We feel he did everything in his power to imake the flight a success and we stand firmly back of him.” The committee gave unanimous approval to the statement made by Buffclen aud at once opened negotiations by wire to have the plane rebuilt or to have a new machine built for the 4,700-mile flight and rushed to completion as rapidly as possible. o — FAMILY REUNION CALENDAR Sunday, August 4 Sixteenth annual Reunion of the Oswalt family, Washington Park, Bluffton.

Story of Arrests Told A spectacular story ot' how Roy and Ora Smith were arrested at Homewood, Illinois, by police officials of that city was told today in a communication from Home wood officials to Sheriff Harl Hollingsworth, of this city. The two Smith boys and William Bland, 16, of Paulding, Ohio, were driving through Homewood Friday. A motorcycle policeman became suspicious of them and followed them, according to the story told Sheriff HoUingsworth. The trio, driving a Chevrolet automobile, later identified as the one

stolen last week from Paulding, stopped ut a street Intersection and the policeman asked them where they I got the car. One of the three answer-1 ed that they had purchased it. ’lhe i policeman ordered them to get out of the car. which they all three did. Roy Tries To Escape As the three men stepped out of ■ the machine, the policeman noticed that a black-jack was protruding | from the pocket of Roy Smith. 7he | policeman said he would take them | to the police station to investigate' their case further and Roy started to run away. The policeman fired a shot at him, which barely missed his head, ami he stopped. The three were then loaded into the stolen car and taken to police headquarters where several officers began questioning them. Roy Smith at first refused to talk and demanded that they be released. A policeman struck at him. knocking him down according to the story, and then turned to his brother. Ora Smith and said, “Now what have you got to say?” Begin Telling Story Ora immediately admitted that the car was a stolen one, and the three began telling parts of a story that involves auto thefts at Paulding, Jackson, Michigan; Cement City, Michigan; Columbia City and Decatur. The men admitted stealing several cars and parking them for a lew days on some lonely road. They would then return and get the cars and sell them or else strip them of their valuable accessories: sell lhe accessories and let the chassis remain to be found by police.
