Was 1t ApDODlexy?

Since the death of August Falin-
ger, an account of which appeared in
these columns last week, an investi-
CATION has been set on foot by some
of his friends in an endeavor to ascer-
tain the true cause of his untimely
end with the result that a few days
previous to his death he was at
Petersburg, Pa, a small town just
over the line in our neighboring State
on the north, and while there he fell
in with some friends who INDUCED
too deeply in the flowing bowl. In
that condition free fight was indul-
ged in which went rather hard with
the Marylander, he receiving several
blows about the head and face which
is believed by his friends to be the
direct cause of his death. The inves-
tigation has not yet been concluded
and what the outcome may be we are
unable to state.

A BLOoDLEss BATTLE.
Oakland Visited by Band of Robber
Who Did Not Hesitate to Shoot

Oakland Visited by Band of Robbers
Who Did Not Hesitate to Shoot.
Early Saturday morning as Night
Waterman Hessen was making his
usual rounds he saw two men stand
ing in front of NJ. Boyle's saloon on
Oak street. He approached them
when they moved away increasing
their speed at every step. The police
man moved after the retreating fig
ures pretty rapidly and when in front
of Mrs. Vests hotel one of the men
turned and fired at him. Almost i'm
mediately another man approached
from the rear and passing Hessen
fired ball at him from a revolver.
These shots were returned and for
few minutes lead was falling in all
directions. BY this time the robbers
broke and ran pursued by the officer
who lost track of them along Second
street. Later it was ascertained that
the saloon of NJ. Boyle had been en-
tered and a number of bottles of
whiskey stolen. This was recovered,
it being found strewn along the route
the robbers took in escaping from the
officer.
Who the robbers were or where
they hailed from cannot be learned
as there is absolutely no clue to their
identity.

Yesterday Mrs. Mary J. Raymond,
of Mountain Lake Park, appeared
before a jury of twelve men who had
previously been summoned for the
purpose of inquiring into the condi-
ton of her mind, equity proceedings
having been instituted in the Circuit
Court for this county praying for
hearing to determine her sanity.
The bill was filed by Mr. Gilmor S.
Hamill, who appeared as attorney for
Messrs. l.. A. Rudisill and James A.
Hayden, the compliments. The bill
alleged that Mrs. Raymond was of
unsound mind, was not competent to
care for her property and was luna
tic without lucid interval In court
Mrs. Raymond conducted her own
case and the manner in which she
handled a number of the witnesses
who appeared and gave evidence
against her was enough in itself to
convince the jury that she was of
sound mind.
About ten witnesses, including Drs.
Ravenscraft and W. H. McComas,
were examined. The expert testi-
mony was given by the physicians
above named. The hearing consumed
nearly the entire day and was closed
about four o'clock when the jury
retired and brought in verdict a
short time thereafter, which, in effect.
was that she was perfectly competent
to conduct her business affairs and
that she was not a lunatic.
The jury was composed of Col. A.
g. Sturgiss, foreman, John w. Hart.

Samuel Lawton, Andrew Nelson,
George L. Bosley, John O. Michael,

holders coat was found "a newspaper
clipping showing that he was at one
time an employee of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad Company in the capa-
city of a freight brakeman on the
Parkersburg Branch. The clipping
gave an account of an accident in
which Householder lost his left leg
while coupling cars on his train at
Pennington, a few miles south of
Grafton. From appearances he was
forty years old. Both men were seen
in Oakland soliciting aims. They
were given lodging in the lookup
