STRANGE ADVENTURE.
William Kasely, of Near Warwick,
Meets Tricky Men In His Travels

William kasely, farm hand employed by
James s. Merritt, of Warwick, ran among a
strange set of men in the course of his travels,
near Baltimore, one night last week. Kasely
tells this story: He was driving from Wash
ington, and when night came was near Bal
timore.
He applied at Il farmhouse for shelter for
himself and team, and was taken in by the
people, who then accused him of being a
horse thief.
The team was taken from him and locked
up, and the people gave Kasely 50 and q
scrap of paper bearing what they claimed
was the signature Of the sheriff of the county
Kasely reached Warwick, on Friday and
related his experiences to Mr.. Merritt and
the latter Immediately went to Baltimore to
investigate the proceedings The sheriff was
found but had no knowledge of the affair.
Mr.. Merritt also succeeded in locating the
horse and buggy, and in cornerng the man
who played the ''sheriff act on Kasely. That
individual was much confused upon being
confronted and could make no explanation of
mis- attempted making away with the team,
and it is very likely that he will be prose-
cuted to the fullest extent of the law. kasey
bears a good reputation at home, and his
friends are willing to back him in invoking
the aid OF the law.

the conclusion that wife is an expensive
luxury for poor man. Iu reaching this
conclusion, however, he was assisted by the
forcible logic of Magistrate Groves. The
owner OF the popular name on Monday last
was brought up with sharp turn by his
wife for drunkenness and non-support. He
admitted that he was not ablo to crafty his
tastes for strong drink and keep wife at the
same time, but upon promising to pay his
wife 50 per week was discharged.
Acting on the adage that every dog has
his day Edward McCabe and Benjamin
Garrett, both colored, agreed to celebrate
Sunday in their own peculiar way. The cele
bration took On another aspect the next day
when Magistrate Groves decided that they
had enough fun for each to donate 81 and
costs toward running the local government.
