with gunshot wounds in the leg and
hip and a badly battered head, the
result of being beaten by cit
liens of Chestnut Level, Lancaster
county, Friday night
Miller with two other men enter
ed the general store of Richard l..
Henry at time when most of the
residents of the village we're at
tending prayer meeting at the Pres
byterian Church. Miller produced a
revolver and told Henry it was a
"stick-up".
The proprietor of the store said
that there was nothing doing, and
reached ON a shelf and got his own
revolver.
Miller fired at the storekeeper
while the other two wOuld-be
bandits ran out of the door. Henry
fired several shots at Miller, who
ran around the counter, trying to
escape.
Chester Croft, a resident Of the
village, ran to the church nearby,
and notified some of the men in the
church, who went to the store and
captured the bandit.
Miller is in a serious condition
because of the beating. The shots in
the leg and head were probably in
flicted by the storekeeper. Miller's
companions fed but were later
captured.
One of them proved to be Donald
Sharp, aged 18, of near Nottingham,
Pa, and the other Lee Phillips, en-
ployed near Peach Bottom, Pa, who
had fed to his home in Meadow
View, Va, where he was arrested on
Sunday.

Road Not To Be Called
Gov. Nice Highway

The Governor Nice HIGHWAY ISM
to be called the Governor Nice High
way any-more-it's merely to DC
known as the new Philadelphia road
or United States Route 40.
The Federal Bureau OF Public
Roads objected to the modern dual
highway being named after Nv
ing person and forced the State
Roads Commission to rescind the
honor it had bestowed on Govern
or Nice more than a year ago.
Results: Two Governor Nice
Highway road markers, one near
the city line and the other near the
Aberdeen. have been removed. They
won't be replaced with other signs,
roads officials said.
The modern highway, it was ex-
planned by Nathan l.. Smith, chleI
engineer, was financed with PWA
funds. The Bureau of Public Roads
which administration PWA road
proiect notified the Roads Commits
sion that a PWA rule of September
1887, prohibited the naming OF a
project for any living person.
The new Philadelphia road was
named after Governor Nice in No
vember, 1887, but apparently no one
knew of the PWA ruling at the
time.
Even il the PWA had only put
SIS into the road, they would have
the right to take this action" Mr..
Smith declared.
The chief engineer said the Roads
Commission had been advised by the
Bureau of Public Roads Of the PWA
rule several week ago and could do
nothing but rescind the name of the
highway.
