Police Nab Bandit And
Stolen Guns

A paroled convict in whose auto
monte eleven stolen rifles and shot
guns were found was captured Fri
aay afternoon by Baltimore city de-
tectives, who had run him down
after a fifteen-block chase.
lie was Carl Nagle, alias Earl
Woods, 20, of Philadelphia. Police
said Nagle was paroled about elgh-
teen months ago after serving seven
years in the Eastern State Penitenti-
airy, near Philadelphia, on an auto
mobile larceny charge.
The gums found in the trunk of his
utomoblle. which was discovered to
have been stolen in York, Pa, last
February, were Identified as most
of those taken from Bel Air hard
ware store last Sunday.
Police said Nagle drove into a
North High street garage, in the
city of Baltimore, Friday afternoon
and asked Charles Huber, 17-year-
old mechanic, who was alone in the
garage, to look at the carburetor of
the machine. Then he left. A short
time later, the young mechanic said,
Maggie returned to the garage with
another man, entered and ordered
Huber to remain outside. Suspicious,
Huber locked through the partially
open door, watched Maggie open the
trunk of the automobile and saw the
guns.
When Nagle left again, the me-
chanic called the Detective Bureau,
which sent a squad of men, headed
by Sergt. John Boniarski, to the
garage. They arrived justas Maggie
drove up in another machine.
Seeing the officers, Nagle fed on
foot. He was chased for fifteen blocks
by the detectives, afoot and in COM
mandeered machines, before he was
captured by Detective Edward Wood
all and Patrolman James Mack, OF
the Central district.
Detectives said they believed the
other man had been brought to the
garage by Nagle as a prospective pur
chaser of the firearms, which were
stolen from the S. Bond Borman
Hardware Company at Bel Air.
The automobile, special high
powered machine, had been stolen
from a York, Pa, dealer in February
and the license plates on the ma
chine at the time of Nagle's capture
were stolen from Marlin U. thinner
man, of Rising Sun, Md, about two
months ago.
After Negle was questioned he
was turned over to Bel Air author
tiles for prosecution. Police said he
admitted all three thefts-the auto
mobile, the weapons and the license
plates.

Mortgage Set Aside BY
Court

Judge J. Owen Knots, Of this
Judicial Circuit, last week, handed
down an opinion setting aside a
mortgage for $4,000 given by j.
Otis Kennard, of near Rising Sun,
to his wife, Mrs. Anna Kennard. The
Elkton Banking and Trust Company,
which held several notes of Mr.. Ken
nard, was plaintiff in the case.
The case was heard by Judge
Knots several weeks ago, when the
defendant alleged that the money
for the mortgage was that of Mrs.
Kennard, and therefore he had a
legal right to give her mortgage,
because, in reality she was the act
ual owner.
1t is understood that the case will
be carried to the Maryland Court OF
Appeals.

Slides Cause Trouble In
Canal

Slides in the Deep Cut section of
the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal,
at Summit Bridge, are requiring
frequent dredgings at that point.
Bottoms of the large hills in that
section have been sliding out. Parti-
ally filling the channel. This condi-
ton has necessitated constant dredg-
ing by government dredges since
contract dredges completed work
several months ago.
The depth of the canal for the
passage OF boats is governed by the
most shallow part which has been
the Summit area and which has
caused the 1S-foot draft limit to be
forced until last week. Then the
limit was raised to approximately
20 feet after derrick barge No.37
finished dredging.

Gr1tS and
Gravel
BY T. MOSES JONES

Yesterday a man paid me small
amount of money which he had been
owing me for about year and half
No it wasn't much, but it was enough
to jingle and rattle in my pocket, and
I was sure glad to get hold of it for
never expected to see it. The fellow
had had tough luck ever since he
had made the debt, sickness, bad
health, and 1 don't know what all.
So up he walks to me most unex-
pectedly and tells me how he wants
to pay me, and names the correct
amount, and hands it to me. Which
all goes to show that there are yet
few really honest people left i'll the
world. So the way I feel towards him
now is that 1 would trust his honesty
I'D to a million dollars if it were
necessary, the occasion demanding
and that amount of money being on
hand.
I really wonder where that old
adage, maxim, or whatever you cali
it:
Honesty is the best policy"
came from. Was it from Shakespeare
Aesop's Fables, The Psalms, or Pro-
verbs of the Bible, Poor Richards
Almanac, or just from some old copy
book of years gone by? Now that is
not a catch but a plain, simple won
dering. And could somebody supply
the source of it's origination to me-?
1 almost bet you won't.
1 have tried from time to time
to get folks curiosity aroused in
many different ways by saying such
things in this column which thought
would bring me an answer or two, but
for a few exceptions, it seems that
most all of you are immune from re-
plying to anything that I migh- say :.
mere are many folks who could bring
up something for this column tina
would be very interesting reading
matter, if they only would. But it
seems that every one is too busy do
ing something else to bother about
trying to help this very, very Old
Nose.
This is being written on Friday
! morning and our hearts are almost
sad that my niece, Lois, is leaving in
the afternoon to go back to her home
at Houston, Texas. Lois is mighty
fine and sweet girl, and really very
pretty young lady Several folks have
expressed in one way or another thu

they hardly thought it possible for me
to have such-a-looking. girl for a
niece, as is Lois.
Yes. the Grange convention goes on
through the day today (F'riday) and
folks from Dan to Beer-Sheba are
here in attendance. The barbecue
supper was held last night, to which
many of the townsfolk were in at
tendance, but this piece of humanity
did not attend, nor was he even offer
ed one of the many complimentary
tickets which were given out all day
over the town to the big business
men and possibly Others.
But 1 had some supper, never-the-
less. I had been invited out to Fred
and George BlackwelpS, at Mr.. Bob's
to their cornshucking supper. A GER
tain somebody was to take me, and 1
waited on the corner until seven
o'clock, then to find out that some
thing unavoidable had happened ant
he could not go. So came on home
and was thankful for what was left
on our supper table.
And there had gone all day since
breakfast, a-fasting, trying to work
up good appetite, and drinking q
glass of water every hour during the
day, and going without any dinner So
would be good and hungry. Not
wearing suspenders, I almost had to
hold up my trousers all the p. IN.
with my hands, was getting SO emp

when I found could not go. 1 hal
gotten up SO high, that when fell
back down 1 almost popped. But
have learned in these long years that
one bad disappointment won't hurt
you, but will only prepare you for an
even greater one. So for the 999th
time will some one please write us
something to create a little inter-
est for this column?

put the ball on the three yard marker.
