JONES AND REST ARRESTED.
Two Young BlOods, Said To Be
From Barracks, Had
High Old Time.
THEY "sFOLLOWED HOUNDS"
THROUGH STREETS.
Fast Riding Was The Charge Laid
Against Them By City
Police Officers.
Come listen. my child. and you shall
hear
of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. -

After attracting the attention of
pretty nearly-every one iu Annapoli :
from early afternoon and night, dur
ing which time they rode from saloon
to dining room, to call on ladies and
finally back TO saloon again, two
young bloods were arrested about /. 30
O'Clock Sunday morning ON Church
Circle by Patrolman Frantum and
John Holiday, and their career of
steeple. chasing brought to a sudden
and ignominous close.
To the officers the sports gave their
names as William II. Jones and John
II Rest. Certain it is that both were
sadly in need, of rest, and this may
have accounted for the name The
police were easy on their prisoners
and only charged them with reckless
driving on the public thoroughfares,
although there were some colored men
before Justice Feldmeyer yesterday
morning who had behaved much the
same way, minus the horse riding. and
these paid fine each for drunken
ness and disorderly conduct. 4"
The two fast riders started out
early in the afternoon mounted OF a
pair of livery horses and bore a sus-
picious resemblance two young marine
officers who were spoken to as such by
many of their friends earlier in the
day. Many of the saloons of Annapolis
were visited, and at each there was
time enough given for the army of col
ored boys who trailed along behind,
to catch up and reap a nickle after
they had had a scrap and decided who
was to hold the horses
Later in the evening q wild dash
was made down Conduit street, where
a short call was paid on a friend,
while the curious neighbors craned
their heads to discover what all the
racket was about The riders then
disappeared from view for a short
time. Later they showed up again in
glory and resumed their chase of an
imaginary pack of hounds, and from
their conversation must have been
''seeing" more than hounds. After a
visit to well known Main street din
ing room, they started out on the last
lap of their course to notoriety with a
regular Paul Revere gallop around
Church Circle. Here occurred what
everyone who had seen them expected
to happen earlier and one Of the
horses fell on the sharp turn. The
police who made the arrest say that
there were three of the men then, and
some comrade must have turned up
unexpectedly.
Whoever the third one was he got
away, while the slightly damaged
horse and badly Jared riders were
gathered in by the cops They were
allowed to deposit collateral and will
be given hearing tomorrow afternoon
at O'Clock before Justice of the
Peace Charles G. Feldmeyer 1t is.
understood from good authority that
the men were marine officers and that
their fellow officers do not altogether
approve of their antics. One young
man is said to have remarked that
such antics would lead everyone to
suppose that the barracks was an in
sane asylum. This, however, is, not
so as Notwithstanding the recent esca-
pades of some of the young fellows,
there are a number of gentlemanly
and sober young men now undergoing
instruction at the barracks.
