County Policeman Gets a Big Send Off

County Policeman Gets a Big Send Off.
The Baltimore NewS of Wednesday said !:
''All Baltimoreans, but especially those subur-
banites who lave been kept in state of unen-
viable disquietude during the past few weeks
by reason of nocturnal visitors, will unite in
paean OF hearty thanksgiving to Officer James
r. Mann, of the Baltimore county police force,
for his behavior in aims house woods yester-
day. To engage singh handed, at close range,
with half dozen desperate men-they with
drawn revolvers and he with the less wieldy
shotgun as an available weapon-in the heart
of thick wood, where no help could reach
him readily, is anything but commonplace
feat, even in these days of the romantic drama.
Whether or not these outlaws are the persis-
tent burglars for whom the Baltimore police
officials are searching, their actions, at any
rate, proved them to be dangerous men. When,
with weapons pointed at his face, they told the
officer to git the most natural thing to do
-uas tn soit - If he bod -~eed -s--~s- g. ~--:--
lance, no one would have said otherwise than
But officer Mann showed that he is made of
'sterner stuff Occupying close point of
vantage, he discharged both barrels of his shot
gun, with most excellent aim, and then,
though the bullets of his antagonists whistled
around him. he used his own revolver with
such effect as to put the whole gang to flight
and to capture one man who fingered. This
would have been a satisfactory days work for
the ordinary policeman; but Officer Mann,
after sending his capture to the Canton Station,
started out on the search again, and pretty
soon came up with one of the crowd, who bore
on his body evidences of the officers good
craftsmanship under stress. This man he
also arrested. As an example of pure nerve
this exploit of county policeman is one not
often equaed, and it is pleasure to pay tri-
butte to it."

A Nice Point for Sportsmen to Con-
sider.-A letter from Havrede-Gr to the
Baltimore Sun says: capt. Harry 0. Moore
was before Justice Fahey today on a charge
preferred by Clarence Dolan, of Philadelphia,
for shooting in the marshes at Spesutia Island.
Captain Moore twice visited the marshes re-
Gently, accompanied by some Baltimore sports
men, and one of them was mentioned in the
warrant as sworn out.
THE Captain waived a hearing, and no
bond was required of him. Mr.. Dolan rents
the shooting privileges of the lower island
farm, which were formerly leased by Messrs.
Gilbert and Mitchell, of Baltimore.
a"He has seemingly been under the impress
sion that he fully controls the marshes as well
as the shore. In fact this is very prevalent
opinion, as many persons have the marshes
postedto prohibit rail and reed bird shooting
It is stated to be fact, however, that any
resident may go over the marshes where his
boat will float and shoot all he pleases, so
long ss he keeps afoat he trespasses on no one.
This was the case with Captain Moore"

A FORMER Baltimore minister Rev. DR..
Richard Harcourt now pastor of the Peoples
Methodist Church in Reading, Pa, suggests
summary way of ending the coal strike. In
a newspaper interview on Tuesday he is re-
ported to have said Something desperate
will have to be done. Why not hang few
coal barons? That would settle things.
When lived in California and we had similar
trouble, vigilance committee was organized
and those who made trouble were strung up to
lamp-posts. Some members of my church
were on the committee"

Says Stone Must Not be Removed
This week Mr.. Harrison Rider notified the
County Commissioners that they would not be
permitted to remove any stone from Shaft No.
8, on Baltimore city's conduit, which is located
on the Hillen farm, 9th district. Mr.. Rider
recently acquired this property and he found
the stone on it. The Commissioners some
time since bought the stone from Messrs.
Ensor and Douglass, upon an understanding,
it is alleged, that they had certain limited
period within which to remove it. Mr.. Rider
appears to take the position that the stone is
on his land which he bought without notice
it therefrom without his consent and this he
has declined to give so far. Should his posi-
ton be we'll taken the Commissioners will. in
all probability, be out of pocket in their effort
to economic on the purchase of stone in the
9th district. as they depended, in measure,
on this to supply them. Mr.. Rider. however,
seemed willing to settle the matter so as to &C.
commodate the Board as far as possible.

Rural Free Delivery Boxes.-First Assist
ant Postmaster General Wynne has issued
circular letter to the postmasters of all rural
free delivery postoffices instructing them that
postmasters and rural free delivery carriers are
not permitted to condemn the letter-boxes used
by patrons. The order directs that they shall
continue to serve boxes already erected until
Irregular inspection of such boxes can be made
by the route inspectors and special agents,
who will condemn the boxes found unsafe, or
which otherwise fail to meet the requirements.
The entire force of rural free delivery inspec-
ors is now investigating petitions for such
service, and these box inspections probably
cannot be made for month or two.

Another Projected Railway.-The High
landtown Sentinel of last week said "Consid-
cradle interest has been aroused of late
amongst property owners of Back River Neck
over the rumor that the United Railways Com
pany proposes to construct branch electric
railway to connect the present Middle River
line with Miller's Island. 1t is asserted that
the company proposes to establish on Miller's
Island. or on the mainland adjoining, pleas
ure resort rivaling that of Coney Island in
New York.
THE rumor is borne out by the fact that the
Railway Company has recently been making
preliminary surveys of the proposed route,
and that an option has already been secured
upon valuable bay front properties in the vi
cinity of the mouth of Back river. Which
side of the river the railway will traverse has
not vet been made public.
THE trip to the mouth of Back river from
Baltimore would be about fifteen or sixteen
miles, over one of the finest routes for scenery
in the State. The best location for pleasure
resort is said to be on the north shore, as a
huge swamp lies at the mouth of the river on
the south shore. Should the alleged project of
the railway officials be carried into effect, it
will open up one of the best located sections of
Baltimore county for pleasure resorts and coun-
try residences, and would enhance property
values along the river double what they are at
present.
