The setter named Flash was noticed 20 &C
curiously early in the day. on one occasion
rushing against Mr.. Grebner's legs and turning
a somersault in peculiar manner. and De 0c
casionally snapped at the bushes, but nothing
was thought of these actions particularly
About o'clock, however while Joseph Moran
was about to fire his fowling-piece, the setter
with loud, hoarse barks, sprang at MS Iace
two or three times. Moran promptly beat MN
away with his gun, and the dog ran on into
the brush, swapping at the bushes as he went
by. Presently he made bis appearance again
and made for Mr.. Grebner. but the latter step
ped behind tree, and the dog then sprane
again at Mr.. John Moran, and stuck so closely
to the attack that the latter had only time to
club his gun and beat the dog away. Three
times the animal rushed at Mr.. Moran and was
as often beaten off. Mr.. Moran tried to use
his gun, but rabbit hound. which undertook
to protect his master, sprang upon the settlers
flank, and it was feared shot would kill both
dogs The setter, in its efforts to escape from
the hound made off again into the brush, and
the hunters formed q large circle So that they
could shoot without endangering each other.
When the animal rushed back be came straight
for Harry Moran, and the latter fired both
barrels at close range the dog dropping dead
instantly almost at his feet. So much upset
was the party over the incident that all taste
for sport was over for the day. and several OF
the hunters say they will sell their guns and
give up shooting permanently"

Jury.-The Belair Democrat of last week said !:
Judge Duncan, in his charge to the grand
jury, made it plain that he intends to have en-
forced the laws of the State against crime. He
called particular attention to the violations of
the license and gambling laws that are current
ly reported to be prevalent every day in many
parts of Baltimore county. He told the jury

sell on Sunday, to minors, to drunkards, or on
election days. He regards the device known
az the slot machine, as the most pernicious
form of gambling. because it is an open invita-
ton to boys to gamble because of the small
amount wagered.
1T is pleasant to note in practically the be.
ginning of Judge Duncan's term of Office that
he proposes to deal justly but strictly with
what is generally regarded as potent agency
in the hands of the corrupt political machines
of our sister county. 1t shows a moral cour-
age standard of honor and fidelity to duty that
is not always found even on the bench of
Maryland. Courts are sometimes found weak
in purpose and indifferent to results when vio-
lators of license and gambling laws are before
them. The law abiding citizens of Baltimore
county are to be congratulated that Judge Dun.
can is not judge of that kind"
The Court Scales Legal Fees.-On Tues
day judges Burke and Duncan hled an opinion

cal Association, which resulted in the sale of

sweeping reductions in the fees of some of the

Charles H. Ncolai, trustee, who conducted
the sale.
Mr.. Nicolai is allowed only the usual COM

CATION over the matter.

Intosh and William Shepard Bryan is ratified.
An attorneys fee of $1,000 is allowed to
JAS Fl. Preston and an attorneys fee of 81, 500

Mr.. Merryman and the Automobiles

Mutual Fire Insurance Company in Baltimore
and well known farmer, writes us as
follows:
"9entlemen Your notice of my expert
