phone Company of Carroll county, the Hag.

The directors of the Western Maryland
Telephone Company of Carroll on Wednes-
day met in this city and passed resolution
in favor of the merger with the other Merry,
land systems, and the action was later ratlfled
by the stockholders.
When the union is effected and the Cum

pany will be very strong one.
The lines in Westminster have been placed
in frst-class condition, and the Baltimore SER
vice is most excellent.

charged with shooting TWO Men.

Frank Dees, the negro who was taken to
the Johns Hopkins Hospital several weeks
ago in serious danger from pistol wounds re.
ceived in brawl at Sykesville, was brought
to Jail here Wednesday. When received at
the Hospital he told sad story of his assault
by two other colored men, which does not
seem, in the light of later information, to have
been altogether correct. Justice Branden-
burg, of Sykesville, issued two warrants for
the negro's arrest. Dees is wanted in Sykes
vile for shooting two other persons IN the
brawl in which he himself was shot. One of
these was bystander, altogether unconeerned
in the affair.
1t was expected that Dees would have been
taken 10 Sykesville on Wednesday for hear
ing, and States Attorney Weant was present,
with Deputy Sheriff Motter, expecting to have
hearing before Justice Brandenburg, but by
some misunderstanding Dees was brought to
Westminster He will have hearing in a
few days.

there is frequent interchange of
amenities between the hostile parties,
for the Yaquis must fight those who
were their neighbors when they were
formers who are their enemies now
they are become guerrillas. Arms and
ammunition are what the Yaquis most
need. Guards american and Mexican)
patrol the border to prevent the i'm
portation of firearms by the Indians,
but in spite of their vigilance sup
plies are struggled in. And the
Yaquis, who ordinarily do not seem
to modest any but organized troops,
will kill anyone they find carrying a
gun, for the sake of getting possession
of this weapon.
Anyone from the United States is
safe with them-provided, of course,
they wait long enough FOR him to
establish his nationality. Most savage
of any of the Mexican Indians, with a
talent for warfare that has enabled
them to carry the struggle to the
very gates of the important city of
Guaymas, the Yaquis are succeeding
in keeping the Mexican government
busy, and probably will continue to
do so for some time to CONES San"

FROM THE ARIZONA KICKER.

In communication to this paper
two weeks ago Judge Gildersleeve
spelled happy with only one "p,"
and we took the liberty of adding
another. He now announces that he
won't be ''hapy' until he has a shot
at us, and we suppose we shall have
to give him an opportunity 1t is
rather a bore, though, and there are
times when we are inclined to let a
haif-breed Indian run away with our
dictionary and boil it down for soup.
We are told that no eastern editor
eccepts railroad pass for fear of be-
ing biased in favor of the corpora
ton. We can't understand it. We
have three annual passes and we like
nothing better than to hold railroad
president up by the neck and give him
shake. Perhaps it is the difference
in the climate.
1t is now three weeks or more
since any one pulled a gun and tried
to shoot the hands off the postoffice
clock, and We are living in hopes that
the reform will last several months
prise party, however, and shah shoot
as straight in return as we know
how.
1t has now been definitely ascer-
tanned that the man who was lynched
at Blue Grass Valley last March was
William Scott, of Iowa, who had
come out here to seek his fortune and
gobbled horse as a beginning. 1t is
well enough that William should have
been identified, but we can't see how
it is going to help his case any.

FIRST UNIvERSALIST SERMON
IN MAINE

About the year 1900 joseph
Mcclellan, of Gray, invited Uni
versalist preacher to come to his
home and deliver a sermon, says S.
p. Mayberry in the Portland Argus
In due time, on horseback, with
saddle bags containing a Bible and
hymn book and change of raiment,
he arrived in Gray. The meeting
was notified to be held in a le,
school house, near what was after
ward known as Mayalls Wooden Fac
tory The household Bible of Mr..
Mcclellan was of larger and palmer
print than the one owned by the
preacher, and from this the text
was selected and used as a refer
ence at the meeting. The Bible is
now in the possession of T. E.
Mcclellan, of Brunswick. This was
the first Universalist sermon deliv-
cred in the district of Maine, now the
State Of Maine. Mr. Nee. was a be-
lever in Universal doctrine and
Eliphas Phillips, another nearer, was
known as a disciple of Christ. The
faith was scattered. 1t took with
the people and the result was that it
has it's stronghold in that town.
We have a drawing of the school
house and Mr.. T. Mcclellan, who has
reached the age of SO years, can
point out the location of the school
house.
