Runaway.

What might have been serious acct
dent occurred at Bunker Hill Tuesday
A horse driven by Mr.. Gray
Silvers hitched to stick wagon, at the
discharge of a blast, started to run away
throwing Mr.. Silvers out. 1t ran toward
Mr.. w. II. Wright who was standing
close by who, not being able to get out
of the way, was caught between the shaft
and horse. His presence of mind saved
him from being fatally injured Catching
the horse by the bride he held on until he
ran into Mr.. Geo Pitzer's wood prle which
released Mr.. Wright from his perilous
position.
The horse continued on his mad fight
passing through Mr.. Pitzer's yard gate
where it left the wagon and running
through his kitchen il was finally caught
in his front yard. Mr.. Wright's escape
from serious injury was indeed a miracle.
Fortunately with the exception Of a badly
broken wagon and harness no other dam
age resulted.

Supreme Court to Decide.

The old suit of the State Of Maryland
against the State of Pennsylvania will
soon 'De submitted to the Supreme Court,
the question at issue being the boundary
line between the two States. Maryland
has always had trouble about its bounda-
ries, at one time claiming that Philadel-
phia was within its borders.
The State also battled with Virginia for
nearly century regarding its boundary
lines, the dispute only being settled by the
Supreme Court a few years ago, in which
the jurisdiction Of Maryland over the Po-
tomac and Pocomoke Sound was denied.
The suit with West Virginia formerly
belonged to Virginia, and it is to decide
the exact location of the fountains or
sources of the Potomac. II the claim of
Maryland is upheld. more than forty
square miles now recognized as part of
West Virginia will be added to her terri
tory.

Tuesday was the second night OF The
German Volunteer. the local talent play
given for the benefit Of the Martinsburg
City Band. The play was ren-
dersd almost twice as well as The night be-
fore. The actors all had their parts down
fine and put that sentiment and reality in
10 the play which made il interesting all
the way through.
The audience Tuesday was not as large
as the night before and it was rot the
crowd that should have attended. The
play was not big money making scheme
of MIR Harveys; ii was for the benefit Of a
local organization. the City Bard. and if
the crowd had attended the play that new
er fails to attend the Friday night con-
cert, there would not have been a kick
coming. Everything came out on top,
however. and Mr.. Harry and the band are
very well pleased with the results.
Mr.. Harvey was well pleased with the
cast and says he wants 10 return here
again in the near future and use the same
cast for another play
The costumes. and makeup OF the
actors both nights was one of the pleasing
features of the play. They were made
up "our Of sight. Altogether the play
was a success and it is the opinion of al
most everyone that attended, that il is the
best play that has ever been rendered by
home ia ent in this city.
Ii was awarm night and a much lar
ger attendance could hardly have beenex-
pected. But the audience did not appear
TO know il was warm until they were in
formed of the fact Everyone was sitting
still and there was hardly fan in the air
when Mr.. Harvey was making the an
nouncement. About the middle of the
announcement he said it was warm and a
much larger audience could not have been
expected. Hats and fans filled the air
and everyone began tanning necessarily,
as il they did not know it was warm I'M
|Atil they were informed.
