An Exciting Experience in Flood
| Mrs D. NJ. Matthews of Dulany's Valley, ac-
companied by one of her sons, had disagree
| kOff Ar-1 l,o
Gunpowder last Saturday morning. They had
some urgent business in Baltimore and started
| to drive toward Towson by way of the Du-
lanys Valley pike. Before they got even near
Meredith's ford bridge they found it would be
impossible to cross there on account of the
depth of water that had spread out over the
flats. They then retraced their steps and
went around by the Manor road, expecting to
| be able to cross the stream at CromwelPs
bridge about mile below Loeb Raven dam.
They were followed on this course by Mrs.
| Hanf, of Blenheim, who also desired to cross
| the falls.
When they reached CromwelPs bridge they
also found a large body of water flowing
around the north side of it, but man they
met there said he could drive them over and
this he proceeded to do, making three trips
with the horse and jaeger of Mrs. Matthews,
who was pretty thoroughly soaked with water
by the time she got across.
| On the last trip over Mrs. Hanf followed in
her vehicle but her horse did not act so well
as the other one. He turned with the current
and the team was carried down against tele-
graph pole where the wagon caught and the
horse broke loose from it and got out. Final
ly some men who saw the accident went to
the relief of Mrs. Hanf and she was safely
brought to dry land
Now Up To Justice Neumayer.
Neumayer, of Gardenville sat several hours in
the hall at Hamilton, Hartford road, on Thurs
day night hearing the testimony in the suit
brought by County Commissioner Charles II.
Knox to require the Hamilton Volunteer Fire
Company to give him an umbrella which was
awarded to Major Thomas B. Catch in con-
test which took place at bazar recently held
by the company. The umbrella was offered
as prize to the one who was voted to be the
most popular man in the 14th district. Mr.
Knox and Major Catch were the contestants
When the first count was announced Major
Catch was declared to be the winner. At a re-
count it is claimed that it was shown that q
large majority of the ballots had been cast fol
Mr.. Knox. The recount, it is claimed, was moi
official, and Major Catch is the possessor of the
umbrella. Justice Neumayer reserved his de
cision. About $50 persons were present at the
hearing Mr.. Knox was represented by Col
D. g. Mcintosh, and the defense by Messrs
| John F. Centrum and John s. Biddison. Nc
matter which way the case is decided by JUS
tice NeCmayer, an appeal will be taken to the
Circuit Court, it is said.
