False Statements.

The Cecil County Agricultural Society
having decided not to give up pool sell
ing on the race grounds at the Fair next
week the w. G. T. U. has given up the
dining room privilege purchased some
ago. The influence of the ladies of the
w. G. T. U. will therefore be against the
Oxford Press.
The above false statements of the Press
are calculated to injure the Fair. We
take pleasure therefore in correcting
them.
The pool selling privilege has not been
sold by the Fair Managers.
The w. G. T. U. has not given up the
dining room privilege but the ladies are
already making preparations for conduct
ing the same.
The influence of the ladies of the W.
9. L. U. will not be against the Fair but
in favor of it. They want all their friends
to attend and patronize the dining room

ject Is treated in mastery and comprehen-

attracting the attention of the people of the

the Eastern Shore was unhealthy, which

without truth. If any person still believes
the idle report DE-. Chancellor's book will
soon convince him of the contrary. In ad-

Sensational Developments.
The Remains Believed TO Be Those OF
Man Named Valentine. Who
MysteriousIy Disappeared,
suspicion Pointing strongly 10 stew
stoner, who Fled an. Country After
Numbering an Employe.

GREAT FALLS, April 20.-lSpecial to
the Independent l-Councilma Jerry Col
lins, who has returned from n journalistic
trip TO Kibbey, describes the clew which
he and others found 10 q crime committed
four years ago. Mr.. Collins says that upon
reaching kibbey he learned from Judge
Larkin that human skeleton had been
found day or two before near the steep
grade on the Kibbey and McCar-
thy road. about seven miles from
the former place. The party pro-
ceeded TO the place and found the
skeleton near by and some clothing, which
proved on investigation 10 have been can
vas coat with flannel lining. They nat
nrally sought n solution Of the mysterious
find and received one from Judge LarkiD,
an old timer and trustworthy man. He
said he had lived In that section for nine
years and knew Of no case OF mysterious
disappearance, so that he had but
ouA theory TO offer. Some four
years or SO ago Steve Stoner, q
Highwood ranchman, murdered q man he
had employed simply TO avoid paying him
the wages due. When circumstances be-
gan 10 point to Stoner's guilt he fed the
country and has not since been heard from.
II was then remembered TINT man named
Valentine, who had worked for Stoner
nearly two years, had suddenly disap-
peared sometime before. The belief then
became general In the neigborhood that he,
too, had been murdered by Stoner. Val
entine could get no money from
his employer and he decided TO 70 TO Bar
ker and work few months until
Stoner WAS ready to pay him. Some one
went with Valentine part OF the way on
this trip, and, as the story goes, that was
the last ever seen of Valentine. Now, the
place where the skeleton was discovered IL
on the direct route from Highw wood 10 Bar
ker, and 1t is not only possible but highly
probable that the skeleton was that OF
Stoner's first victim. The place was
6t for the commission OF such q
deed. No one then lived within
six miles Of the place and the murderer
would have been protected from possible
view by the clumps Of scrubby pine sur
rounding. The loneliness of the place is
well shown by the fact that the remains
were not found until thus late date. There
Is certainly fair reason to believe that Val
entine, the first victim OF the fiend Stoner
died on that BLEAK mountain side.
