Novel Way to Collect Taxes in Carroll
"A singular case has arisen in regard to the
powers and duties of tax collectors in Carroll
county, involving also a charge of larceny
against citizen of Woodberry-A. N. Ar
baugh. The facts are these: Mr.. Arhaugh
owns three or four acres of land in Hampstead
district, purchased year or two ago, upon
which the taxes have not been paid for several
years. John s. Stricklin, the tax collector of
the district, desired to avoid a resort to legal
process to enforce payment and concluded to
farm the land and appropriate the proceeds to
the liquidation of the tax bills. In pursuance
of this plan he sowed the land in buckwheat
last year and when the crop was harvested fol-
lowed it with rye. This was cut and shocked
during the recent harvest and made 600 bum
dies, but when Collector Stricklin went to haul
it away the whole of it had disappeared and
notice was posted, signed by Arbaugh, warn
ing all persons against trespassing upon his
land. Since then nothing has been done in
the matter until recently, but now, upon COM
plant of Collector Stricklin, warrant has
been prepared for the arrest of Arbaugh,
charging him with the larceny of the rye.
