BOUNDARY LINE WORRY.
Voters ia sIIeaany Object to Becom.
in. Citizens OF Garrett.

ing tliIZeUS OF Jarrett.
Oakland, Nd, Jan. 14.-It seems that
the GARRETT -Allegany boundary line. as es-
tabished by the recent survey, has
changed what was originally accepted as
the lire so much that quite a number of
persons in the disputed section who have
been voting and paying taxes in Allegany
County have been moved into Garrett
County. These people claim that they find
II as unpleasant as inconvenient to trans
act their legal business in Garrett Coun-
ty, and moreover they feel that some in
justice has been done them. They also
do not think il is right that their resi-
dences and farms should be moved into
another county without first being con
suited. and have appealed to the commits
sioners of Allegany County, and the board
will consult their attorney TO see if there
is not some way by which this apparent
injustice to those living along the border
of the county may be avoided. part of
the legal fraternity have intimated that
the matter is long way from final settle
ment. and any action on the part of the
Allegany authorities, Of course, will bring
forth protest from the people of Gar
rett who are content to let the line stand
as it is now located, from the fact that
il brings into Garrett County large guam
tity of assessable property, which will
tend 10 decrease the rate of taxation very
materially. The matter may have TO be
finally settled in the courts.

TALES OF ADVENTURE
TOLD BY A WHEELMAN
RODE ACROSS THE CONTINENT
Harry LeO's Exciting Experiences.
Killed a Lion. Was Robbed and
Had His Toes Frozen.

New York Jan. 14.--Harry Leo, a brawny
cyclist of Sioux Falls, S. D., pedaled into
the city yesterday morning with wondrous
tales of transcontinental trip, in which he
claimed to have smashed all kinds of rec
ords. Leo sat on a counter in downtown
bicycle salesroom yesterday afternoon and
retailed to an odd group of listeners his
varied experience in ride from New York
city to San Francisco and back again.
Those experiences run all the way from
killing rattlesnakes to a desperate tussle
with mountain lion, in which the latter
was finally conquered, and all the way from
existing eight days and nights in sand
desert on alkali water and food tablets to
freezing two toes on that part of the trip
between Utica and New York. most
versatile young man iS Mr. Leo, OF Sioux
Falls, as those who heard his marvellous
tale of adventures soon knew.
Not the least interesting part of his tale
was of holdup by five highwaymen on a
lonely trail near Ogden, Utah. The men
had pounced upon the wandering cyclist
from behind a place of concealment, and
after partially wrecking his wheel stripped
him of his medals and appropriated $45 in
cash.
Then" said Leo, ''they fell upon me and
beat me. They broke my collar bone and
they broke my nose. They knocked three
OF my teeth out, as you can see, and they
left me lying black and blue and nsensble
at the side of the road
Leo's trip began at the City Hall in New
York On June l, 1898. Riding by way OF
Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago,
Omaha, Denver. Ogden, Oakland and San
! Jose he reached San Francisco on Septem-

I completion of the first century run of the
/ year, riding 100 miles into Utica on jan
/ uary |.
The journey from Utica to New York
city occupied twelve days, three heavy
/ snowstorms and zero weather having beer
( encountered en- route. Leo says he cross
ed the Hudson River on the ice from
! Kingston to Rhinebeck and rode eighty
eight miles through snow and slush OF
Thursday He described the last stage o
his journey as being the hardest of any.
Leo afirms that he left New York with
out money and made his expenses by lee
turing en- route. He carries statement
signed by postmasters of various towns
and cities vGuching for the authenticit.
of his ride. Throughout the trip he rod

New York. Jan. 14.-Trouble has arisen
between the American Baptist Home Mis-
sion Society. with headquarters in this
city. and the American Baptist Publica-
ton Society. having headquarters in Phil
adelDhia and a branch Office in this city.
and both representing the Baptists of the
North. each asserting that the other is
trespassing on its field.
The new work in Cuba is in & measure
drawn into it, The Home Mission Society
al a meeting this week, appointed a com
mittee of conference, but predictions are
| freely made that the trouble has passed the
! conference stage, and that general Bap-
tist conference will have to be called to
settle it.
| The Publication Society. nine years ago,
began sending out chapel cars. which the
| Home Mission Society claims is a clear
! violation of its original purpose. II later
! sent DR.. Daz to Mexico. against the pro
| test of the Home Mission Society,". The
! charge is made that the chapel cars start
! churches along the line of Western rail-
roads. go away and leave them either TO
| die or TO appeal to the Home Mission So
| ciety for assistance.
| The tilt was precipitated by the Rev.
! Dr. Horr, of Boston, who in a recent ad-
| dress inquired if it were not about time
the Publication Society ceased to trespass
! upon the domain of another society and
! stuck TO its original purpose.
| The trouble arises over the fact that both
societies appeal TO the same churches fOI
| support for the same work. The two clash
at times. Leading men in the Baptist de-
| nomination cannot see the wisdom of hay-
ing two societies to do one line of work
