Shoulder Blade Wants Reward

Fred Shoulder Blade. an Indian
brave of Montana, has asked for a
medal or reward for saving a soldier S
life in the Tongue river several years
ago. Shoulder Blade has sent letter
to Secretary Bonaparte, whom he ad-
dressed as Secretary of the Treasury,
explaining the circumstances of the
rescue and giving the reasons why he
is entitled to recongition. A party
of soldiers were bathing in the, river
when one was carried off his feet by
the swift current and swept away.
The Indian, apparently expecting an
accident of some sort, had stationed
himself a hundred yards down the
river. He went after the man and
pulled him out in safety. A sum of
money was given him by the quarter
master of the troops at the time, and
some one evidently told him that he
might get further reward from the
Government. The correspondence has
been sent to the War Department.

YOUNG 'lJNS LICKED IRELAND.
Severn Oarsmen See Seniors De-
feated By Junior CrewSOf
Youngsters.
THE vANQUISHED TREATED TO
ICE CREAM AND SODA.
Third Crew Simply Walked Away
From ]. Irving Ireland
Yesterday.

Persons in the nelghborhood of
Green's Drug store last night were
somewhat amused az the manner in
whih four youngsters seated them
selves at the soda fountain and went TO
work in a thoroughly businesslike way
to get outside Of about six sodas
apiece.
The youngsters were iubilant over
having won the only real race of their
season, which is therefore practically
closed and they thoroughly enjoyed
"breaking training by resorting to
sweets, while the defeated single
sculler stood by and paid for the
drinks The rac9 was tho outcome of
the young Juniors praises of their
own prowess and oarsnen and Ireland's
wager to defeat them, or pay for all
the soda water the four could drink
Yesterday was set for the race and
in the afternoon the crew got in the
gig at the boathouse float, with Mr..
SANDY" Randall as ooxswain and
rowed leisurely up to the starting
point near the Bay Ridge railroad
bridge, followed by their opponent in
a light single she'll. When the official
starter gave the word the Juniors
makeup was as follows: Stroke,
Skipper Claude; No. 3, "Ju ly"
Hall; No. 2, Jim" Munroe; bow,
Bush Howard. Both "crews"
caught the water together at the word
from the starter, Mr.. Richard Duval,
and while they pulled together for
short time, before dozen lengths had
been covered over the course to the
Eastport bridge, the outcome of the
race was foregone conclusion.
Never in the history of the club has
crew, first, second or third defeated
rival so fearfully When the lone
oarsmAn in the single shell reached
the springing board at Boucher's
point, the joyful yells of his victors
was borne to him upon the wind from
the Eastport bridge, where the crew
rested on their oars after completing
the course in excellent time. His vic
tors were magnanimous, however, and
although he was long time getting
there, they waited patiently for his ar
rival and, gave him a yell for his
plucky and thoroughly game race.
Mr.. Ireland, in turn, showed that
he was a good loser and at once made
the arrangements necessary to pay his
debt. The young oarsmen, are it is
understood, in good health today, al
though by actual count their noble
stroke oarsman disposed of no less
than seven big ice cream sodas with
out blinking an eyelid. His record
was almost equaled by the other mem
bers of the crew. and for time the
boy at Green's fountain was kept
hustling. The crews work showed
beyond any doubt tEat when the pres
ent first crew is old and gray there
will be plenty of young timber to
build, and other fours or eights to de-
fend the clubs colors against all
corners.

one was the filing of a petition for

assault upon Mr. Ridgely p. Melvin.
legal counsel Go the supervisors by
DR.. George Wells, chairman Of tho
Democratic State Central Committee
and Clerk of the Circuit Court for
Anne Arundel county. This latter took
place in the clerk $ Office in the Court
House and grew out of the supervisor
muddle.
In the Baltimore Sun of day or two
ago was news story furnished the
paper by Dr. Wells, in which he de-
MED story previously published by
the same paper, which had intimated
that no primary officials had been re-
moved by the new board of super
visors because no charges had been
preferred against them. Mr.. Melvin,
this afternoon, went TO the Court
House and was in the clerk S office on
business, when he saw DR.. Wells and
asked the latter II he were the author
of the article mentioned above. DIR.
Wells replied that he was, and upon
Mr. Melvin saying that the article
was not only unfair to the Board OF
Supervisors, but misleading as well,
DR.. Wells jumped upon Mr.. Melvin,
who is his junior by many years and
throttled him, at the Same time order
ing him out of the office.
Mr.. Melvin, with evident respect
for his assailant's years, did not retail
late in kind and fefrained from strik-
ing the older man. In addition to this
he left the office, but said that he
would return shortly on business and
would then enter the CLERKS Office as
a lawyer on business. This he did and
no further trouble occurred, although
the encounter created a good deal Of
eoxitement at the time.
Just prior to this quarrel the petit
tion for an injunction was filed. The
plaintiffs.are Messrs. Frank >. Reyell
and William H. Moss, candidates on
the Democratic ticket named at the
recent county convention for the Off
ces of Sheriff and House of Delegates,
respectively. and Messrs. Rufus ID.
Phelps and John b. Flood, nominees
for county commissioners. The in
junction is prayed against the Board
of Election Supervisors and the State
Central Committee of Anne Arundel
county, and the lawyers for the plain
tiffs are Messrs. Miles and German,
of Baltimore. and Mr.. Robert Moss,
of this city. The petition prays tho
Circuit Court for Anne Arundel conn
ty for an injunction restraining the
defendants from holding primary on
