Get Rooked By
Coal Bootlegger
Three Mount Joy
Pay For Six Tons
Families Buy And
And Get 4% Tons
We had several more examples
that it don’t pay to buy coal from
bootleggers. During the past week
or ten days three families here
each bought a truck load of coal,
presumably six tons, and got
“rooked” as the saying goes.
Harry Kuhn, South Market St.,
purchased a truck load of coal and
paid for six tons. He later dis-
covered that the bootlegger’s truck
only carries 41-2 tons, so he
threatened to arrest the trucker
who immediately returned $9.00
of his money.
John Grosh, on Marietta street,
bought and paid for a similar a-
mount from the same bootlegger.
He is still “out” the difference.
Mrs. Hornafuis, on East Donegal
street, purchased a load from the
same chap. By this time officers
Irvin Kaylor and Elmer Zerphey
were on the job. They threatened
to arrest the man before he un-
loaded the coal, but when he re-
