VOLUME 15.___ROANOKE RAP1DS-R0SEMARY, N. C. THURSDAY. MARCH 13th71930. ~ NUMBER IS. BOLD, SUCCESSFUL RESCUE OF CRIPPLE MAN FROM HOSPITAL WOUNDED PRISONER RESCUED Roy Johnson, Under Ar rest. Le? in Cast, Taken From 2nd Story Sometime in the early hours of Wednesday morning, two or more men ascended at ladder to the second story of the Roanoke Rapids hospital and quietly spir ited away Roy Johnson, a part of whose body and one entire j leg was encased in a plaster! cast which made movement for him impossible. j As the ancient novel would1 say, “Whence the villains camel and whitherest they went is un known.” Complete mystery and, silence enshrouds the case and Johnson, who was actually under arrest on a bootlegging charge, now faces another charge of es caping while under arrest. No guard was p!av d o\ •.•r ldm as i usually the cast* when an arrested man is placed in l- ‘ J - hnrvn was he! )1 svi'li •!• ■ i ; t cn \ i.- leg ar.d coub: ;• im gotl-a , (ii (f bed a! ne wl'r.oir. f'-olishly 1’a ' '.g to the i'h'or.

Forty ! gallons of whiskey was fount in his! car. He was brought to the hospital by officers charged with transportation and possession of whiskey. For three weeks he has been a model patient. At midngiht Tuesday, he is said to have told one of the nurses that the noise outside was disturbing him and he was having a difficult time going to sleep. He asked her to close his door which she did. The room was dark and no one entered it until early Wednesday morning. Then one of the nurses checking up on the patients found an empty room. The window in Johnson’s room was wide open and the screen had been unlocked from the outside. A ladder leaning against the wall explained the way of departure. Because Johnson could not get out cf bed without assistance.it is thought; one of his friends unlatched the screen sometime during a visit earlier in the day. When the time for the rescue came, his rescuers slipped to the win dow in the still hours of the early morning, placed the ladder against the wall and at least two of tl em en tered the room and carried the help less man to the ground. There are different theories as to the way he reached the ground as he is said to weigh a good 150 pounds. Some think the two men held him between them while they descended on each side of the ladder. Others think one man got on the ladder and carried Johnson down on his back; while others believe they lowered him to the ground with a rope. Anyway, the fact remains he is gone, cast and all, and there is no clue to his whereabouts at this date. —-n Mrs. W. R. Myrick Dies Suddenly Here Mrs. Nannie May Myrick, wife of R.

Clerk Superior Court. -□ Sale of Pulp Wood To Local Paper Mill Breaks all Retords Halifax Taper Corporation has re ceived more wood in the last thirty days than it has ever received in the same length of time before since it has been in operation. The wood measurer, Mr. J. W. Medlin, said that on Feb. 27, he received and measured .191 loads. On March 0, there were 577 truck and wagon loads of wood received. 1925 cords were received during the first week fo March. As ] the mill uses 390 cords per week there is an increase of over 1,500 cords above what is used weekly. They arc so much overstocked that they will not buy any more wood for the next 90 days. The farmer will find that it pays to take care of the tforests, as the money received fertile wood the Company has just bought will go far toward helping them take care of the farms. -□ NEW MINISTER ARRIVES Hugh Blake Bradley arrived on Tuesday morning at the local hospital for an extended visit to the Twin Ci ties.

COOKING SCHOOL Demonstrations V>v Local Companw for House- i wives Next Week The remarkable progress that has been made in the art of cooking by electricity, will be demonstrated to the housewives of Roan "ho Rapids Rosemary - Weldon.

The mechanism that works this range is simplicity ics- ’f. A simple alarm clock on the top of the stove is set at a certain hour, say five o’clock in the afternoon, when the evening meal is usually started. Then the raw food is placed in the oven and the housewife forgets about it. Promptly at five o’clock the aiarvn clock springs a switch and the oven begins to heat. When the right tem perature has been reached, the stove automatically cuts itself off, finishes the cooking operation and keeps the food hot until wanted. What is known as a thermostat, cuts the juice off when the right tem perature for cooking the food in the oven has been attained. A chart j showing what temperature should be | secured for the preparation of every variety of food is furnished with each range. The instructor who will be in charge has had many years experience in the demonstration work and is a cooking instructor of renown. In addition to demonstrating the electric range, she will give cooking instructions free of charge to all who attend. Mr. Goodmon, manager of the sales department of the local Virginia El ectric & Power Co., is especially in terested in having a large number of women attend these demonstrations. _n_ J. S.

I ho machinery of the government was stilled. Although it has been 17 years since Mr. Taft left the White House, the horrs that were giv en him in death are in keeping with rites for a president who has died in office. The universal high regard in which he was held, his occupancy of the two highest offices in the land, his straight-forward method of living, lmvo earned for him this goner u :• ;i ute from the nation he served for two-score years.

EVIDENCE FOUND IN HIS_ROOM Norman Dickinson Ar rested hv Federal Of ficer V^-<inesday A United States Secret Serv ice man and a local policeman cornered the man who is charg ed with raising and passing U. S. Currency in this section and arrested him in one of the stores here Wednesday morning. Norman Dickinson was ar rested in the Rosemary Drug Drug Co. store a« he was getting a prescription filled, after U. S. Agent L. 0. Padgett and Chief Dobbins had trailed him from his brother’s home in Rosemary Mill village. He denied the charge of raising and passing U. S. currency but a search of his room revealed all tl.D parapher nalia he had been using in his work. After the search he main tained a stolid •ilenco He was placed in the local jail af ter a hearing before Ooni:vi'-.l-”r.e;* YV. O. Thompson who set a b >r. ! .

He was a painter by t and did some odd painting ioV-s f r W • R- Curtis. He also worked a short time in the mills here. Since Ch i.-t mas he says he has not been employ ed. He is about i>5 years old and is unmarried. Last Sautrday, several Henderson merchants were victimized by a man passing five dollar bills raised to twenties. In North Henderson, a mer chant who was one of his victims not only remembered the man but re cognized him. Agent Padgett was no tified. He followed Dickinson here, lost the trail, picked it up again and arrested him. On searching his room much incriminating evidence was found by the officers. A pair of new socks was idenltfied as those bought in one of the Hen derson stores, where he passed a bill. F. M. Coburns Store identifies a new tie bought there when they received one of the bills two weeks ago. Mrs. Ilorwitz identified a pair of socks bought from the Rosemary Bargain Store, another victim here. Five brands of glue, a cut-out pat tern of the number 20, several num | hers already cut out and ready to paste on, a box of colored crayon, very sharp shading pencils, carbons for copy work, metal instruments for spreading- paste, a tiny pair of scis sors and a 45 calibre revolver with several clips fo ammunition completed the evidence. Saturday two weeks ago, several stores here on checking up found fake twenty dollar bills: five dollar billls which had been changed by clever pasting of the number 20 over the fives and shading and printing let ters to make the bill look very much like a twenty unless examined close ly. Coburns, Rosemary Bargain and one of the filling stations reported the bills while a fourth found its way to the Citizens Bank & Trust Co., be fore being detected. A week ago Saturday Warrentoi merchants found the same fake bil'.s in their cash registers and on last. Saturday it was the same story at Henderson, where as told before the passer was recognized by one of the merchants. Manager Lampley of the Carolina Hardware Co here was ask ed to accept a 20 dollar bill and when he wanted to tal c: the bill out for change the man disappeared The usual procedure was to buy a small amount of merchandise and get good money-for change. When first arrested on the chargi from Henderson, Dickinson denied be ing out of town last. Saturday but later said he had g »»e to visit hi* mother who lives at riitiditburg.
