"Yep. It's sure enough you, Wills,

The deputy was already unlocking

Busy though he had been drinking
and exhorting, Gitner had missed his
fellow conspirator and wondered where
he had gone. That Jasper should send

probable. Gitner staggered to the

He walked out Of the back door

The Texan had no option. His hands

MAY BRING GIANT AIRSHIP
OVER OAKLAND ON JULY 4
Letter to Mayor from Acting
Secretary of Navy is Favorable

That there was a strong possibility
of the Akron, giant airship of the u.
S. Navy, passing over Oakland either
on July 2, 8 or 4, was announced by
Grover C. Stemple, mayor, following
a communication from Admiral w. V.
Pratt, acting Secretary of the Navy.
Several days ago Mayor Stemple,
hearing that the Akron was to be at
the Fort Necessity dedication near
Uniontown, Pa, along Route 40, on
July 4, wrote to the Secretary of the
Navy asking that it change its course
approximately twenty miles so that it
would float over Oakland. Mr.. Stem
pie received the following reply:
Receipt of your letter of June IL,
requesting that the Akron be flown
over the city of Oakland, Maryland,
on July A, is acknowledged.
The department has not definitely
scheduled the Akron to fly over Fort
Necessity on July 4. However, if this
airship does fly to Fort Necessity on
July End or 3rd, the commanding Off
Ger will be requested to include Oak
land, Maryland, in it's itinerary.
(Signed) w. V. PRATT,
Admiral, U. S. Navy,

At National Convention Held
In Chicago Last Week
DEMONSTRATION is HELD

Again, as in 1928, it is Hoover
and Curtis for the Republicans.
A lone ballot sufficed in each
case, the President winning re-
nomination by 1861 of the
1854 votes and his 1928 running
mate gathered 634 IA votes in
quick order at the Republican
National Convention at Chicago.
What there had been of dis
sention over the ticklish prohibition
plank was drowned in the closing
hours last Thursday night beneath
waves of enthusiasm.
Especially did the President tri-
umph, the merest scattering votes in
opposition being divided with Is for
Senator Blaine, of Wisconsin; Az for
Calvin Coolidge, for DR.. Joseph L.
France, of Maryland, and solitary
counters for Charles G. Dawes and
James w. Wadsworth, of New York.
Following the nomination of Presi-
dent Hoover, submitted by his friend,
Joseph L. Scott, of Los Angeles, a
noisome half-hour demonstration was
held.
When President Hoover was in
formed at the White House of what
had taken place in Chicago he replied,

Mr.. C. N. McIntire, delegate from
the Sixth Congressional District of
Maryland, returned to his home in
Oakland on Friday evening of last
week. Mr.. Mcintyre stated that while
there were many tense moments dur
ing the days of the convention the diff
ferences between the contending dele
gates were all ironed out and bold
front will be presented to the oppo-
sition at the fall election.

been living for the past several
months at the home of Bill johnson,

address.
Numerous people identified him and
gave directions as to how to find his
family, but each clue produced moth
ing. He was said to be from Rowles-
burg, w. Va; Liverpool, Ohio; Wheel
ing, w. Va; Cumberland, and other
towns. He was prepared for burial
at Bolden's Undertaking parlor, and
when the body remained unclaimed,

Two young men who left town with
the man last Friday night have not
returned, and cannot be located.

Mr.. Serene, who had been sleeping
in his store since a former robbery,
said he was awakened by the sound
of SCATTERING glass, caused by some
one throwing a stone through the
door. He declared he waited until the
man attempted to enter his store be-
fore he fired. Mr.. Serene was not
held by authorities.
Mr.. Serene declared that he did not
go outside until about two hours after

robber might be there. When he did
go out he found the man in front of
the wareroom, face downward, on the
ground, having fallen off the store
platform. Authorities were then sum-
moned and the investigation started.
The man wore pair of canvas gloves
and carried wrench and flashlight.
He was dressed in dark blue suit
of good material, and practically new.
Ringers store at Terra Alta, w.
Va, was entered on Friday night
sometime, and about 500 in merchan-
