POSTOFFICE AT McCOMAS
is ROBBED MONDAY A Nj.
$4,000 In r ings, Stamps and
Cash, 400-lb Safe Taken; Asst.
Postmaster Loses Diamonds;
Searching for Robbers

Postage stamps, currency and
diamonds valued at$3, 800 were
stolen early Tuesday morning
when robbers entered the post
office at McComas and carried off
400-pound safe.
The biggest loser was Mrs.
B. S. Watts, assistant postmaster
who had several expensive dia-
mond rings in the safe.
w. |. Gulley, the postmaster,
also suffered financial loss, and
the federal government is out
six-hundred fifty dollars.
Entrance to the postOffice
was was gained through rear
window, from which the safe
was thrown. 1t was carried over
creek, and showed up the rail
road bank, and then placed on
the rails and pushed to a point
about 300 yards from the post
office. Apparently it was placed
in truck at that point and haul
ed away.
Deputy Sheriff c. G.. Elmore
and Carl G.. Christian were sent
to McComas as soon as the rob
berry was discovered. Sheriff G..
H. Crumpecker, Corporal w.
Hampton, and others Joined in
the investigation later in the day
when it became known that the
loot was valued at several thou
sand dollars.
There was S475 worth of
stamps in the safe, Colt pistol
and S185 in cash belonging to
the federal government.
Mrs. Watts lost $4,000 worth
of rings and $500 in cash and
$4,000 in checks. She had ono

ward converted the fight into a
rout. Homicide Henry couldn't
bring his rivel down no matter
haw hard he tried but he won
the last eight rounds so decisive
ly that there remained no doubt
of the outcome.
Ross, aided by smelling salts,
mustered the courage to stand
up under fearful punishment to
the final bell but he was a sorry
sight. Barney fought the last 8
rounds with his right eye closed,
the whole side of his face puff
ed, his nose and mouth bleeding
profusely and his left side a mass
of raw welts.
Once in the twelfth, it looked
as though the champion could
not go the route. His knees fold
ed and he bent double, folded
his arms around his head, after
taking series of smashing
right hands t o the side of the
head. Barney's one open eye was
CLASSY. But he managed to keep
his feet and rejected any idea
of quitting.
Referee Donovan went to Bar
ney's corner just before the bell
for the 18th round to find out
whether Ross wanted to yield.
The Chicagoan shook his head.
Armstrong landed left hook
in the 18th that spun Ross half
around and sent a bloody spray
across the ring Again, it look

covered and blocked the Negroes
desperate attempt for a knock
out. In the final round Ross had
enough stamina and courage to
trade punches briefly with the
firing challenger, but there was
mt any power behind Barney's
weary efforts.
Ross was so constantly in re-
treat and on the defensive thru
out the last half of the bout,
Contemplating only in short
spurts, that credence was given
to ring-side reports that the

mum mounting valued at $500;
square diamond ring valued at
$loO, and one ring containing 20
small diamonds with four pearls
across the top, valued at $50.
Two hundred of her $400 in cash
was in fifty, twenty and five dol
lar denominations and the rest
was in smaller bills contained in
an envelope.
The robbery was not discover
ed until employees Of h e post
office went to the office Tues
day morning.
County officers said that the
McComas robbery was the big
gest haul that has been made in
the county in many years.
Postal authorities were mott

Ross in Front After eth Round
But Last 8 Go to Negro Boy;
One of Greatest Fighting Ma
chimes of All Time

Madison Square Garden Bowl,
New York, May 31,-Dusky, dy-
manic and destructive Henry
Armstron, greatest little fight
ing man of his time, wrote new
chapter in ring history tonight
by giving a savage beating to
Barney Ross and capturing the
world welterweight champion
ship.
The sensational Negro from
Los Angeles, already holder of
the world featherweight or 1875
pounds title, achieved unprece-
denied fistic heights by hurting
one class completely to lift the
147-pound crown from the bat
tered head of the gallant little
Chicagoan.
Ross lasted the full Is rounds,
surviving terrible punishment
without once going down, but
hewas SO badly beaten that the
unanimous d C i S 10 n in Arm
strong's favor at the finish was a
mere formally and was received
in semi-silence by an estimated
crowd Of 10000.
Only his courage and fighting
instinct saved Ross from a knock
out. Twice he refused the pleas
of his handlers to let them stop
the fight. Once, with only three
rounds to go, he shook his head
negatively when Referee Dono-
van suggested the possibility of
hating the one-sided match. But
when he got to his dressing
room Barney promptly announc-
ed he had fought the last fight
of career that saw him scale
world lightweight honors as well
as the weller heights.
For six rounds Ross made it
close and exciting. On the AP
score card the Chicagoan gain
ed three Of the first six rounds,
first, fourth and fifth. He was
actually in front when, despite
absorbing a heavy battering, he
was awarded the seventh round
on a penalty, the result of a low
punch by Armstrong.
But that seeming "break "
actually was the turning point
of the match. From there on
Armstrong, crowding and clout-
ing, constantly pressing for

In no instance was force or ill

The Santa Monica Mountains,
black and frightening against the
densely clouded bay, made a su-

desolation seemed imminent. To
see the contours of the familiar
earth changing before your eyes,
see the ocean brushing the land
aside and roaring up the road is
dramatic but appalling. All along

this thing happened. Embark
