How the Chief of Police Caught Him.
A former Chief of Police of Baltimore county
tells how, by strategy, he captured man re-
siding in the northern section of the county
who was looked upon with fear by the consta-
bles and officers of the law in his section.
The man was wanted by the Sheriff and the
Chief was asked if he thought it possible to get
him. After learning that the man was far
mer ard had some cows and that be was easily
subdued if caught away from his home, he
ventured to make the arrest
Leaving home early in the morning he ar
rived at the farmers house and found it an
easy matter to purchase two of his cows for
good price. Arrangements had already been
made for the sale of the COWS in the city at a
good profit and the seller was asked if he would
see that the COWS were delivered. He was per-
fectly willing and accompanied the officer.
Once in the city the Chief proposed that they
go to the theatre, and they did. The country
man was then asked to go to the Chiefs home
for the night and had consented. Just before
the house was reached the Chief thought it
would not be proper to take the stranger to his
home for the night and then put him under
arrest, SO he told him that he had warrant
for him and that he wanted him to go to Tow
son. The farmer was so taken by surprise
that he said: II admire your pluck, you have
worked nice game on me and am glad to be
taken in by snch fellow" A team was secur-
oner was turned over to the Sheriff.
After being put under arrest the former was
anxious to know if the Chief had lost anything
on the cows and offered to reimburse him, but
the Chief replied that he had made $40 by the
deal. The Chief and the farmer were the best
of friends afterward.-Odd Tales, IN Balti-
more Sun.

Don't Like Rural Free Delivery.-Mr.
William Wesley, who was postmaster at Sum-
nybrook, Baltimore county, before rural free
delivery went into effect, writes as follows to
THE UNION:
II see through your paper of February 25th
that you think that the people of Baltimore
county seem to be satisfied with the free de-
livery mail service Please allow me to in
form you that they are not by any means.
We have So families that get their mail at this
office and out of that number there are but six
that favor it and the balance oppose it. We
are not satisfied, but have to take what we get.
Only last Wednesday had to go to Phoenix
and get the mail for this Office to accommodate
my patrons. Free delivery people did not
get any. If that is what you call good mail
service / cannot see it. The star route, with
box delivery from Cockeysville to Baldwin
and return, gave US two mails q day and all
were satisfied, but now, with the free delivery
service, we are far from being satisfied. Your
papers have never got here on Saturday over
the free delivery route until the 18th of last
month and then some of them came with q
string around them and no wrapper on them.
Over the star route they came regularly on Sat-
. urday, except few times they were mislaid
in the mail. Give us the star rout back again
and do away with the free delivery. We have
got enough of it and don't want any more. II
takes three to four days to get an answer to q
letter from Baltimore through free delivery,
when we could answer the same day we re-
ceived it by the star route"

later. The estimated loss on the buildings is

Dogs the Trouble There Too.-Tbe Mont

raising may become profitable and agreeable
industry in Montgomery county. Farming

will likely continue to hold first place, more at

sheep, and especially lambs. for the early spring
market. But dogs are in the way. A few dogs
are useful. Most of them are a nuisance. As
between the sheep and the dogs, let us get rid
of the dogs by taxing them and making the
