A TIGHT LITTLE ISLE
Located in the Potomac River
Owns Allegiance to Local Man.

Bean Wrightssn Secures a Valuable
Piece Of Properry-Deeded Him by
the State Of Maryland--He Took cut
SQnattsrs Claim Three Tears Age.
Although SO busy with the affairs
great musical events for our city, our
Dean occasionally finds time to look
after his personal interests and at the
present time is jubilaEt over the fact
that the State OF Maryland has Just
decided him valuable piece Of proper
ty for which he says be would not
take IS, 900. The history Of the affair
dates back several years whes Captain
Lester J. Perry, Mrs. Wrightson's
father, who at that time was head OF
the War Record Department in Wash
ingtnn d. c., in making historical
researches, found unclaimed In the
middle of the Potomac River, about
eight miles above Washington, ID. c.,
three islands. All eff them were hand
some pieces OF property, standing full
ly $50 feet above the level Of the river
and ranging from 6 to 10 acres 10 size.
Upon investigation he found that
these Islands we're the property of the
State of Maryland and after cores
pending with Dean Wrightson decid-
ed TO make claim for them, securing
one for himself, one for Us daughter,
Miss Temple Perry, ard one for the
Dean.
Always having his eye open for a
good thing, the latter went 10 Wash
ington and became enthusiastic ever
the matter, aud then aud there squat
ted upon the largest Island Of the
three, being at the head OF the group,
looking mile and half up the river,
a glorious and beautiful view, with a
cliff at the head of the Island over 100
feet high.
Captain Perry in the meantime had
gone deeper into bis claim and had
built hut and was already clearing
his island and last year raised con-
siderabls amount OF Vegetable garden
upon it. After filing his claim with
the state and waiting the regular time
allotted for such claims tc become lie
gal, waiting patiently three years for
all legal distinctions to be removed,
Dean Wrlghtsen this week received
his piece OF parchment giving unto
him and his heirs ''a tract or parcel Of
land called 'Offutt Islaud,' being an
island in the Potomac River lying 10
Montgomery County, State of Mary
land, and containing ten acres, one
rod aud sixteen square perches Of land,
by virtue OF a special warrant for one
acre obtained by him from the Land
Office of Maryland bearing date the
10th day Of Dec. 1902. u
The deed is certainly a valuable one,
the Anglers Club owning an Island
u mile above the Deans, Of less acre
age, and which is valued at $1,000.
Dean Wrightson says he intends
clearing his Island and putting upon
it summer and autumn home, fixing
1t up with all modern Improvements,
drilling well upon ft, and connect
ing all the three islands with a basAet
cable system SO that they can 90 from
one to the other. He says he has
some Sycamore trees whose trunks are
20 feet in circumference. The Island
is surrounded by rapids and is a pic
turesque and beautiful spot. We con-
graduate him on his ind. He has
decided the island to Mrs. Wrightson
as present and will make all the i'm
provements ON it for her.

CAUGHT IN lHE ACT.

cealed Camera.

ing Secret Nip How the Little
Game was Worked by the officer.

All sorts of reports ard rumors arr
in circulation over town about the
work of the detective who raised such
a rump us in court over the selling Of
wbiskey in the city. Some OF these
stories are true but others show
plainly on their face that there il
nothing in them.
He stopped at two of the hotels
and introduced himself as travel.
ling man. He was here for three
weeks and met many Of the boys who
like to tea up little to while away
the tedium of the dull hours.
Gaining admission to a mum Der OF
places where booze was sold he made
sundry purchases. These were in
same cases retained and it is state i
that in Others he absorbed them on
the spot. The walls which were pur-
chased were labelled with the date
and hour of the purchase and much
other data was procured.
A diagram of each OF the places
visited, together with the name of
the man selling it, the pictures on
the walls, if any, and much other in
formation was placed in the hands of
the organization which brought him
here.
1t is alleged that he had a camera
which concealed in an umbrella was
not suspected and with this he took
pictures Of the men handing him the
booze which he bought and took
snapshots of the frequenters of the
place. 1t is claimed that be has pic
lures of more than 100 prominent
men Of town who are in the habit of
hoying liquor from speakeasies
These reports are not adding much
to the equanimitv of the men who
fear they have been snapped in the
act.
So clear are the pictures that 1t is
said in one case the name of the pro
prietor is to be discerned on the cash
register in the place.
1t is stated that couple of young
fellows who were aggrieved by the
action of the man hunted him up and
wanted to thump him but he denied
his identity. This has been report
ed TO the authorities and is expected
to come out in the trial of the cases.
A great scare has been thrown in
to tie sellers and one of them at
least swears that he will have moth
ing further to do with the Illegal
sale of liquor and that he will go out
of business entirely the first of next
month.

Stove for Halt the Money Asked.
To the Editor of the NEW DOMINION:
Something has caused me TO have
an overwhelming desire to write some
thing tonight and consequently Lam
going to write an essay on 'stoves. y
Stoves are certainly a great invention,
because they save great deal of the
labor and worry with which our an
cestors had TO contend For beauty
In design and workmanship perhaps
no stove in this city equals the stove
in the ladies' waiting room at the de-
pot. believe / will change my sub
ject and write about FRANCES. y
Ranges, you understand, are just
stoves aith six lids, a water tank on
one side and warming closet on top.
Two years ago big happy man with
two large mules and flne wagon ia
which was one of these ranges came
to my fathers home and persuaded
him TO believe that the range was
worth SAC.
The happy man said that the range
was made by the st. Louis Wrought
Iron Range Company and gave his
personal guarantee that everything
would last two years. Well, about
six months later the wonderful labor
saving water tank was as full Of holes
as Russian warship
The guarantee was looked up, but
the man who gave IL could n0t be
found. Now, II would take foTty-fiye
happy men to sell my father one of
those ranges for SIS. In truth we
saw the same range advertised later
for $21.75
Mr.. Editor, / am student In the
w. V. U. now and yesterday | was
walking along the streets OF this
city, when what did | see bat two
flne big mules hitched TO a fine wagon
in which was one OF those ranges and
a happy man was near trying to per-
suade people to believe that the range
was worth $67 cash or S73 on time.
About the only difference between
this range and the one my father
bought, is that the one father paid
$45, for 1t Is worth more to-day than
the $73 affair, aud better ones than
either can be bought in Morgantown
hardware stores at $50 and the said
stores will deliver them anywhere in
the county as cheap as the mules and
the happy man will.
And say, Mr.. Editor, were you ever
o farmer and bought anything of an
agent on time, and then counted the
interest on yoar money? Try it once.
A hint to the wise is sufficient.
The foolish can buy ranges.

Spies Not to be Commended.

To the Editor OF the New DOMINION.
Tue importation of Yankee spy
to find out and publish to the world
the weakness of many OF our brothers,
is of very doubtful propriety. Ii
would be difficult to find out anything
in the teachings of Jesus Christ to
Justify any such conduct,
lntemperahee has existed since the
time Of Noah and will probably con-
tinue TO the end. That liquor IS in
the world by the act of Providence is
sure. That we cannot understand
the reason Is like many other things
the use of which we cannot under
stand. Probably some think the
world could get along without Satan,
but then we would have no reformers.
