SHOOTING ARRAY.
SdOOI1NT AfIhAA.
Three Shots Fired without Serious Results

A shooting ARRAY occurred at Mechanics
Vile, in Wooery's district, about nine miles
from Westminster, between II and O'Clock
last Sunday afternoon.
The parties to the ARRAY were Rein B. f.
Warehime and Thomas Caltrider. The
former was once large farmer and the latter
is shoemaker Mr.. Caltrider and his wife
have not lived together for some time, she
and her two sons residing together and Calf
rider living at his shop. Mr.. Caltrlder IS
said to be Jealous of his wife, and there had not
been very good feeling on his part toward Mr..
Warehime. On that very day he warned Mr..
Warehime not to go to his wife's house. Mr..
Warehime went, however, to get shaved, so
it is said. As he came out Mr.. Caltrider at
tackled him with stones, one striking him on
the hand. Mr.. Warehime drew his revolver,
small one, and fred upon his assailant.
Mr.. Caltrider kept advancing upon him, and
Mr.. Warehime continued to fire, the last shot
being discharged when the men were but two
or three feet apart. Mr. Caltrider then seized
Mr.. Warehime and threw him down. and was
proceeding to beat him, when Mr. Warehime
hit him with the pistol and stunned him, and
then released himself.
All three balls struck Mr.. Caltrider. One
in the arm and one in the stomach, did not
enter the flesh The third ball struck the
breast bone and DETECTED and passed between
the ribs. This is really the only wound of
consequence, and at hearing on Monday
evening DIR. Silas Gorsuch, Mr.. Caltrider's
physician, said it was not necessarily fatal,
and that the wounded man had hundred
chances to recover against one not to.
A warrant was issued for Mr.. Warehlme,
but before it was served he started for West
minister and gave himself up to Sheriff Lynch
At n hearing on Monday afternoon before
Justice G. W. Crapster, Dr. Gorsuch gave
the opinion as to the wounds, as above stated,
and Mr.. Warehime was bailed in the sum of
$500 for the next grand jury, Messrs. Samuel
Cover and G. Frank Beaver becoming his
sureties. Mr.. Warehime was then arrested
for carrying concealed weapons, and gave
security again.

Thanksgiving was duly observed here with
services in a few churches. The stores were
closed, and nothing made it seem like week
day except the shrill whistle of the Frick
Company.
The Frick Company is so rushed with or
ders that they did not see fit to keep it as a
legal holiday and are now working from A.
NJ. until I. P. NJ, and have also been increas-
ing the number of their hands. The coming
season promises to be a more successful one
than the last, and the whole town in general,
that has been laying dead in manner for the
past two years, is slowly but surely regaining
her former activity, and ere another year rolls
round she will be one of the best business
towns in the valley. The Geiser Company
has raised the wages of their employees.
A few days ago a surgical operation was
performed upon Mr.. Wilson, of this place,
by the opening and removal of piece of his
skull by Drs Joe Frontz and his father.
While working at the Frick Company's shops
about the cars, he had an occasion to raise
from stopping position very suddenly, and
struck his head against bolt in the car, which
it is supposed cracked his skull, but never
gave him much trouble until short time ago
when it began to make him uneasy, so he had
it examined and it was found the piece was
loose and in danger ofinjuring the brain, which
was exposed after having piece remover
about the size of half dollar. Mr.. Wilson
at this writing is in a dangerous condition,
though is doing as well as can be expected.
Joseph Harris, formerly of Carroll county,
Md, and later of this place, has bid his bach
elor friends adieu and entered the glorious
state of matrimony, the bride being Miss
Hobbs, of Baltimore.
The United Brethren congregation of this
place will hold a revival meeting, commenc-
ing Sunday night next.

fully in commencing the Architect, Mr..

ed scribe touches on the fish question, we re-
specially bare our heads and wait for further
developments. His early experience in the
piscatorial line is plainly shown and the inno-
cent and guileless manner in which he men
tons the carp 243 feet long, is revelation to
ordinary individuals. Lastly he says ''if any
one can beat this story and tell the truth let
them come" We echo this last remark and
if any one is found who can beat it he will be
entitled to the belt.
