The chorus will be the guests and the
end men will appear as walters.
The walters will sing to entertain the
guests, and ne guests will sing to enter
tain the waiters--the audience won't be
sin it". Jokes will be cracked and every

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, OCT. 15 AND 16.
The first cases to be given trial before
the court were the cases OF Smith VS.. Con-
ary and Conary vs.. Smith, which were be-
tween the same parties and tried at the
same time
La the first of these Nelson .. Smith, OF
Sunshine, Deer Isle, brought action
against his next neighbor, Herbert Con-
ary, for trespsss, and in the second Con-
ary brought counter action against Smith
for the same cause.
The whole controversy arose over the
title to fatiron-shaped strip OF land
lying between the farms of the parties to
the suit, which contained two or three
acres OF field and ou which there was O
very small crop OF hay.
The field was crossed by road which
his home and was also used by others in
going to the shore.
Smith claimed that the line between the
two, on The southeast, was a certain stake
and stones, and brought a survey of the
property as made by Mr.. LORD, Bar Har-
Dor surveyor, to show that his claim was
the right one.
Conary claimed that theline was 157 feet
further north, at the corner of certain
COW yard, and brought the survey made
by Mr.. Trip, a Rockland surveyor. He
claimed that Smiths survey was the one
in error, and that the points had been
swung about so that his lot called for less
on the south and more on the north.
Conary erected fence on the strip in
question which Smith removed, as it OBJ
structed the road. Smith, thinking that
the land was his, brought action against
Conary for trespass, because of the fence
Conary, in turn, brought counter action
against Smith for remc-ing his fence.
Smith claimed that he had perfect right
to remove the fence, even If Conary owned
the land, as 1t obstructed his right of way
across 1t.
Many witnesses were calico on bot b
sides, and the title to the land was traced
back to the fifties, when David Sellers
who owned all the property in question

The past week has been a busy one
Although only three yerdicts have been
rendered in civil cases, most OF the large
number on the assigned list have been
disposed of, and in most OF these judg-
ment was rendered.
The grand jury arose last Monday after
busy session. Forty-three indictments
were returned, thirty eight OF which were
for liquor selling, which seems to indi.
cate that there have still been many vio-
lators who persisted in dispensing the
ardent despite the efforts Of the officers
to suppress the business.
Capias has been issued in several cases
on which the respondents have not been
apprehended, which forbids the publica-
tion OF full list OF the indictments.
The finding of SO many indictments for
the sale of intoxicants was a great sur
prise to most people, and in most cases to
the respondents, as comparatively few
had been called to account in the munici-
pal courts, as was the case in most Of the
indictments found last April.
Liquor has, without doubt, been sold
eAtenslVely In HANCOCK county the past
summer, and while but few search and
seizures have been made, it is plainly evil
dent that the county officials have not
been asleep end that the violators will, in
most cases, be brought to justice.
The officers have apparently given up
making efforts for search and seizure,
when In nine cases out of ten the viola
tors would ''see them coming" and be
prepared, but have taken the slower and
surer way Of gathering evidence for
cases before the supreme court.
County Attorney Tracy said Tuesday
that he had ninety witnesses before the
grand jury on liquor cases aione", and
the result is the large number of iudict-
ments.

Mr. Andrew Berkeley, an aged farmer re-
siding in Anne Arundel county, about five
miles distant from Laurel, was fatally In
jured Saturday morning about 10 o'clock by
being thrown from his wagon while return

the animal became frightened by the kissing
of the steam escaping from the exhaust at
the pumping station belonging to the rail-
road company, and situated alongside the
aforementioned bridge. The animal i'm
mediately started to run away, and had
neared the county bridge spanning the
Patuxent river between Prince Georges and
Anne Arundel counties, when Mr.. Berkeley
was violently thrown from the vehicle
Medical attention was rendered him. and
he was later conveyed to his home. His
injuries, however, were of such nature
that death enSued about three hours from
the time of the accident
Mr.. Berkeley was eighty years of age, and
owned considerable land in his county. He
was we'll known in the section of the state
and had a large number of acquaintance
in Washington. His wife survives him.
