spearlng around for something to
do, although his private means are
said to be large.
But he told a member of the
Academy of Beaux-Arts, to which
the ex-king was elected a foreign
member in 1924, that he planned
hereafter regular attendance at
these meetings of the French insti-
tute.
Members of the academy are paid
a small honorarium when they at

SHOT
MAKES ESCAPE
NeighbOr Fires on Man Try
ing to Enter Home of Mrs.
John Thompson, Milford
SOUGHT SALE MONEY

County officers are making a
wide search for a wouId-be burglar,
believed to have been seriously
wounded, who early Thursday
morning, was shot down while flee
ing from the home of Mrs. John
Thompson, of near Milford, which
he was trying to enter. He fell af-
ter Jesse Sharp, who with Mrs.
Sharp. was a guest at the Thomp-
son home, fired a shotgun at him,
but got up and fled to the woods
before Mr.. Sharp could pursue him.
The attempted burglary and
shooting followed an auction sale
at Mrs. Thompson's home. The
intruder, who could not be identi-
fled as to color, is believed to have
planned to rob the house of the
cash proceeds from the sale. Mrs.
Thompson, whose husband recent
ly died, had a sale at her farm
Wednesday and that night neigh
bors, Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Sharp,
stayed with her all night, fearing
someone might try to rob the
house. Mrs. Thompson, with this
thought in mind, said she could
sleep but little Near morning she
heard a window rattle. She got
out Of bed and peering out of the
bedroom window could just see the
shadow of someone at the window
directly under her. She aroused
Mr. Sharp, who loaded the shot
gun that he had brought along. and
crept to the window on the first
floor where Mrs. Thompson had
seen the shadow He found the
man who had been working on the
window, just raising the sash. The
burglar saw him and started to
run. Mr. Sharp leveled his gun
and fired point blank at the man
the load passing through the win
dow and the burglar falling. Mr.
+ Sharp then unlocked the front door
and those in the house went out
+ Just in time to see the man staggel
to his feet and disappear in the un-
derbrush close to the house. A
search revealed no further trace OF
the intruder.

WRECK TRAIN
Roadbed Ripped Up Near Mil
ford When Engine Crashes
Into Tie Across Tracks
INVESTIGATIONS FUTILE

An attempt was made Wednes-
day night to wreck passenger
train on the Franklin City branch
of the Delmarva Division of the
Pennsylvania railroad, a mile west
of Milford. The train was due in
Milford at 6.12 p. m. and was run
ming at a speed of 40 miles an hour
when the engineer saw what he be-
lieved to be bunch of grass across
the tracks. AS he neared the OBJ
struction the engineer, A. r. Mills,
of Harrington, saw it was a rail-
road tie and he APPLIED the emerg-
ency brakes, but it was too late.
The pilot of the locomotive struck
with great force, but remained on
the rails. 1t was bent in under the
forward trucks of the locomotive
and struck the ties ripping them
for some distance before the train
was stopped. The train consisted
of the engine and two cars, the lat
ter well filed with passengers who
were shaken up but unhurt. The
train proceeded slowly to Milford,
where mechanics from a garage re-
moved the pilot from the engine.
After an hours delay the train pro-
ceeded on its way. 1t operates be-
tween Harrington and Franklin
City. Railroad officials and detec-
tives went to the scene to make an
investigation, but have found no
clues.
