ROBBERS WORK IN THIS COUNTY OYER WEEK END (Continued from Page One) .could find no tract? of theam'""""’’? F Monroe Marshal on Guard Marshal Robert Andrews, of Monroe, became suspicious when he I heard of the robin ry al Honduras and I decided to stay up all night for fear the r < bbrrs would visit Monroe. iThe marsh;'! and Vern’e Circle weroi sitting in front of the cream station

across the street from the Liechty store when a Ford coupe came into town from the west. The car slowed down at the Pennsylvania depot and two men got out and went to the! Liechty store. The far went on to' the south part of the town. The two men first went to the' front <f the store and looked in. Then 1 th>y Went to the west side of the’ ! stere, which Is next to the railroad tracks, and bttike out a window glass.: At . r breaking the glass, the bandits j discovered that some object was sit* ping next to the window which blocked thdr entrance at that point. They I went to another window further north and removed i window pane without breaking It. They entered through this opening. Shoot At Bandits After seeing the two men enter the I store, Marshal Andrews and Circlel i laid their plans for capturing the min. They procured a shotgun and j reVolver, Marshal Andrews taking the' •“hotgun and waiting in front of the' store, while Circle took the revolver I and hid in the tall grass along the , railroad tracks next to the store. Evidently the bandits heard a noise I made by the men on the outside as they hurried from the store. One man left through the front door and r: n toward the railroad tracks within a f< w feet, of Circle. Circle leveled : his revolver at him and snapped the i trigger three times. The gun failed I to shoot the first two times and when , it fired on the third attempt the bullet. missed its mark. The other bandit left through a door on the east side and ran around the front of the building past Marshal Andrews. The marshal fired his gun at the fleeing man, but ho was unable to tell whether he hit him or not. Flee In Auto One bandit ran south down the street and tlje other fled down the railroad tracks They joined the third party waiting for them at the south edge of town in the automobile and I drove away going south. When the two bandits escaped. Marshall Andrews.and Circle entered the store and searched it. believing that there was a third man inside. Sheriff John Baker was notified andj he made a search of the various roads in this vicinity and went to. Monroe, but no trace of the bandits■ could be found. Nothing was missed from the hardware store except the small amount of change in the cash register. It is thought that the bandits who, broke into the st >re at Monroe wero not the same ones who held-up Mr. 1 Crum at Honduras. I'ecu.'i-r ygr.a Language. f'.e Yai:.i '. .: ;k’c of i: si'i tern California repivs' . s a oist net linguistic stock and had formerly three dialects, one of which is now extinct.

Effects of Warm Rain. When a warm rain occurs over a snow-covered region it Is not the rule a<> much us the warm wind that melts j the snow. An Inch of ruin at 50 degrees Fahrenheit could melt only three Inches of light new snow or one Inch I of old snow. Various Types of Buoys. There are 40 different types of buoys used nt sen, each of which has 1 a meaning of Its own. That of n green ! color, for Instance, marks a wreck, j while others similarly distinctive show ' Where rocks, sliouls, sandbars and deep-water channels occur. Big Demand for “Tin Foil.” Five thousand tons of tin are consumed In this country annually for "tin foil," which is now employed ex- I tensively for wrapping chocolate, ciga- ' reties and many other articles of mer- | i chandise.

An Italian professor says laughter is a surer indication of charnetei than handwriting. The best kind ot laugh is tlie hearty “Ha, ha, ha," showing a frank disposition. “He. lie, he!" is the sign of a moody and gloomy man. * High Civilization In Yucatan. Yucatan is "tlie Egypt of America." As early us tlie beginning of tlie Christian era tlie people there built stone . structures of excellent masonry, true angles and smooth, vertical faces.
