GATHERING THEM IN.
Squire Lee Gives First Chance
And The Last For
Himself.

Mr. W. ID. X. Lee. justice of the
peace, had looked for long time
with great wonderment upon signs,
usually displaced in saloons in remote
localities, stating that it was 1.-THE
first and last chance. OF course the
signs indicated that it was the first
chance to get drink before entering
FOWL and the last chance to wet a
whistle upon leaving.
When he was made Justice Of the
peace he bore il in mind. He selected
for his Office locality where the first
and last chance sign would be appli-
cable. 1t was located on the Camp
Parole road, or West street extended,
just across the tracks of the Bay Ridge
spur and less than an eighth of a mile
from the city line.
There was something doing from the
very start. That portion of the color
ed population which comes to town
periodically from the swamp and other
sections of the county had been hav-
ing things easy. They asked no bodies
permission to curse and swear, race
their nags or conduct themselves in
generally disorderly manner. Con
stable and Deputy Sheriff Crawford
got busy, however, and started a new
order of things. He proceeded to
bring the offenders before Squire Lee
and the latter did the rest Since he
has taken hold things have settled
down to a very hum drum condition
excepting for sporadic outbreaks.
Yesterday Thomas Dorsey became
imbued with very combative spirit
and tried to remove some cuticle from
the facial adornment of Sam Adams.
Crawford was prompt on the scene and
arrested Dorsey on the charge of as
sault and battery. Lee attended TO
the remainder of the performance by
causing Dorsey to extract 81 and
costs from his jeans. Then Rachel
Dorsey tried to break loose and cause
some excitement on the public high.
way. That cost her 81 and costs.
Agnes Adams, the other party to the
controversy which produced the dis
turbance, was also assessed 81 and
costs.

MILTON w. ARROWOOD
His Mysterious Disappearance
Still Unknown to The
Department

The mysterious disappearance of
Midshipman Milton W. Arrowood, of
the flagship Kearsarge. while station
ed at Norfolk, Va, some days ago, is
a peculiar one and one of which the
Navy Department has as yet been un-
able to offer any explanation.
A week or more before the Kear-
sarge sailed for the South, young
AFRO wood disappeared from the ship.
Nothing mas been heard from him
since. 1t was found after his depar-
ture that he had shipped his baggage
from the ship before his departure. So
unwarranted was his action that his
return has been expected, especially
in view of the fact that he knows the
serious consequences he must suffer
if charged with desertion.
Nor is it believed that he can expect
to elude the vigilance of the officials
of the Department if search for him
is instituted. His family have been
notified of his conduct, and nothing
more will be done at present. If he
does not return the Navy Department
will have him arrested, as there is
reason to believe no difficulty will he
experienced in ascertaining his where
abouts, and he will then be tried by
court martial. The sentence in such
cases is most severe. 1t is understood
that young Arrowood made several
applications to resign from the Navy,
but he could offer no adequate reason.
Midshipman Milton W. Arrowood
is graduate of last years class, and
was very popular with his classmates
He is most exemplary young. man,
is the son of a Presbyterian minister,
and a member of the Presbyterian
Church of this city, and took a most
active interest in church affairs both
in the city and in the Young Mems
Christian Association of the Naval
Academy. He was officer of the
church squad that was allowed TO
come out TO the town church.

Considerable difficulty was exper-
fenced in arriving at an amicable
selection, owing to the peculiar con-
dition of affairs existing in this county
at the present time. Just what names
were considered at the conferences it
is needless to mention at this time,
but that several were mentioned is
we'll known. The last consultation,
at which the selection was made, was
held at the residence of Judge James
Revell, who has been confined to his
home on West street for over a week.
At the conclusion of the conference
the appointment was filed in the
clerk g office and its contents speedily
became known. In text it is as fol
lows:

Mr.. Green is the son of the late DR..
Richard H. Green and was born on
February 26, 1871. After attending
the common schools of the city he en-
tered st. Johns College, graduating
from that institution in 1889 with the
degree of Bachelor of Arts. For two
years he engaged in school teaching
and then entered the office of Mr..
James NJ. Munroe, under whose in
struction he studied for the bar. In
May, 1892, he was admitted to the
practice of law. Since that time he
has been identified with many of the
large cases tried before the local courts
and early gave promise of the rather
pleasing career which he has made for
himself.
In addition to the practice of law
he is secretary and treasurer Of the
Annapolis Water Company, which po-
sition he has held for a number of
years. As soon as he has qualified by
taking the oath of office and filing the

ter upon his new duties, for which he
is fitted, both by reason of his educa-
tion and intimate association with the
