A LOAD OF HAY THE CAUSE OF A "BIG WAR"
About seven o'clock on Thursday morning
large load of hay blew over at the toll gate on
the Dulaney's Valley turnpike, in this place.
The hay had to be re-loaded and for this pur-
pose the man driving the team employed three
Civil Righters-Sam Hills, Ben. Best and
"Shorty" Miller-to do the work, and when it
was finished Hills received $3.50, with instruc.
tions to divide it equally between the three
When squaring up time came the cashier re-
fused to give his helpers more than 25 cents
each. This caused war of words for an hour
or two when finally Hills and Miller prepared
for "set to-" Just at this time officer Brown
came up and asked Miller to take walk with
him towards the Jail. ''Shorty" demurred to
this and gave the officer a chase before he was
captured. 1t was then found he was not the
agressor, and he was accordingly set at liber-
ty. Brown then went after Hills. and the lat
ter suspecting something, started to run, the
officers and about forty men and boys after
him. He was told to halt, but did not seem to
understand the meaning of the word, and the
officer emptied two or three chambers of his
pistol, in the hope of bringing him to. This
had no effect and the only means left was to
run him down, which was accordingly done
ard he was taken. The whole affair created
considerable excitement in the town, which,
however, soon quieted down and men and boys
resumed their places around the store and bar
room stoves, and discussed the merits of the
case.

LOOKING FOR HIS SIsTER.-A bright looking
country lad, about fifteen years of age, went to
the northwestern station house last night and
asked for assistance to find his sister. He said
his father and mother died recently, and he and
his sister had been living out for board with
farmers in Baltimore county. Some days ago
his sister, who is oaly ten years of age, but
well grown and good looking, came to Balti-
more and answered some advertisement. The
boy said he had very good reason to believe
that the girl had been entced away by wo-
man of bad reputation. One of the reserve po-
lice officers was sent out and evidence found
that the boys story was true, but up to late
hour last night the girl had not been found
