MERCHANT GUNNER
FIGHTS $3.50 FINE

GEORGETOWN. Nov 2s-Contendne
that a trespass must be wilful and
malicious. John Abbott. a merchant
here. who was sued by Mrs. Sarah
Jane Tndle for cunning on her lan0.
has refused 10 pay the fine Of $3.50
imposed by Magistrate Warrington and
will have the case taken before three
referees.
Abbott. who is the leader OF the
Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church
choir, insists that specific damage
must be shown by Mrs. Tindle and
AYERS that although he>did cross a par
Of her land. he did not gun there, did
not do any damage and got off the land
the moment he found that it was posted
with notices TO keep Off"
He is being backed in his stand by
GEORGETOWN citizens and many farmers
who think that Mrs. Tindle went too
far to take n mere case Of mistake in
getting on land into the courts. Then
there are others who say the woman is
invoking law that was made TO pro-
tect landholders against gunners.

"BEDFORD FLAG" A RELIC OF CONCORD.

0NE OF the least known yet most
precious, of the historic American
flags now in existence is what is
Familiarity known in the ancient common
wealth of Massachusetts as the Bed
ford flag When the Concord Hymn

Emerson. first appeared exceptions were
taken TO the line Their flag to April's
breeze unfurled," the critics nlaint aiming
that the little band of farmers who as
sembled at the Old North bridge at Con-
cord the historic 10Th of April. 1775, and
fired the shot heard round the world
had no flag.
AS in many other proven instances the
critics were mistaken. There was a flag
at Concord, and that flag is still in ex-
istence. 1t vas carried by Nathaniel
Page, jr-, one of the minute men of Bed
ford, an adjoining town. This flag vas
stored in an attic in the old home OF the
Pages for many years. and was thought
SO little Of by its owners that upon one
occasion daughter of the house is said
to have used portion Of the gold fringe
which bordered ii to decorate a costume
Tor a masquerade party.
On the occasion of the centennial an
niversary of the Concord fight" in

love Of country and of the symbol of free
dom. History does not record a nobler
or truer expression of exalted patriotism.
The safety OF their flag necessitatec ats
immediate removal, SO II was lowered.
and as its further possession would be
dangerous to the flag and its owners the
precious thing was taken apart and Its
pieces divided among the twenty or more
men present. Each wound about his body

A little later the prisoners were ex-
changed. and when the men returned to
their homes the fragments OF the nag
were scattered over the length ana
breadth OF this country. Regan. however.
cherished the idea of reassembling them.
and for twenty-five years he maintained
correspondence with his prison mates with
that object in view.
Persistence won at last, and with his
own hands the old banner was restored.

one knew of his labor OF love until his

patriotism of those who gave their lives
to the loyalty and devotion OF one who.
coming to these shores an alien, quickly

not therefore especially fitting that this
flag is lovingly designated as Tim Re-
gan's Flag?

1t was probably the flag of some indie
pendent military organization Of those
early days.
That the flag was carried at Concord.
however. is substantiated by word of
mouth of two persons-a daughter of Ma
years of age at the time of her father S
death. and grandson, who was eighteen
years old at the time-both of whom
stated that they received the story of
the flag from Its bearer. and both told the
same story to persons living when the
investigation was in progress. An inter-
esting item OF the tale was that while the
minute men were employed in secreting
the stores which were the object of the
British the boys of Concord played SOL
der" with the flag.
The old banner is of crimson damask,
with design in silver of a mailed arm,
with hand grasping a sword On a rib

a gold border remain, but 1t was many
years ago despoiled of it's fringe in the
manner previously mentioned. When
manufactured it must have been very
