a $4,000 LAW SUIT.
Frank Ellis Sues Santa
Fe for Personal
Injuries.

Proceedings were instituted yes
terday afternoon in suit involving
a claim for $40, 900. The action is
to be brought in the district court
against the A. T. & S. F. railroad
system and is for personal injuries
sustained, it is alleged, through the
negligence of the defendants en-
ployes. The suit is brought by
Frank Ellis, through his attorneys,
Patterson & Wallace.
In his petition the plaintiff states
that on the Iath of May, 1908, he
was employed as a freight brakeman
by the said company. On the date
specified he was engaged at La Jun
ia, Colo, under the directions of
the conductor in counting and tax
ing note of the cars in the train.
He observed that two cars were
standing apart, ald that the knuck-
les of the couplings of the said cars
were c,osed. Ellis says that he pro-
ceeded to open the knuckles so that
when the cars came together they
would be coupled. However, he
alleges, that without warning the
part of the train attached to the
engine was moved and he was
thrown down and run into, sustain
ing serious and permanent injuries.
Ellis states that his skull was crush
ed in, three ribs broken. his left leg
received a compound fracture, and
his arm was so badly mangled that
it had to be amputated.
1t is further averred as cause of
action that the railroad track was in
defective condition, the dirt not
being filled up around the rails and
ties. AS consequence. Ellis says
he caught his foot and was unable
to extricate himself in time to avoid
the accident.-El Paso (Texas)

The total of the above is over
1900 bushels which was all sold at
$3.50 per bushel which will realize
the producers nearly Sig, 900. This
is for the seed alone, and they have
the alfalfa straw and two crops OF
hay besides. 1t will be noticed that
Mr.. Leach has 627 bushels raised
from 12o acres of alfalfa. Of course
this Is a phenomenal yield but the
other land adjoining Mr.. Leach
ought to produce proportionately as
well as does Mr. Leach's land. In
conversation with Mr.. Leach he in
formed us that he always saves the
third crop for seed. cutting the two
crops before July Ist each year.
This gives the third crop plenty of
time to mature, and barring storms
and wet weather invariably produces
an abundant yield. He also informs
us that he has drove of SO to IS
turkeys which he runs on the alfalfa,
and tlsey destroy grasshopers and
all other insects which might damage
the seed.
The land adjoining Mr.. Leach's
place ought to produce as well, as it
is the same kind of soil and with
the same attention would undoubt-
edly do so.
Take Mr.. Leach's 627 bushels of
seed from I2o acres of alfalfa and it
realizes nearly $4,000. Where is
there any land in the United States
which would produce as well. This
is for seed alone. He has two crops
of hay besides which will bring at
least $1,000 more. 1t is better than
a gold mine. Take all the above
gentlemen who reside within a ra-
dius of : miles and the amount real
lied nearly Sig, 1000 from the alfalfa
seed alone. We venture the asser-
ton that there is not another equal
area of land in America that will
produce like this. Alfalfa is won
derful crop, and now is the time to
secure land in the famous artesian
valley of Meade County.

Improvements al ElmwoOd Cemetery

The officers of Elmwood Cemetery
at this place have begun systematic
scheme of improvements that will add
greatly to the utility and beauty OF
that sacred city of the dead. The
entire enclosure, part Of which has
been in cultivation heretofore, has
been laid off by H. W. Potts in lots,
walks and drivewAys to harmonic
with the balance of the cemetery, and
THE will be graded, put in grass and
besutifed generally. Trees, shrubs
and flowers will be planted over the
whole area. The adding Of this land
to the cemetery proper will provide
about $50 additional lots, besides 40
smaller plots that may be utilized as
buryiug places. This has become
pressing necessity, as practically all
of the lots in the older part Of the
cemetery had been sold, and there
were no others available The new
portion will provide some very de-
sirsble lots.
The directors are also making i'm
provements to the cemetery house,
which was much in need of repairs.
1t is to be painted inside and outside
and put in good order generally.
The salary of Keeper Samuel Swain
has been increased to an extent suf-
fcient to pay him for the loss Of
garden, for none will hereafter be al
lowed. No hogs, COWS or chickens
will be kept within the cemetery en-
closure, and all the buildings used for
such purposes will be removed. The
ground about the house will be put in
grass and ornamented with shrubbery.
The iron fence has been reprinted
and all the wooden fencing white
washed.
a little later a stone crusher will
be placed in the cemetery, and from
stone quarried from rock lodges avail
able material will be gotten to macad-
amize all the walks and drives and
put upon them stone dust, making
model roads. Our people take much
pride in this beautifully located Gem
etery, and they will heartily endorse
the board OF directors in this extern
sive system Of Improvements. We
hope to see it become one Of the most
beautiful burial places in this section
of the country.

Killed BY the Cars.


Luther Pearl, a passenger conductor
on the B. & 0. Railroad, met a horrible
death last Monday night at North
Mountain station. His home was at
Harper's Ferry, and he had been
running the Baltimore and Valley
Branch accommodation for the past
ten wears or more. He went to
North Mountain Monday to attend
the funeral Of a relative, and attempt
ed to board a moving freight train
coming east, not wishing to wait for
the passenger train. His hold gave
way and he was thrown beneath the
wheels. His body was terribly man
gled. The remains were taken to his
home for burial. His age was 81
years, and he had been in the employ
of the road since his youth. He had
been running into Baltimore for forty
years, and was never off day on ac-
count of accident. He is survived by
widow and several grown children.
A colored man named John Cross,
about 40 years old, was struck and
killed by a passenger train on the B.

ing along the railroad, and in stepping
aside to avoid one train he was run
down by another. He lived near

Our Feathered Friends.

It seems to us this spring that there
are more of our favorite birds about
than usual The early morning is
fairly melodious with their lovely
songs, and in town and country their
sweet notes may be heard on every
hand. In the church yard adjoining
the editors home pair of orioles have
chosen the highest tree as concert
hall, and from morning until night
the liquid melody may be heard.
Redbirds trill their lovely notes, too,
while busy robins and inquisitive cat
birds, with many other favorites, fit
from tree to tree and contribute their
share to the programme. In the coun-
try the larks are singing, the part
ridges are calling, song sparrows are
modestly doing their best, and even
those birds that do not sing add to
the charm of the country as they dis
play their lovely plumage. Oh, rare
concerts may be enjoyed these fine
mornings.

For a Grand Clean Up.

The Improvement Society and the
corporation authorities ask the people
of the town to unite in giving our
streets and sidewalks a general clean
ing up this week, and ask that the
work be done Friday tomorrow.
Property owners will please sweep the
dirt in front of their places in piles,
and it will be removed by the town.
1t Is hoped that this will not only lie
done on the main street, but on the
side and cross streets as well. Every
body should show their interest in
having a clean and tidy village, and
in keeping it clean. Let many hands
get to work Friday morning and give
the town such a cleaning as it has not
had in years.

A Mad Dogs Destructive Work.

Two weeks ago last Friday ". Sci
bert Myers, who lives on the Shepherd
Lower Farm, about four miles north
of Shepherdstown, was awakened by a
commotion among his live stock about
two o'clock in the morning BE went
out to investigate, and found that a
dog was the barn yard biting the cat
tie, sheep and hogs that were there.
Before he could get gun the dog ran
past him and disappeared. When
daylight came he found that number
of the animals had been bitten, some
of them severely. The latter part Of
last week one of the steers that had
been bitten began to act strangely,
and in a day or two it was ravlng
mad. Mr.. Myers penned it IN lot
to itself to await developments. The
steer was perfectly wild, and if any
other animals came near, or if any
one went near the fence, it made for
them with open mouth from which the
foam continually dropped. 1t became
go ferocious that Mr.. Myers, convinced
that it had been bitten by a mad dog,
decided to have it killed Tuesday
morning several persons at his request
went to his home to see the animal
and put it out of its misery if necessa-
ry. The steer was like a wild beast
in its ferocity, and it quickly con-
WINGED the visitors that it was mad.
After it had made scatteration
among the onlookers, who sacrificed
dignity to speed in their attempts to
get out of its way, it was shot and
killed. DR.. Banks got a section Of its
brain to send away for examination,
but there can be no doubt that the
beast was suffering from rabies.
Mr.. Myers also caused his dogs to
be put to death, and is taking every
precaution to prevent further damage.
A calf has shown symptoms Of mad
ness, and has been penned TO itself.
The other live stock on the farm will
be carefully watched. The occurrence
Is a source OF much anxiety to Mr..
Myers, and it is feared he may sus-
tain considerable loss by the further
development OF trouble among his
cattle.
The dog, it is believed, was killed
the day after it left Mr.. Myers. place.
1t was seen at Billmyer'a Mill, and
though it bit no one, it was seen to be
acting strangely. 1t next turned up
at Frank R. McQuilkin's place, and
he and Capt. NJ. ]. Billmyer got after
it and succeeded in killing it. Just
what damage it may have succeeded
in doing in the meantime has not yet
developed.
Mr.. Myers was in town THE morning
and reported that one Of his COWS, a
fine young animal, had gone mad, and
he expects to kill it today. The calf
that was affected was killed yesterday.
lie has separated all the animals that
were bitten from the other live stock,
and is anxiously awaiting further
developments.
The farmers of the neighborhOod
have declared war on worthless dogs
that are prowling abont the country,
and stray ours are being shot when
ever they appear 1t is said that there
is an unusual number ofdogs running
around.

Body Found.

The body oflittle Mary Kline young
est daughter Of Captain Joseph Kline,
was found in the Potomac river at
Falling Waters last Sunday. The
body was seen floating in the water
by John Boppe and his son while
crossing the river, and they notified
Joseph Stehley and some men at Fall
ing Waters. Going out in boat they
located the body a quarter OF mile
below, and it was secured by a rope
and taken to the shore and thence to
Stehley's house. The face was black
and the body was swollen and there
were signs of decomposition from hav-
ing been in the water so long. 1t will
be remembered that the little girl was
drowned when her fathers csnsl-boat
was swept over Dam No. 3. She was
thrown out of the cabin, and her body
was probably caught in the rocks be-
low the dam. 1t came to the surface
after nine days had passed, and float
ed twelve miles down the river before
it was seen. Undertaken Wilen was
notified, and removed the body to
Martinsburg Sunday afternoon, and
later it was sent on to Cumberland for
burial beside her father, who lost his
life in the same accident.
