A Pugnacious Lawyer Indicted.-0n
Monday last the Grand Jury of Baltimore city
indicted Mr.. John Johns, a Washington lawyer,
for publishing criminal libel against Mr.. F. W.
Bruno, a we'll known Baltimore lawyer. Mr..
Johns was one of the defendants in the Johns will
case, in which DIR. Caldwell and others contested
the will of John FOLLY Johns. The jury set the
will aside. The Indictment charges John Johns
with publishing certain false, scandalous and
malicious libel of the tenor following:
Of. W. Bruno, Baltimore, Md.-No. 81 Kel-
Iogg Building, Washington, June 30, 1885. You
have filed O paper at Towsontown accusing my
my wife, Mary Mercer Johns, along with Mrs.
Betty Merryman Black and several of my kins-
women, with fraud and conspiracy Knowing
you to be cowardly, lying lawyer, who packed
a jury and robbed me of my property, who
Coaches witnesses, and takes cases for what you
can make out of them, I brand you as a cowardly,
lying. I'll attend to your friend, that hound,
John j. Caldwell, at the proper time. Did
think you had the courage to meet a man and
give him redress, I'd pursue different course.
But a 'jury-fxer' like you I am aware has an
heroic superiority to any sense of shame or
scrupes of conscience. I'll be at Towson court
ON Thursday next. j. JOHNS"
The paper referred to in the alleged libel was
filed in the Baltimore county Orphans Court in
the course of legal proceedings by Mr.. Bruno as
counsel with others. 1t is understood this is the
same matter for which Major John I. Yellott was
challenged to mortal combat by Mr.. Johns, who
afterwards let the matter drop, claiming that he
did not intend his letter to Major Yellott as
challenge.

A Skirmish in the Upper End.-A cor
respondent of the Glen Rock Item, writing from
Maryland Line, 18th district, says: ga shooting
affair occurred in this place Saturday night
last. The parties engaged were hostler at the
hotel and Mr.. B. D. Roster. The hostler had
taken umbrage at Mr. Roster and purchased
pistol with the avowed intention of being "ready
for him." They met at the gates opening into
the stable yard, when the hostler drew his pistol,
but before he could use it Mr. Roster drew one
and fired, the ball missing its aim. The hostler
then fired, one ball passing through Mr.. Rosters
sleeve, another stuck in the leg of a colored man
who happened to be passing on the opposite side
of the street, but the ball did not enter the flesh
for he afterward found it in his boot. Mr.. Roster
fred but one shot, there being but one in his re-
volver The hostler fred five times. His aim
was bad, as the balls whistled unpleasantly near
several parties standing some distance off, and
not in line with his antagonist He was finally
knocked down and the weapon taken from him.
There was quite ripple of excitement for short
time, and some strong language was used in re-
ference to the hostlers actions, but matters have
quieted down and remain SO at this writing"

Delicate Surgical Operation.-About the
middle of last April, Mr.. A. 7. Gall, q wel-known
farmer and proprietor of carp pounds in Howard
county, accidentally swallowed the ear and q
small portion of the labra of stem of timothy
grass, which he held between his lips while en-
gagged in conversation. The substance slipped
into the larynx and produced severe paroxysm
of coughing, which lasted about four hours. He
was taken to his home, and shortly afterwards
attacked with pneumonia of the lower lobe of the
right lung, followed by gangrenous modification.
Drs. G. Fred. Matthew and III. Salzer, of Balti-
more, took charge of the case, and Mr.. Gall re-
covered sufficiently to enable him to walk about
the farm and attend to business. A few weeks
afterwards, however, it became evident that the
disease had not been checked, but was slowly adj
vancing to the adjacent and hitherto untouched
portion of the right lung. After careful and ma
ture consideration, the doctors determined to open
the windpipe sufficiently to remove the straw. On
the goth of July they performed the operation of
lower tracheotomy below the thyroid glandule,
opening the windpipe behind the handle of the
breast bone and ejecting artifcially particles of
the straw by means of forced expiration. In ad-
dition to this, the change of the current of air
proved of such beneficial alternative influence
upon the patients lungs that on the 18th of Aug.
Mr.. Gall returned to his family. This delicate
and one of the most intricate operations was sue
cessfuly performed by the attending physicians,
and has proved highly interesting to many who
were acquainted with the nature of the case.

of this well-known market, which is being pub
lished in the Old Town Advocate, extracts of
which have heretofore appeared in our columes,
is continued, as follows: SIN February, 1926, the
hay scales which had been situated on South or
Belvidere street, were removed and erected on the
public ground in the Belair Market space, at a
cost of $3.50, and an ordinance was passed by the
City Council forbidding any person to sell or
offer for sale within the limits of the markets, any
merchandise or clothing of any description what
ever, or any article except eatables. But the
gardeners and farmers were permitted to expose
for sale articles of their household manufacture
In 1928 the selling within the limits of any of
the markets, except on the butchers stalls, any
fresh meat in pieces less that quarter, was for
hidden under penalty of ten dollars. In 1928
the City Commissioners were authorized to re-
move the hay scales and apparatus belonging
thereto to location south of Low street, at a
cost not to exceed $780, Among the ordinances
and resolutions of the City Council for 1928, the
following is found:
"ResoIred By the Mayor and City Council, That
the mayor is authorized to receive from the heirs
of the late Col. Nicholas Rogers, deed for five
feet of ground on each side of the Belle Air
Market, and the City Commissioners are author
lied to have that portion of the market space

for the seventh annual tournament of the Towson
Guards and had it not been for one untoward
circumstance it would no doubt have proven
very Successful affair." Several hundred people
had gathered upon the beautiful grounds and
everything, except the lowering clouds, indicated
an afternoon of solid enjoyment-ifp pleasure can
be extracted out of a tournament, and it is evil
dent that large proportion of our population
believe that it can. Eleven knights, some on
prancing steeds and some on steeds not quite so
prancing, charged about the grounds preparatory
to being called for the trial ride Thomas G.
Weeks ESQ.,, the silver-tongued young orator,
delivered the charge, after which the riding COM
menced. Before it had proceeded very far, how
ever, the aforesaid lowering clouds commenced
leaking very seriously, and in little less than no
time the assembled multitude-except such as
were protected by close carriages-were drenched
with rain. regular stampede followed, and
old Jupiter Pluvius seemed to enjoy the havoc
he made with the white dresses and the "fxins"
of the ladies, and the more ooh, dears" and ooh,

food-gates and the tournament grounds, which
only few minutes before presented scene of
life and gaiety, were deserted and the glory of
the tournament, for the time being, at least, was
o'ershadowed by disposition on the part of the
assembled throng to seek dry quarters and dry
clothing. It was, in fact, very wet rain-too
wet even for the Towson Guards and their seventh
annual tournament was abandoned until such
time as they could come to some satisfactory I'M
derstanding with the clerk of the weather.
But while the tournament was broken up by
the rain the ardor of those who came to enjoy the
pleasures of the dance was not wilted beyond re-
pair, and later in the evening the armory was
opened and it was soon occupied by very large
company. Prof. Wright's orchestra, which had
been engaged for the tournament dance, took
its place in the hall, and before dark score or
more of couples were gliding gracefully through
the "giddy mazes," all unconscious of the damp
ness without. These festivities were kept up the
greater part of the night and appeared to be
heartily enjoyed by participants and lookers-on.
The Guards propose to hold another tourna-
ment, at the same place, Tuesday, September Sth,
when it is hoped they may be more fortunate as
regards the character of the weather.

Hunt, paying teller of the Eutaw Savings Bank,
Baltimore, and highly esteemed young man,
met with an accident at Hollofeld's Station, on
the BALTIC. Ohio railroad, on Friday morning of
last week, which cost him his life. He was board
ing near Hollowield's with his uncle, DR.. W. G.
Kloman, going back and forth morning and even
ing on the railroad. On Friday morning he at
tempted to board the train as it pulled up to the
station, when his umbrella, which he carried I'M
der his arm, caught in the hand-rail of the car,
throwing him under the wheels, which passed
over his leg, cutting it off below the knee. He
also sustained serious internal injuries He was
removed to the residence of his uncle and the

tated the leg at the thigh. Mr.. Hunt never re-
covered from the shock and died on Saturday

ried and had been in the Eutaw Bank for about
twenty years. Deceased was grandson of the

residence, 1910 Walnut street, Philadelphia. He
left the bulk of his possessions to be equally divid-
ed among his children-four sons and four daugh-
tiers. The sons and one daughter are his execu-
tors. In addition to numerous requests to rela-
tives and friends, $4,000 is bequeathed in trust
to the Church of St. James the Less, at the Falls
of Schuylkill. The interest on $4,000 is left
for the maintenance of choir at ST. Marks
Church. Moro and Frederick Phillips are trus-
tees for the daughters portions. Owing to the
complicated state of the deceased's affairs, it
found necessary to open his will before the funer
al, in order to find out who were appointed to
take charge of his business. This was done on
Monday by legal adviser, who divulged nothing
further than the names of Mr.. Phillips executors
Mr.. Phillips left fortune estimated to reach into
