WAITING FOR ROBBERS SHERIFF NABS TWO CARS WITH LIQUOR Six Gallons In One Auto, Four In Another While lying in wait on the Sugar Grove road for robbers who took $6,000 from a Buchtel general store and were reported to be headed in this direction, Sheriff McNaghten. Deputy Peters and City Officer Keeley nabbed two motorists who were carrying large supplies of liquor in their machines.

The first auto stopped by the trio of officers was operated by George Lutz, former resident in the "Paper Mill Addition" here and more recently of near Rockbridge. Lutz's car carried 4 gallons of whiskey, according to the sheriff, who now has the driver in the county jail and will charge him with illegal session and transportation. If convicted, this will be the third time for Lutz. and the third time's not so charming in such a case. One time, in making a getaway from Hocking officials, Lutz was shot in the leg but nevertheless effected his escape.

Afterwards he gave himself up. Continuing their hunt for the rob bers, McNaghten, Peters and Keeley stopped another car, and this time it was a Columbus man in a Ford sedan, which also contained six gallons of liquor. He is in the city jail awaiting the filing of charges. Sheriff McNaghten is considering moving his headquarters to a mew location down on the Sugar Grove road where these arrests were made. Business conditions seem better down there.

"Cant I Be Far Below?" Every dog has his day, but the groundhog has six weeks at his disposal, and his foolish fear of his shadow. or his concern over the strain of sunlight on eyes that have been closed for three months, caused him to turn tail and rush back to his abode of hibernation. when, today noon, he emerged from his hole as tradition decreed. On any other day of the year he is just A woodchuck or possibly an aardvark, but today he is a weather prophet, a forecaster and a predictor extraordinary. In spite of the fact that we have been enjoying zephrys almost balmy and temperature that makes the sap run (nothing personal intended), the groundhog's timidity lets us in for six weeks more of winter, unless you are sceptical enough to think its a lot of hooey.

In the meantime we will enjoy the sunshine the wood chuck forsook. ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL Mrs. Lon Perry of E. Walnut St. was admitted to the City Hospital yesterday evening.
