dent of this county, was painfully hurt
by being struck on the shoulder and back
by bale of hay that had been thrown
from the third story of the City Cab
Company's stables on Baltimore street,
Baltimore. The accident. which occurred
on Monday, rendered him unconscious
for sometime. He is still in a critical
condition Mr. Reed is a son of the late

Campbell one coop of chickens. A tele-
gram from Philadelphia received on We'd

Judge Duncan has signed an order
prohibiting the Baltimore and Hartford
Turnpike Company from collecting toll
at any gifts toll gates until the road
beds have been placed in repair. This
case was before the court on an appeal
from the findings of sheriff jury, which
were approved. While the notice of an
appeal was given. the papers were not
sent up the required time, hence the
order OF court forbidding the further COL
Lotions of toll. The turnpike company
has given bonds conditioned for the re.
funding of all tolls collected since August
4, 1906. 1t would seem by virtue of this
order of court, the money must now be
paid back.
Judge Crothers delivered the opinion
of the Circuit Court for Cecil county,
which affirmed the findings of the sherif's
condemnation jury in the cases of the
Power Company against
the Susquehanna Canal and the Como
wingo Land Company ct al. These
cases occupied the attention of the Cecil
county court all of last week, and the
decision was rendered on Saturday. The
condemnations which were affirmed
awarded the Susquehanna Canal Com
pany $50, 627 and the Conowingo Land
Company $4,000. The case OF the De-
Land Mining and Milling Company has
been settled by the Susquehanna Power
Company, agreeing to allow the buildings
and machinery, pre- yiously condemned,
to remain on the condemned land for five
years and pay the company $500,
which is ST. 900 more than was awarded
by the jury of condemnation.
The arrest of William A. Bond at
Parkton, Baltimore county, on Tuesday
of last week was followed up BY the TAX
ing of Wilbur Wright by the Baltimore
police on Friday. 1t is believed that
these two men have been mixed upin the
recent horse stealings that have been 60
ing on IN the upper part of Hartford and
the lower part of York counties for the
past several months. About fifteen ami
mails have been taken altogether and the
farmers are terrorized on account of this
lawlessness. A similar condition of af-
fairs existed in Hartford county several
years ago, but it was broken up by the
conviction of Hoon and Davis, the for
mer being sent to the Maryland peniten-
tiary for fifteen years by Judge Waters.
Davis escaped from the Bel Air Jail while
awaiting sentence, but it was said that
he died shortly afterwards. Horse steal
ing is the meanest kind of thievery and
deserves summary and adequate punish.
