o. j. Miller went to Chase station, Baltimore
county, on Monday evening, with the osten-
sble purpose of looking for Samuel Schotield,
the alleged sssailant Of Mrs. Goodwin, of Kent
county. The real object of their visit was to
eudeayor to catch several parties who were
said to be using big swivel guns at the mouth
of the Gunpowder and Middle Rivers, in viola
ton OF the game laws. Game Warden Smart
was told several weeks ago that Williams,
| man living at Hogg Point, on the Hartford
county side OF the Gunpowder River, about
mile and half below Gunpowder Bridge, had
one of the big guns in his possession, and was
creating havoc among the duck and geese in
the waters adjacent to Hogg Point. Detec-
lives Miller and Smart went before Magistrate
Joseph Z. o. Wetherill, at Magnolia, Hartford
county, Tuesday morning, and obtained
| search warrant for the mans house and prem
| ises. When the detectives reached the house
| they were met at the door by the wife. The
| officers read the search warrant to the woman,
| and eudeavored to enter the house. She at

men to get the woman from the door. The
gun was found In an addition to the main
house, back in corner and covered. After
getting poss ssion Of the gun the detectives
! asked her where her husband was. She re-
pIird that he was on a fishing trip down the
bay, and would not be home until "Wednesday
