easton
Thrown Into Considerable
Excitement Saturday
VISIT SEVERAL TOWNS

Sheriff Raymond A. Carroll and
group of deputies are carrying
on a search for the three armed
bandits who held up the Trappe,
Md, branch of the Farmers and
Merchants Bank of Easton, and
who escaped in an automobile with
$1858 in cash Saturday morning
Just after the bank had opened.
The sheriff expressed confidence
in the eventual capture of the
criminals whom he believes to be
still on the peninsula. All bridges
and ferries from the peninsula are
being guarded and the Delaware
State Police are on the lookout.
He believes he discovered an i'm
portant clue at Ingleside in Queen
Anne's County when a garage man
told him three men, who answered
to the description of the criminals,
robbed him of new tire. The
bandits are said to have several
sets of license plates which they
stole from cars near Cordova be-
fore the robbery. They are said
to have visited Oxford, Md, fire
miles from Trappe, where the post
office and home of Miss Mollie
Stewart, 73-year-old postmistress,
was ransacked but nothing taken.
A number of persons saw them
leaves the bank in Trappe, Md, af-
ter forcing Byrus Malone and Nor
man Leonard, the only employees on
duty into the cellar and leaving
them locked there. Charles Gimp
son, of Trappe, trailed the robbers
toward Easton but lost them at the
intersection of the road to Cor
dova. The three youths, heavily
armed, walked into the bank at
Trappe, Md, at 9.15 A, M, Satur-
day and while two of them held up
the two officials of the small
branch bank one of the men strode
boldly behind the cashiers cage
and counter, and scooped up the
money which was in cash in var;-
Gus denominations The money had
been sent to the bank from Easton
to pay off factory hands at a can
ming factory and box factory at
Trappe.

PEACH TREES IN
BLOOM IN SUSSEX
Not in Full Color Yet But
Protected Sections Are
Showing Much Color
PROSPECT FOR A CROP

Peach trees are in bloom in the
lower part of Delaware The
bloom is not general through the
peach belt but is pronounced in
some of the sheltered sections. Be
tween Stockley and Millsboro there
are many peach trees in bloom.
These orchards are surrounded by
woodlands and exposed to the
warm suns while sheltered from
the cold winds. In these places the
trees have become a mass of pink
blooms and are attracting a great
deal of attention. The warm sun
of the past few days swelled all the
buds on trees in the lower part of
the State and a few more days of
like temperature will cause them
to burst This is early for the
fruit trees to be in bloom and it is
not often that trees that bloom
this early bear much fruit. 1t is
said that if fruit trees are not in
bloom by April II the crop is COM
paratively safe. BY the time re-
quired then for them to bloom the
danger from sudden drops in tenn
perature to the extent of damaging
the buds is past. Fruit trees that
bloom before that date usually are
subject to weather that will kill
the life in the bud, and the chances
for the fruit maturing are slim.
C. Hale Harrison, president Of
Harrison's Nurseries, Inc, of Ber-
lin, announced that the famed Ell
berta Peach Orchard, located near
Berlin, Md, which has produced
fruit continuously since 1901, de-
spite freezes and droughts, would
produce a crop slightly below nor
nal this year The Elberta Peach
orchard is believed to be the Oldest
orchard in the United
States.

FIRE SWEEPS PART

Sixteen Properties DESTROYED
Saturday, EntaiIing Loss
Upward of $4,000
SMYRNA FIREMEN WORK

Bowers Beach, Kent County's
well known Delaware Bay resort.
famous as a Fisherman's Paardise.
was visited by a disastrous fire
Saturday afternoon which DESTROY
ed sixteen houses, entailing a loss
estimated from $4,000 to $4,000
Fourteen fire companies including
Smyrna and Clayton, rushed to the
scene and by heroic efforts in the
face of a strong wind finally got
the fire in check. More or less To-
cal concern was had owing to
property owned by Smyrnians.
The Stokesburys, Arthur and Wal
ter, and ]. Price Lattomus, own
properties there but they were not
in the immediate fire zone. John
Conner, Smyrna, lost his property
valued at $4,000, and William Bur
ris, Smyrna, lost a property valued
at $1,000. The fire started at 3.15,
in the cottage Of Benjamin De-
tarris, located on the south side of
Murderkill River. According to
some residents, the fire broke out
after a child, member of the De
tarris family, went into a closet
with a match to find hatchet. It
is reported that the child found the
hatchet with the help of the match
and came out Of the closet. A few
minutes later fire is said to have
burst out of the closet and swept
through the house. Others say the
fire was due to a defective fue.
The fire was famed by strong
southwest wind, and although
there seems to be some doubt just
how it did start, all agreed that it
broke out first in the Detarris
house. Within a very short time,
only a few minutes, it is said, due
to the strong wind, the entire cot
tage was a mass of flames, and
embers were flying to surrounding
buildings. 1t is reported that
within two and one-half hours 16
cottages, and nearly as many gar
ages and, small outside buildings,
were destroyed by the flames. A
number of other cottages and
houses also caught fire from flying
embers and sparks, but the four
teen fire companies that reported
were then able to control the fam

BOVINE MONARCH
OF DOVER OFFICE
Enters Thomas c. Frames
Law Office, Crashes into
Window and Escapes
STENOGRAPHER FLEES

J Like bull in a china shop was
demonstrated at Dover Friday, a
situation for the time uncomfort-
able, when a COW which had gain
ed its freedom at Carroll Bazaar
back Of the post office, roamed on
State Street, selecting the pave
ment for its course rather than the
street. Several pedestrians were
compelled to give the cow wide
berth. After meandering down
State Street toward Dover's dis
toric Green, the animal headed for
the house and law Office of Thomas
c. Frame. The animal peered in
the window, evidently pondering
whether TO enter by the windoW or
door, the dor being closed. Mr.
Frame. notified by his stenograph-
er that there was a cow on the
outside, went to the front door to
drive the cow away, but no sooner
was the door opened than the cow
made a bee line for the Office and
entered without ceremony. The
frightened stenographer, Miss
Freeman. had presence of mind to
pull her typewriter desk in front of
the animal and quietly slip out the
door. Mr.. Frame fearing the cow
would desire to explore the back
room of his Office, pulled large
roll top desk toward the back Office
door which prevented the animal
from entering. The next move of
the COW was to make a dash for
window on the side of the Office
about large enough for the cows
head. The window was smashed by
the cows horns. The COW was
hnally pushed toward the door
where it gained its freedom and
was captured by the owners who
were searching the town for it.
