He removed two money bags placing them in one of the cars, got in the second car bearing two men and both sped away in the direction of Lawrence. Police learned that the two guards had placed the missing money bags in the truck and re-entered the bank to get more payrolls for deliveries. During this interim the two cars arrived and the theft and escape made. An eye witness whose name was withheld by police, reported he thought nothing of the act at the time because the bandit was dressed as a guard. He said one car was driven by a man dressed as a chauffeur.

There were five men in the two cars, he added. LOWELL, Aug. 10 (P). Five men, one of them dressed as a payroll guard, helped themselves to $15,800 from a safety payroll and bank service truck standing unguarded in front of the Union Old Lowell National bank here this morning and escaped unmolested. Not until the two guards assigned to the truck arrived a half hour later at the Lawrence Manufacturing Co.

BENNINGTON, Aug.

10. Brought before the court in overalls and hip boots. Miss Celia Heather, 61, of Searsburg, is out on $100 bail after being arraigned on a charge of refusing to have her cattle tested and with removing from quarantine contrary to law. She pleaded not guilty and her case was continued. Miss Heather protested that less than 90 per cent of the farmers in her locality were agreeable to a test and she denied that her cows were infected with tuberculosis, although the state claims that strays which have been tested, and which belonged to the Heather herd, reacted.

She protested this on the grounds that she was not present when tests were made. She was taken into custody by Officer Roy Dunn in her barnyard and was brought to court in her working attire, which she resented and told the court so in no uncertain terms. Statute section 4516 reads: Quarantine: exceptions. When the commissioner is informed by a veterinarian that a contagious disease exists, he shall or cause to be made an examination of such suspected animals, and may, in his judgment, quarantine such animals, or town, or place in which such animals are located, and shall take such other measures for the exter-jmination of the disease as may seem necessary for the public good: but the provisions of this section shall not be construed to include tuberculosis as a contagious disease, and quarantine regulations shall not apply to tuberculous cattle in such cases, except in case of animals which have been classified as suspicious or as reactors by a veterinarian as a result of tuberculin test.

COLUMBUS, Aug. 10 (JP). Although their fields and orchards have been depleted by the hot hand of the drought, Ohio and Indiana have escaped the scorching of their sister states to the west, a survey indicated today.

Prospects of a normal or better corn crop, predicted in Ohio crop re- ports for July 1, faded under the tri-i pie attacks of drought, chinch bugs and dust storms. Forage crops wilted, Fruit baked on the trees, In the midst of gloom, however, one bright spot stood out. The drought arrived too late to damage wheat. Prof. W.

A. Ramsower. Ohio admin-I istrator for the AAA and director of Ohio State universitys agricultural extension, summarized the situation. "Early forage crops," he said, have been cut 40 to 50 per cent. Ohio will be terriDly short of hay for cattle next winteJ and wont be able to buy any in the West.

"Previous to the latter part of July we had the most marvelous corngrowing weather in many, many years. I know of some corn that grew Authorities Think it May Have Been Placed on Track After Death Autopsy Likely to be Ordered Victim Dark Complexioned, About 40. ST. JOHNSBURY. Aug.

10 (JP) The frightfully mangled body of a woman, lying in a local mortuary, today aroused state authorities to delve intensively into the mystery of her identity and the exact cause of her death. The woman, or her body, if she had been dead, was run over by a Montreal-bound, double-header freight train of the Canadian Pacific railroad at a crossing about seven miles north of here last night. Members of the train crew said the form was seen lying across the tracks too late to stop the train. Two locomotives and six cars passed over the body, severing the head and one arm and otherwise mutilating it. Authorities, who judged the womans age to have been about 40 years, said she had been poorly dressed, was of dark complexion and weighed about 130 pounds.

All marks of identification had been removed from the clothing, and this fact caused States Attorney Sterry R. Waterman to conjecture that the woman may have been slain and the body placed on the tracks. He said that he might order an autopsy performed later in the day. Meanwhile, scores of persons viewed the body in an effort to identify it and authorities conned lists of persons reported missing in this and surrounding territory.

The contract with the Grlnnell company Is that the district connect the building by a 6-lnch main with the 6-lnch main on Grove street, which has been dpne this week.

Reid and Ayling Have No Definite Plans for Continuing Their Flight. LONDON, Aug. 10 (JP). After a sound nights sleep Leonard Reid and James R. Ayling appeared fully recovered today from their fatiguing flight over the Atlantic, in which they battled fog and dense clouds.

Their future plans were undecided. The two landed at Heston airdrome late yesterday, having traveled approximately 3,700 of the 6,300 miles from Ontario to Baghdad, their goal. Since their dream of breaking the distance flight record has been shattered, it was assumed Reid and Ayling would not continue on to Europe and Asia Minor. Carburetor trouble, the fliers said, used up their gasoline supply at a rapid rate The engines consumed 17 to 18 gallons an hour instead of the usual 10 and they had only about 200 gallons left when they landed. This and weather conditions forced them to give up the Baghdad goal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (JP). The AAAs far-reaching program of crop reduction is expected to be abandoned in part for 1935. An announcement to this effect is awaited as a result of the July report on the condition of the nations crops, due today. The change in plans would be only temporary.

Drought is the reason. The scourge of aridity has continued to harass the farmer since the report for June predicted wheat, oats and corn production as far below normal. Four factors prompt the AAA to consider lifting the acreage program for next year: 1. Short supplies will cut last years carryovers down to about normal. 2.

Officials appreciate the possibility that political opposition might grow if acreage reductions were continued in the face of lower supplies and high prices. 3. Another year of drought in 1935, while not expected, would require use of all acres to maintain supplies at normal. 4. Damage to next years wheat crop is already being predicted.

Some officials point out that plowing for winter wheat should be under way soon but preparations are Impossible in the dust. Supervision of production will not be abandoned next year. The system of contracting for reductions, possibly bringing a number of crops under a single contract, and making benefit payments, will continue whether or not the cuts actually are executed. Two new provisions would be written Into 1935 contracts. If production on expanded acreage next summer threatened to run out of bounds, farmers would be required to pasture or cut for hay the crops on a percentage of their land.

They also would be obligated to make reductions found necessary in 1936. Londonderry Man, Substantial Producer, Appointed by Mutual Life Insurance Co. of N. Y. Earle A.
