FARMERS BAND TO
NAB FOWL THIEVES
Discouraged Over Failure OF Police;
Set Traps At Milford

Discouraged by the failure of au-
thorities to bring to justice the
chicken thieves who have been ran
sacking henneries in this section
many of the farmers by mutual
agreement are taking the matter in
their own hands and setting traps
for the robbers.
During the fall and spring months
the farmers in Milford Neck and sur
rounding sections have lost many
valuable fowls by chicken thieves.
Several farmers have lost hundreds
of chickens at one time while with
others they have vanished in small
numbers but the repeated stealings
have made inrOads into their flOcks.
The robbers evidently have known
the LAY of the land" and for that
reason It is believed they are local
people. They have always selected
a time for the robbery when the
farmer and his family were away
from home, and they always select
a victim who is known to have
choice large fowls as it is the choice
ones that have always been taken.
There have been so many rObberies
that the farmers are afraid to leave
home, fearing that their poultry will
not be there when they return. They
have devised a way to protect the
flocks when they are absent. Many
Of the farmers are now setting traps
for the robbers.

CHIEF OF POLICE BAKER
HURT BY AUTOMOBILE
Milford Officer Accidentally Hit by
Driver OF Car Friday Night

Chief of Police Baker was serious
ly injured last Friday night while
attempting to stop a car that he
suspected was driven by 4 man who
he and Officer Jackson had been
hunting for some time. AS it hap
pened the driver of the car was not
the suspected person and not notic-
ing that Baker wore a policeman's
uniform, he started to pass without
stopping. AS soon as he saw that
Baker was a policeman he applied
the brakes and the car veered to the
right in the direction of the officer.
Baker jumped to the left to get out
of the way at the same time that the
driver of the car turned the steering
wheel to the left. The result was
that the car ran into the police
chief, knocking him down. He was
taken to the Marshall Hospital
where an examination disclosed that
two bones were broken in his arm
just above the wrist and his leg was
cut very badly. Baker will probably
not be able to work for at least five
weeks. Edward Kusci is substitut-
ing on the police force.

HEAVY ELECTRIC STORM
LAST SATURDAY A. M.
Several Places Damaged As Light
ming Strikes At Milford

Shortly after midnight Saturday
morning the citizens of Milford and
vicinity were awakened by the most
destructive storm that has visited
this section in years. lightning
struck in all parts of town causing
fires, knocking down trees, and
blowing out fuses and transformers,
leaving many homes in total dark
ness. Lightning struck a hay stack
on the farm of Pierce Prettyman
and ignited it. The Carlisle Fire
Company was called and the blaze
was eXtinguished. There was also
fire at the home of DR.. Frank l..
Grier but it is believed that it was
caused by short circuit and not by
lightning. The fire company was
called but the fire was under control
before the arrived. With the eXcep-
tion of Il few wires there was no
damage.
Two transformers, one on the
Shawnee Road and one near the
home of +. w. Mick at Chestnut
Knoll were put out of commission.
Fuses were blown out in homes in
all sections of the town. A large
pine tree on the lawn at the home of
DR.. G. Layton Grier was struck by
lightning and large limbs were
thrown in every direction. The tree
was so badly damaged that it will
have to be removed.
Lightning struck the home of Ro-
maid Wilson in South Milford and
knocked most of the plaster Off OF
all of the walls. About fifty shingles
were torn off of the roof and one OF
the rafters was torn out.

After July I, Delaware motor We

Other Departments viii
Be Asked To Put Like
Savings In Effect

The State Highway Commission
inaugurated a program of economy
IN the department at its meeting
Monday afternoon by reducing the
salaries of all employees ten per
cent.
The salary reduction is effective
July 1 and affects only those whose
salaries are not fixed by statute. All
employees whose salary is fixed by
statute will be asked to voluntarily
take Il similar reduction in salary.
Decision of the department to
make this move was made after Gov.
Buck, IA member of the commission,
announced during an informal dis
cussiOn on retrenchment, that lie
has decided to take voluntary re-
Guction of 10 per cent in his salary
as governor which is $500 annual
ly.
1t is understood that the 10 per
cent reduction will save the State
Highway Department $43,2OO during
the next fiscal year.
During the discussion Governor
Buck stressed that the two out
standing questions State, municipal
county governments and the Federal
must consider seriously
at present are economy in admins
tration of the government and a pro-
gram for relief among the unem-
pl0yed. He stressed that economy
should be effected in all govern
ment departments.
