Edward Bremen was released on
a dark street in the residential
section of Rochester, Mimi, after
a ride he estimated as from 10
to IL hours.
Greeted by Sister
From there, the victim went to
downtown Rochester, boarded a
train and got off in a town near
st. Paul. At this point. he took
a bus which brought him to st.
Paul a little after midnight.
At home, he was greeted by his
sister, Louise.
Mr.. Bremen had been taken to
Rochester in small car in which
there were three men.
The kidnap victims return to
safety was followed Immediately
by a visit from Federal agents,
who questioned him at length.
AS soon as he had given an out
line of his experiences, he went
to bed, leaving orders not to be
disturbed until this afternoon.
'T've Done My Part"
Payment of the ransom was
accompanied by a note signed by
Adolph Bremen. It read:
"To parties holding Edward:
I've done my part and kept my
word 100 per cent, just as I
said would. This money is not
marked and is the full amount
asked for. Now, boys, / am
counting on your honor. Be
sports and do the square thing
by turning Edward loose at
once, and tell him to come to
my house at once"
The banker was beaten Wnen
he attempted to resist his kid
napers when first they "snatched'
him.
However, although he bled
freely, he was not severely hurt.
He was driven about for ID
hours in an automobile imme'
diately after he was kidnapped.
Escape Effort Futile
AS soon as he learned the OBJ
ject of his kidnapers, he tried to
escape, but found the force OF
numbers too much for him.
The kidnapers inflicted injuries
which accounted for the blood.
stains found on the front seat oi
his car. It was these stains which
led to reports that he might have
been slain.
Following the 15-hour ride, the
kidnapers stopped in front Of
house, believed somewhere neal
Rochester. Here Mr.. Bremen wa'
held until last night.
Except for the first attack upor
him, he was well treated during
the entire time he was held pris'
oner. He was given good food apc
plenty Of it, and was furnished
comfortable place to sleep.
Ransom A Record
Mr.. Bremen had no opportunity
to see his captorS clearly. He wa
blindfolded almost Immediately
and bandages were kept on hi
eyes during the % days Of hi
captivity.
Mr.. Bremer'S return marked the
conclusion of the sixth major kid

sum paid for the release Of any oi

Winter School Courses
At University Offer
Unusual Opportunities

Young men and women of Montgom-
cry county interested in farm and COM
munity life have an unusual opportun-
ity offered of continuing their educa-
ton through the new six week Winter
School to be held at the University of
Maryland, January to February Is.
Seventy-four courses In agriculture,
home economies, and rural life will
be offered. The courses are designed
to help young people make better
living on the farm, enjoy farm life
and to become better citizens.
Since Howard county is so near the
University, it will be possible for
students to commute. The actual out
lay of money in order to take the
course should not be over from $500
to $500. The cost for students who
would rather reside at the University
while taking the course would be APP
proximately $4,000.
DR.. Harry j. Patterson, Dean of the
College of Agriculture and Director
IF the Experiment Station, is in
charge. More detailed information in
regard to the school may be secured
by writing him or by communicating
with the local Extension Service.

Automobile Association, to complaints
coming from A. A. A. members riding
over Maryland roads to the effect that
hunters are very careless in shooting
near travelled highways. Such action
is very unbecoming the hunting public
of Maryland and very serious acct

of the hunters of Maryland do not

ing injured and we appeal to you at
this time not to hunt or shoot near
travelled highways at any time"

FREE TUITION FOR
HEROINE OF STORM
Reward for Bravery in Colo
RADIO. Snow Tragedy.

Pueblo, COlO.-The heroine of one of
the nations most gripping tragedies
the Towner bus catastrophe of March
90, 1931-is attending the American
Business college free of tuition in rec
ignition of her bravery.
Nineteen years old and exceedingly
pretty now, Clara Smith of Kiowa
county perhaps has been forgotten by
most of the tickle world which paid
tribute to her and Bryan Untiedt for
their courage, but the proprietors of
the business college did not forget.
Not only have they given her an I'M
limited course in the school but have
helped her in other ways to win an
education. She is taking secretarial
course.
Clara was fifteen that day in March
1881, when the heroism she and two
others showed caught the headlines of
newspapers all over the nation.
1t was the story of twenty pitiful
children and a courageous bus driver
pitted against the worst storm in the
history of southeastern Colorado
On the morning of March 90 Carl
Miller, thirty-three, driver of the bus,
took twenty laughing children to Mount
Pleasant school under threatening
skies and with the mercury dropping
rapidly. The teachers heard the warn
ing of the wind and dismissed the
school. Miller and the children start
ed back.
Sensing the approach of a blizzard
of vicious proportions, Miller took
short cut which routed the bus off of
heavily Travelled roads. He had not
gone far before roaring blast of wind
and snow threw the bus into a ditch
stalled.
All through the day Miller stayed
with the children. The wind ripped
away at the pasteboard in the windows
of the bus. Night came and still no
car came to rescue the children At
dawn there still was no aid and Miller
went for help.
He left the children, ranging in ages
upward from six, in the care of Bryan
Untiedt and Clara Smith.
Bryan and Clara kept the children
moving within the bus. They had them
pinch each other, to keep them from
falling asleep. They gave their meager
clothing to the smaller tots. In the
hours that followed five children lapsed
into heavy sleep and then into death,
despite all that Bryan and Clara could
do.
When aid finally came, the fifteen
surviving children were rushed to hos
pital where all recovered. Miller was
found frozen to death not far from the
bus.

Excavations in Istanbul
May Disclose Treasure

IStanbul.-EXcavati in the courts
surrounding the ancient Cathedral of
st. Sophia, which will be undertaken
under the auspices of the ministry of
education and of art, are expected to
yield rich finds.
The cathedral stands in the very old
est part of the Acropolis, which was
built here in the Seventh or Eighth
century B. G.
Later on the palaces of Constantine,
TheodOsius, and Justinian were erected
here.
Subsequent emperors enlarged the
buildings and fitted them out with in
credible pomp and luxury.
1t was here that Emperor Justinos
II had his golden dining room, a colos-
sal octagonal hall in which 300 banquet
guests could be accommodated.
