Recover Two Stolen Guns
Two guns stolen recently
from the Mount Joy Sports
Farm have been recovered
and two Mount Joy youths
have been charged with bur-
glary and larceny, Police
Chief J. Bruce Kline said
this week.
Both guns were property
of the federal government,
having been made available
to the Sportsmen Association
as part of the rifle program
promoted by the organiza-
tion.
The two young men were
charged in Lancaster court
by state police, who were in-
volved in the investigation
with local officers and the
FB. 1
After being taken into cus-
tody, the defendants gave in-
formation about the location
of the guns and officers
were able to recover both
weapons. One was found in
a wooded area near Master-
sonville. But, it had had the
wooden stock burned away.
The second gun was recov-
ered by a diver in Conewa-
go creek near the crossing
of State Road 743. It was
located in water about 12 ft.
deep, police said, in a spot
which had been swept heav-
ily by high water during the
N
recent period of rain. How-
ever, it was in almost the
exact location the defend-
ants had said it could be
found.
All wooden parts on one
gun had been removed and
burned and the guns tossed
into the woods where it be-
came badly rusted before it
was retrieved. The weapon
taken from the creek, how-
ever, was immediately clean-
ed and is in good condition.
Both guns are now in the
hands of Earl Koser, presi-
dent of the Sportsman’s As-
sociation

peace and the defer-.nt was
found guilty. However, a
Reading attorney became in-
volved with the case and
now the matter is in Lancas--
ter court, taken there on an
appeal.
Appeal was made on the
grounds that the speed signs
which applied to the area
in which the man was arrest-
ed are not legal.
Legal signs, following a
rather recent edict of the
state must be at least 30” x
36” in measurements for
use on two and three lane
highways.
Mount Joy signs were er-
ected when the law states
that they be 24” x 30”.
Police Chief J. Bruce
Kline said this week that
most all of Mount Joy's
speed signs are of the small-
er size.
At its meeting Monday
night, Mount Joy borough
council voted to get new
signs “immediately and put
em up.”
Council was told that 122
signs are involved and that
the complete / cost, by the
time they are erected, will
be about $1,500.
Notice that new signs were
necessary, it was finally de-
termined, was given in '68.
