day last invited large number of his
friends to participate in a fox chase, and
in response to the invitations sent out
large number OF lovers of the sport
turned out. The fox was liberated at
IL o'clock in Mrs. Green's field on the
Eastern side of the town. He was an
exceedingly large one and when given
bis liberty started in Southern direc-
ton. but soon changed his course and
made for My Maryland, his native State.

By the finding of the body of an in
FAINT female child with its throat cut from
ear to ear, in lot in the rear of the
residence of Mr.. William Scott last Sun.
day morning, one OF the most brutal |
crimes ever committed in this commun-
ity was brought to the attention of the
law abiding people our town. When the
discovery was made by small boy those
who viewed the nude body could not
see the large cash in the throat, but
after the coroner had been notified and |
undertaken Emerson received instructions |
to remove the body, the real brutality |
of the crime was discovered. The coro
ner arrived in town Monday morning |
and after empannelling jury held the |
inquest The jury rendered verdict |
'that the child was murdered by parties /
unknown to them" State Detective |
Francis arrived in town on the same
train with the coroner, End has spent the |
entire week running out clues, and If /
we are correctly informed there may |
be an arrest made inside.of few hours.
1t is indeed hard'to realize that we have
living in this community parties who
could commit such an inhuman deed,
yet it has been done and if the guilty
person or persons are arrested and brought
to justice, there will be cause for rejoic-
ing when they are safely put away back
Of prison bars. a.
