Frederick City wary of impostor and arson blaze incident
Yesterday three Frederick City enforcement officers pursued an advance from a businessman, locating a list of expensive homes prepared by a real estate broker. An imposter was exposed during a baseball talk with Sheriff Horace Alexander revealing Keller was on a hunting trip at Whiteville New York. A fire on South Street extended near Ramsburg Fertilizer plant destroyed a field as dozens of children watched United firemen extinguish the blaze while the arsonist remained unknown. Police dispersed a late night rowdy bottles-throwing crowd in Klinehart Alley behind John Hanson Apartments with no arrests. The incidents were blamed on partying. In Hunt Valley the Maryland Division American Cancer Society president Dr Conrad G Julian and national director Dr Robert F Faulconer congratulated Frederick County unit president Sterling Bollinger at the annual division meeting. Also present were Francis W Bush Sr Isaac L Stevens Dr and Mrs Bjarne Pearson Emily A Payne Mrs Russell A Dutrow Mrs Burton A Creager and Tom Mills who received the division's public information award for 1971.
