will soon be commenced by the County Com

"a patent attachment for plows is COM
ing into use in this county whereby the plow-
man does not have to touch the handles, but
iauntilv walks along on the solid ground and
sees the thing do its work 1t is said to be a
great success and one of the finest things about
it is it lightens the draft of the team about
one-third.
pit is said that several men in the 9th dis
trict who will seek Democratic nominations in
this county year hence have already formed
a combination for primary purposes and are
industriously setting the pegs for the lively
contest that is sure to come. 1t is far too early
yet to even make prediction about what the
outcome will be.
->B. Frank Deets, of Jarretsville, while re-
turning with his team from delivering load of
wheat to White Hall, N. G. r. R., accidentally
fell from the wagon, one of the wheels of

1.-THE Baltimore SUMS Texas COW story,
reproduced in THE UNION last week, has had
a sudden ending This amphibious creature,
that is said to have jumped into quarry holes
with many feet of water in them and swan
around like fish, has been killed-because
she knew too much, no doubt. 1t is said they
will convert her body into dried beef and use
it for food for mermaids.
1.-The new school building at Dickeyville,

When the open season for rabbits COM
menced in Baltimore county two Towson
sportsmen went into a section where they
thought rabbits would be plentiful and they
were not disappointed. They got up about
forty and killed sixteen. One day last week
they hunted the same ground and saw five
rabbits. This shows what hot times there
have been lately for the Dummies.
- This week will mark the closing of
many Baltimore county homes that have
occupants are off to the city for the winter
months. They like the country and are 10th
to give it up until after Thanksgiving day.
This fall has been such an unusually mild one
that the country retained many of its natural
beauties very much later than usual.
THE damage case of Thomas and Hannah
H. Bull against the Roland Park Company,
which had been on trial here about ten days,
ended on Monday in disagreement of the
jury, which stood, it has been learned, seven
for the plaintiffs and five for the defendant.
Messrs Boarman q Lindsay were counsel for
the Bulls, and Messrs. Steele, Semmes, Carey
& Bond and Mr.. Osborne l. Yellott represented
the company.
There are an unusually large number of
sales of farm stock and implements in Balti-
more county this fall and by far the larger
part of them are advertised in THE UNION.
People are sensibly coming to the conclusion
that if they want to have successful sale the
only way to do it is by advertising in the
columns of widely circulated newspaper.
To advertise by posters only is not the up-to-
date way of informing the public what you in
tend to do.
"a highly esteemed member of the Over
land Hunt Club had rather q strenuous ex-
perience with a new horse last Sunday. He
started out to give the beast trial and what it
did to him, in common parlance, was plenty.
After putting him on the ground time or two,
then chasing under the low limbs of a tree
with him, the horse, as the rider expressed it,
actually ran away with himself and jumped
into ditch" The language that was used
about that time was ornate, but hardly fit for
publication.
Two petitions from many residents of
Glyndon and vicinity were presented to the
County Commissioners on Tuesday one asking
that the Board require the Western Mary land
r. r. Company to place fiagmen at two of its
crossings in that village, and the other declar-
ing that fiagmen were unnecessary because of
the present arrangement of electric alarm bells
at the crossings. The Board decided to post
pone the matter for two weeks. Messrs. r. E.
Lee Marshall and Jefferson ID. Norris represen-
ted the company.
An Interesting Point Regarding Rail-
way Transfers.-In the suit of Robert NJ.
Garrison vs. the United Railways and Electric
Company in the Baltimore City Court Judge
Harlan made a ruling upon transfers which is
of interest to the public generally.
Mr.. Garrison testlhed that on April D, 1911,
he boarded a car at 3.45 P. NJ. and the con-
ductor gave him a transfer punched $50; that
he waited at Lombard and Gilmor streets for
10 or Is minutes for car and took the first
that came that when he presented the trans
fer it was after O'Clock. The transfer read
that it would mot be good after the hour
punched in the margin" and had therefore ex-
PRED.
Judge Harlan assumed for the argument
that Mr.. Garrison's evidence was true and held
that inasmuch as the transfer was bad on its
face the conductor had the right to eject the
passenger if he refused to pay fare or get off,
even though thetransfer was wrongly punched
by the first conductor and he had taken the
first car passing.
The reasons offered in argument by the
counsel for the railway company for this ruling
were that so far as the second conductor was
concerned the transfer was bad upon its face
aud that the conductor was not obliged to take
the word of the passenger that he had taken
the first car available; that the passenger had
an opportunity to examine the transfer TO see
if it was correctly punched; that in this case
the rights Of the passenger were in conflict
with those of the company, and that il was
the duty Of the passenger to yield and pay his
cents; that any other ruling would open the
way 10 continuous frauds by those who would
not hesitate to make n misstatement to a con-
