ANOTHER VAC
GETS RUN in
JAMES CONDOR, A HABiTUE OF
THE STREETS, ARRESTED FOR
vAGRANCY- TOOK CHANGE OF
VENUE FROM GILBERT TRIAL
TODAY.

The work of cleaning up the morals
of Bismarck goes merrily on. Mon
day afternoon a regular habitue of the
city streets named James Condor, to
whom, it is said, suspicion points
strongly toward bootlegging .proclivi-
ties, was arrested by Chief Wing on
the charge of vagrancy Condor will
have his trial before Magistrate Perry
today. 1t will be jury trial, and will
occur at 10 o'clock this morning.
The law covers lot of ground on
vagrancy charge, and says nothing
about the accused having pocketful
of money. All that is necessary for a
man or woman to be vagrant is
the fact that he is known to be idle
and has no visible means of support
The penalty for the offense is that
the person, if convicted, shall pay a
fine not to exceed $50 or shall suffer
Imprisonment in the county Jail for a
period not exceeding 80 days, or shall
be compelled to work upon the streets
and highways for a period not ex-
ceeding 20 days.
| Condor took change of venue from
Judge Gilbert to Judge Perry. 1t is
said that the man has appeared before
| Gilbert in the past, and feared the
consequences.

Cherokee Club Will Come Again In a
Week or Two-Warwick Defeated.
Local fans were much disappointed
last Thursday in not seeing the game
between the Cherokee Indian Club and
Smyrna. The Indians came to Smyrna
to fulfill their engagement but were
prevented from playing on account
of rain. The weather had been
disagreeable for several days and
the Baseball Park was not in condi-
tiOn to play on. The Indians attrac-
ted considerable attention. The local
management had the promise of the
Indians for return engagement the
date of which will be announced
later. 1t will be a week or two
before they will have an open date.
Saturday the Warwick, Md, team
came to Smyrna and were defeated
5 to a by the Smyrna Club.

OFFICER CUMMINS CASE
WILL COME BEFORE COURT
WAVES A HEARING MONDAY IN
ALLEGED "CRUELTY" CHARGE
Town of Smyrna Goes His Bail For
5000 And viii Employ an Attorney
to Defend Him Before Court

Officer Joseph R. Cummins who was
recently arrested by Constable W. M.
Boyer on the charge of Agent Frank
Stout of the Society of Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals and held in $500
bail by Magistrate Henry S. Anthony
for hearing to be held in this town
on Monday August 31st, will now
come before the Kent County Court.
Cummins was pulled up on the charge
OF cruelty killing a dog in front
of W. F. Keith's store on the morning
of Tuesday July 28th, it being alleged
that he picked up a dog he had
manned and finished his work by
beating its head against the curb
stone. > Officer Cummins denied this
and AYERS that he did his duty as
given him by authority of the Town
Council Of the Town of Smyrna in en-
forcing the dog ordinance. This or
dinance requires that all dogs found
running at large without a muzzle
security fastened shall be shot and
killed by the town officer. Monday
morning an hour or so before Agent
Frank Stout and his attorney arrived
from Wilmington to fight the case,
Officer Cummins appeared before
Magistrate Anthony and waived
hearing. He was held in 5000 bail
for his appearance at the October term
of Court. Councilmen, Harry 3.
Grieves and James C. Robinson rep
resenting the Town Council Of the
Town of Smyrna by whom Officer
Cummins is employed, went his bail.
The point raised is not a question of
Smyrna's right to have dogs killed
running at large without a muzzle,
but matter between Joseph R. Cum
minis and Agent Frank Stout in
which the former is accused of
cruely'' performing his duty. The
Smyrna Town Council has agreed to
stand by Officer Cummins and if nee
essary will retain a lawyer and fight
case for all there is in it

LADIES' GIVE "MOON DANCE" ."
Delightful Leap Year Affair Given In
The Century Club Monday Ever
ing by Young Ladies of Smyrna

One of the most delightful social
events of the season was the Moon
Dance given at the Century Club
house Monday evening by the young
ladies of Smyrna. A large impro-
vlsed moon lighted by electricity was
suspended over the balcony and when
the may waltz was struck up the
stage curtain separating the orchestra
from the dancers was pulled to. ard
all the lights except the moon, were
eXtinguished. In this mellow light
the devotees of Terpsichore whiled
away the dreamy waltz. The pro-
gram, which contained about eighteen
dances, were decorated with a silver
crescent. Norris Orchestra furn-
ished music and was generously
encored after each and every number.
Among those who participated were

the Steamer John P. Wilson will leave
Flemings Landing at 1910 o'clock, a.

Wilmington at 80 p. m. This will

against tough proposition and let
the highwaymen have their way.
They took his ring and all the money
he had on his person. johnson, it
is understood, believes the men
were masked to represent colored
men. He was allowed to ego home"
under the command that eff he
raised his voice or mentioned the
affair" he would be dealt severely

UNION CHURCHNEAR BLAcKBlRD
Effort Being Made TO Perpetuate Old
Church Which Was The Worship
ing Place of Bishop Scott

rs 'aSe OF 0iShop Scott
The memory of old Union M. E.
Church, near Blacxbird, now par
ctically abandoned as a regular
church, is to be perpetuated chiefly
because of its age and associations
having been the home of the late
Bishop Scott and the resting place
OF his body. The church, saws the
Wilmington Every Evening, is not
now used for regular services and if
some care should not be taken of
1t, 1t would decay and soon become
to nothing but a mass of ruins. It is
brick structure and can be
preserved, and it is the intention of
those interested, headed by Rev. F.
Z. MacSOrley, who is on that cir
cult, to see that it is taken care of
and that its memory is kept alive. In
order to make the movement for pre-
servatiOn effective, it has been decid-
ed to have annual reunions on the
first Sunday in September of each
year. Consequently there will be
such reunion next Sunday, which
Will be September 9th, and Pastor
MacSorely is arranging an interest
ing programme, with view to hav-
ing services all day. The morning
sermon will be preached by Rev.
Thomas L. POulsOn, D. D. but as yet
has not been decided who will preach
the afternoon or at night. The old
church is much beloved by the resi-
dents of that section of the State. 1t
is located in Appoquinimink hundred
about q miles southeast of Towns
end, and was formerly the centre of
a fairly populous rural district. but
because of the development of other
churches, most of the regular atten-
dants have transferred their member
ship, which makes it impossible to
keep up the church in a regular wav.
but 1t will be kept alive, neverthe
less, by the annual reunions. It is
not known just how old the building
or congregation is. An effort is
being made to get the details of
their history. The present building,
which is of brick, is not the finest
one on the site, although it is very
old. The original building was of
frame. Mr.. MaeSorley, who is in
charge of the circuit, is pastor of
the M. E. Church at Townsend. 1t
is probable that an effort will be
made to form an association to look
after the care of the building and
ARRANGE for the annual ro,..;A.
