ed in Oakland for several years past as
tailor and two or three years ago was
married to domestic employed at
Deer Park, was arrested Monday morn
ing by Deputy Sheriff Brown on a war

Bergman has been a man of unsavory
reputation ever since he has been in

fully beaten and abused his wife.

Court for divorce on statutory grounds

woman named Robertson, the marriage
ceremony being performed at Clarks-
burg, W. Va. Advice, from the clerk
of the court at that place, however,
state that no record is on file there
showing that such marriage had taken
place. Whether or not Bergman is re-
sponsible for the publication is not
known.
At the hearing given Bergman Mon
day afternoon by Justice Gender the
prisoner made an effort to have his wife
drop the criminal proceedings against
him but she refused and not being able
to furnish bond in the sum of 500
Bergman was sent toljail where he will
remain until after his case is disposed
of by the grand jury which meets on
Monday next. Should bill be found
against him and he is still unable to
furnish the requisite bond he will be
sent to Jessups where his earnings will

| gin the work. In the meantime we have
some months to locate definitely all the

A Remarkable FLOW,
Of WATER FOUND
Well Sunk to Supply the City With
Water Shows Wonderful Supply.

One of the wells which were recently
contracted for by the City Council for
the purpose of supplying Oakland with
water, has been completed by Mr.. R.
S. Jamison, who drilled it.
The well is located on the old Daily
field just outside the town limits, and is
one hundred and fifty feet deep, cased
with an eight inch pipe to the rock and
is eight inches in diameter.
Tuesday morning test was made of
the well when pump capable of throw
ing fifteen hundred gallons of water an
hour was installed and the engine used
in drilling the we'll was attached to it.
After continuous work for four hours the
stream was apparently undiminished,
but further test was made Yesterday
when the pump was kept going continu-
ously for eight and half hours with the
same result, pumping twelve hundred
and fifty gallons an hour, or a total of
more than 10000 gallons.
ACCOIulilS W estimates Hldue IIOIl
records Of water companies this amount
of water is capable of furnishing more
than two hundred families using an
average of seventy gallons daily.
Last night at special meeting of
Council it was decided to sink at least
one more well on the same lot and near
enough so that single engine could be
utilized in pumping both.
Tentative arrangements have been
made by Council with Mr.. A. D. Nay
Tor for the erection of the reservoir on
the hill nea" his residence, which eleva-
ton is sufficient to give sufficient pres
sure in all parts of town for both domes-
tic uses and fire protection.

HOUSES AND MEAT WERE
: BURNED MONDAY NIGHT.
Chas. E. Hlleary, ESQ.,, Loses Build
ings, Six Hogs and a Beef.

Last Monday night serious fire oc-
Cured on the farm of Mr. Charles E.
Hilleary, near German, entailing loss
of about $500 with no insurance. The
property burned consisted of two
dwelling houses, used for storage pur-
poses, a smoke house and hennery.
The day preceding the fire Mr.. Hill
leary had butchered six hogs and beef
and in one of the dwelling houses burn
ed a fire had been kept going with which
to render lard and do the other necessa-
ry work incident to butchering, and he
is of the opinion that the tiue from long
disuse had become defective and that
live coal had communicated the fire to
the structure which in turn set the sur
rounding buildings on fire.
The fire was not discovered until about
one o'clock Tuesday morning at which
time it was under such Roadway as to
prevent the saving of anything stored
in any of the buildings except some
canned fruit and the liberation of the
chickens from the hennery Many of
the neighbors were summoned by tele-
phone who responded and it required
hard work on their part to save the new
and very handsome dwelling house cree
ted on the farm few years ago. Water
for the purpose had to be hauled from
a creek quar,er of mile away.
In the smoke house Mr. Hilleary had
stored his pork and beef butchered the
day preceding, all of which was con-
Sumed.

Hereford Cattle in Garrett County.

Mr. Charles Howard Lloyd, of Easton,
Talbot county, Md, has sold to Mr..
Charles r. Savedge, of Deer Park,
Garrett county, a registered bull and
heifer of the Hereford stock. This
breed of cattle are not especially noted
as good mixers, but stand well for beef
producing qualities, and this is some
thing Garrett county needs. Though
of the same breed, the bull and heifer
referred to are of no kin whatever.
They were sent up to Deer Park from
the Eastern Shore by express and ar
rived in fine condition. Many people
have seen and admired them since their
arrival in this county.
