Utermehle Will Case Goes
Over Again.

Justice Barnard on Tuesday
caused a surprise in the Probate
Court, Washington, ID. c.. by
announcing that the hearing of
the contest over the will Of fine
late George w. Utermehle, who
left property valued at more than
81 600, 600, is postponed until
March 10th. This action followed
a brief conference with the con
tending counsel and is said to be
due to the indisposition of the
attorneys. Justice Barnard, in
his rnling in connection with the
matters argued before him Tues
day as to which side should open
aud close the hearing, and
whether the issue of eStoppel
should be considered apart from
the issue involving alleged fraud
and undue influence, decided in
favor of Charles H. Utermehle,
the caveator. Mr.. Utermehle
was formerly a resident of this
city and at one time owned the
City Hotel. For several years he
has lived in Washington.

legany county was introduced in
the General Assembly in response
to the recommendation of the
grand jury and the Circuit Court
of Allegany. 1t provides for a
road engineer" and three road
directors" appointable by the
Governor, one of the directors to
be of the minority party. 1t is
hoped, says Mr.. Lewis, to save an
immense sum each year by this
act, which follows the law for
Baltimore county. Owners of
wagons with tires less than four
inches, hauling 5000 pounds, will
be subject to a fine of 50.
A law similar to this should be en-
acted for Frederick county. Ed
