of the local option law, four for larceny,
three for carrying concealed weapons, one

and one for wife. beating

ton. 1t is kept in a cleanly condition, is

Death OF Capt. Edward w. owen


Captain Edward W. Owen, the Oldest resi-.
dent Of Olney district, died Friday, after a
short illness, nearly eighty.seven years Of
age. He was born May 6, 1903. His father,
Col. Washington Owen, was with General
Winder at Bladensburg, and his grandfather,
Mr.. Robert Owen, was one Of the many Pc
titioners who applied to Governor Sharpe
for the first "Chapel OF Ease" in this section
of Montgomery county, near where the
present Chapel of st. Luke now stands
Captain Owen married Miss Elizabeth Ann
Claggett, daughter of Mr.. Nathaniel Clag-
gett, who died In 1887. Her mother sur.
vived her five years, dying at the advanced
age of one hundred and two years. The
old homestead of Colonel Owen is Locust
HILL" near the Washington turnpike, at
Oakdale. Captain Owen had two brothers,
Thomas Owen and Washington Winder
Owen, and one sister. Captain Owen was
a member of the Board of Commissioners
for Montgomery county. He was judge
Of the Orphans Court for sixteen years was
magistrate when it was customary to hold

ney general, and only candidate for Presi
dent under the anti Mason party, the Hon
William Writ, of Bladensburg, made his
eloquent speech before Chief Justice fancy
and he heard many of Henry Clay's best
efforts in the United States Senate. He was
quite boy when President Madison made
his celebrated retreat to that place, but he
remembered distinctly the remarkable recep-
ton, and told with exactness every detail
of his early life. Until shut in by the in
clemency of this lingering winter he was
accustomed to ride daily to the village for
his mail. Captain Owen leaves one daugh-
ter, Mrs Gust. Dorsey, whose husbands
name is household word to many Mary
landers.

In Memory of Capt. E. w. Owen

In the late winter OF the year and the late
winter OF his life, another old Roman, wOr.
thy OF his laurel wreath, has laid aside his
toga for rest A land mark covering four.
score years of usefulness has been obiter
ated; genial link that has bound us 10 the
good old days that are no more, has been
broken; a teacher of history has passed into
history, and |, who have sat 1T his eet, o
student OF that history, beg to offer this
tribute to his memory
1t was his aim,
80 to live that when the sun
Of his existence sank in night,
Memorials sweet of mercies done
Might shrine his name In memory's light,
And the best seeds he scattered bloom
A hundred fold in days to come"
Those who stood around his bier on Sat.
urday last realized that this hope had bios
somed into irution. Into that little Gene.
terry, which holds the companions OF his
youth, loving ones committed his body, but
his wel-Spent lie is an inheritance. 10 the
young men oil his county IL points 10 pub
lie record, faithful, patriotic, sDotless. With
an earnest devotion to the cause of human
advancement, having done what he could,
keeping ever II watcbinl interest in public
affairs, retiring to the comforts OF loving
home circle Wherein Il devoted daughter and
her husband were ever ready TO soothe his
declining years, he has awaited the mes
senger,
like one who wraps the drapery of his
couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams
"rhough time, who changes all had altered
him
In soul and aspect AS in years; though years
steal
Fire from the mind, as yigor from the limb;
And LIES enchanted cup bat sparkles near
the brim."
Yet for me, who had measured his worth

warm greeting, the same desire "a welcome
me back to his hospitable home, were as
genuine as OF old
Within the last six years have stood by
the open graves of three immediate neigh
bors whose intelligence, hospitality. public
records and educational field work had made
this vicinity leading centre OF advance
ment.
"Time rolls his ceaseleas course The race
Of yore,
Who told our marvefng boyhood legends

OF strange adventures by land and sea,
Why are they botted from the things that
be?
Because-Death is the crown of life
Were 1t denied, man would live in vain
Death wounds 10 cure we fall, we rise we

This king of terrors is the Prince Of Peace"

Decision Reverse

Decision Reversed-ln the Court of
Appeals of Maryland, on the Goth instant, q
number of decisions were handed down,
among them an opinion in the case of Il.
w. Cain VS., the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, in which the plaintiff was
awarded damages in the Circuit Court for
Howard county. He was one the parties
charged with disorderly conduct on train
between Washington Grove and Washing
ton, and for which he was arrested and i'm
prisoned in that city. The following is a
synopsis of the opinion;
Judgment reversed, with costs above and
below and new trial awarded, is the decision
in the case of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company vs. Richard w. Cain For
the error in rejecting the defendants second,
third, fourth, fifth and seventh prayers and
in granting the plaintiffs first instruction,
and for the error in refusing to submit the
third, fourth and fifth special interrogatories
to the jury, the court holds, in an opinion
filed by Judge McSherry, that a reversal of
the over court should be had. The action
was of trespass for false Imprisonment 1t
was alleged that the plaintiff was passen-
ger upon one of the cars of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, and that he had been as
saulted by officials of the railroad. The de.
PENDANT pleaded not guilty. During the
progress of the trial, which resulted in YER
dict and judgment for the plaintiff, four ex-
ceptions were reserved and the defendant
then took an appeal
"If ii be true that the plaintiff was guilty
OF the TepreheDsible and dsorderly conduct
attributed to him by the witnesses" says
Judge McSherry, in his opinion, che was in
contestabIy engaged in fragrant and an out
rageous breach of the peace, as pronounced
rs il there had been an ARRAY during the
whole time he was in the defendants car
and il was clearly lawful, under the condi-
tions, for the conductor to repeal him and
his drunken companions from the train if
he had u sufficient force to overcome their
threatened resistance, or else to arrest them
all without warrant and then deliver them
to the first peace officer he could procure
within reasonable time"
