HELD UP AT DELAWARE CITY
Raymond Yeassley Attacked While
Working at Augustine Beach

Held up at the point of a gun by
a masked bandit Wednesday while
he was engaged in making repairs
TO the Augustine Beach-Bay View
Beach highway, Raymond Yearsley,
36 years of age, of Port Penn, was
tied hand and foot and thrown into
a marsh bordering the Delaware
River. The motive of the stick-up
Is a mystery, as no attempt was
made to rob Yearsley, who is a
county employee. Yearsley was
engaged in repairing the highway
which was washed out by the
storm Several other county en-
ployes left the scene of the repair
work to secure more materials,
leaving Yearsley alone. About five
minutes after the other men had
gone away in a truck Yearsley saw
an automobile stop a short dis
tance up the road. He said that he
paid no attention to the car, and
thought that the occupants were
probably going fishing or grabbing
in the Delaware River. Shortly
after the car stopped Yearsley said
a white man with a black mask
over his face appeared from the
river bank, coming up behind him
and ordering him to throw UP his
hands. Yearsley said he complied
with the command and then was
ordered to lie down on the high
way which he did. The masked
man then proceeded to truss both
his feet and hands. No effort was
made to search his clothing for
money. The holdup man then car
ried him to the marsh bordering
the river and threw him in the
mud. Yearsley's cries for help
were heard by his fellow employees
who hastened to the marsh and re-
leased him. His head was down
and he was covered from head to
foot with mud. Suffering from
shock he was taken to his home at
Port Penn and given medical at
tention by Dr. Walter w. Ellis, of
Delaware City. County Highway
Police are now conducting an in
vestigation. Yearsley has been
employed by the county for a num-
ber of years on road work in st.

Tooth of Dinosaur
Found by Drillers

Cut Bank, Mont.-Drillers on
an oil well in the Cutbank field
recently completed the most ex-
pensive dental job in history
extraction Of a dinosaur tooth
from the 3,930-foot level at a
cost of $125.OOO.
Discovery of the tooth also
led to abandonment of the well,
for it was taken as proof that
the we'll had been started on an
overthrust fault.
Paleontologists who examined
the tooth said that it came from
a predatory, carniverous dino
saur, a descendant of the king of
reptiles, the Tyranosaurus Rex.
They said that this was the first
time such a discovery had been
made in oil well drilling.

full sensitive girl, reared in the
most abject poverty, is forced by
the misery Of her family to accept
the advances of those who can
help financially. Time after time,
despite her own inclinations, the
irresistible forces Of life itself
break down her morale, drive her
on through desperation to an in
escapable end.

.HARVARD'S CREW
NOSES OUT YALE
Brawny "Jayvee" BoatIoad
Comes From Behind for
Even Break.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 16-
Harvards big, brawny junior varsity
crew came from behind with smash
ing finish on the windswept Thames
River this morning to whip Yale by q
slim margin and give the Crimson q
hard-earned even break In the first
two races of the seventy first regatta
between these ancient college rivals.
The "Jayvees' in closing drive that
overcame adverse conditions as well as
Eli rivals, furnished scattered shiver-
ing crowd with a sample OF the heavy
weight power Harvard hoped to apply
this evening in the four-mile varsity
race in an attempt to make 1t three
straight years OF conquest over the
big blue boatload.
Harvard's triumph was by the slim
margin of q scant quarter length, or
only three-ffths of a second. in the
Junior varsity struggle The Crimson's
time was II minutes 49Hs seconds for
the two miles.
Yale was clocked In II :4945.
Yales freshmen registered a hollow
victory by fully five lengths in the first
race "paddling" over the last mile with
an overwhelming lead gained when the
Harvard yearlings caught series Of
"crabs" In the rough water and went
to pieces temporarily It was no con-
test by the time the Crimson cubs
pulled themselves together and got
going In unison again.
The Eli freshmen, finishing their
season undefeated, negotiated the two
miles in I2:062s, while Harvard was
timed in 12:262s.
Both races were rowed over the upper
two miles Of the varsity course.
