Monkton. N. G. Il. R.-Mr. G.. L. Sheeler,
proprietor of the hotel at this place. met Wild
q serious accident in Baltimore last MONDAY

knee and ankle. He was at once removed 70
the City Hospital, where the injury received

was brought to his home here and is now 40
ing as well as could be expected. Mr. Sneeier.
who lie an energetic business man, has the
| sympathy of many friends. At present ne Is
under the care of DR.. T. Ross Payne. MI.
Marion Wright. Mr.. Shelters obliging clerk,
is now looking after the business
Some weeks ago mentioned the TACT tnat
Monkton was without either physician or

ster. Mr.. Sparks is reputable gentleman ana

Mrs J. Winfield Shepperd, who lives near
] COrbett, made narrow escape few days ago.
She cut finger and tied it up with rag sat,
urated with turpentine. Some OF the nuio
ing for shortly afterward, while moving ABOUT
| the kitchen stove, it took fire and blazed up
| quickly Fortunately her daughter was near
at hand and the two together managed TO get

burned from Mrs. SHEPHERDS finger She

l noticed in last weeks issue of THE UNION
| that Game Warden Harry Malcolm. OF Tow
son. had distributed number of Kansas part
ridges and that good many of them came up
| into this section Of the county. For the bene-
/ fit of Mr.. Malcolm and others who may be IN.
terested wish to say that no attention is paid
| to the game law in the 10th district and am
pretty sure that these birds will have no show
| to raise their young if, indeed, they live tosl
build their nests. The country is simply over
run with dogs and these are permitted TO go |
when and where they please at all hours of the |
day and night, hence there is no chance for
game of any kind. Why cannot the law be
enforced here like it is about Towson and other
! places in the county? But the reason is plain:
| The deputy game wardens up here say there is
no salary attached to the Office and they are
not doing much work simply for glory. There
was a time when there were few dogs and
plenty of game, but now this order is reversed
and the CANNES have it all their own way and
to take out the dogs and politicians there would
not be much left Mr.. Malcolm should take a
day off and come into the 10th district and look
matters over. He would find that what say
is strictly true.
Mr.. Elmer Miller, son of Mr.. Thomas ).
Miller, who has been living with his father-in-
law at White Hall, will shortly move to his
fathers farm, known as the Curtis place. He
expected to be in his new house before this but
