Citizens Organize.

The first regular meeting Of the In
dian Head Citizens Association was
held in the new hall at Indian Head
March 10. 1905. Those present were
Messrs. John J. Ge...g. W. B. Rains
ford, e. Z. Evans, A. T. Mcnamara, g..
W. Lloyd, NJ. Dement,, R. Carpenter,
Alex Cruickshanks, J. F. Roberts, +. =.
Mattingly, A. R. Carpenter, II. Dement,
W. d. Moon, J. l.. Brown, F. d. Cary.
Frank Mates, F. O. White, G. Jansen.
George Nealon, J. @. Heise, II. Fields,
A. l.. Eccleston.
The preliminary meeting Of this Asso-
citation was held Feb. "a, 1905. There
were fifty-two present at this meeting
and the advisability Of incorporating
Indian Head into town was the snb-
ject under discussion. As it was the
general opinion Of those present that it
was too soon to incorporate, the subject
was laid aside, and the public road ques-
tion was taken up. Mr.. John J. Gering
was elected temporary chairman Of the
Association, and Mr.. William B. Rains
ford, secretary.
The object Of the Association is to
have the Indian Head public roads i'm
proved, |. e., from Deep Point to ely
mont, on the Potomac River, and to La
Plata.
The road from Glymont to the Reser-
walton has been improved very little
during the past eighteen years, and the
road from the Res, alton to Deep Point
has been wholly neglected. owing to
this state of affairs She roads have be
come almost impas sable during the
winter.
The neglect, however, has not caused
any decrease in taxes for that section
and for this reason the Association,
which is strongly suppofted by all the
taxpayers and Residents of Indian Head,
will strive to bring the matter before
the proper authorities.
The next meeting of the Association
will be held Monday, March 80, at 7
o'clock, at the same place.

from the Governor. The two samplers
are appointed by the Inspector. OF
these Mr.. George W. Carroll, Of Gallant

ORCHARD SHOULD HANG


Harry Orchard occupies an unique

country. The confessed murderer OF
no less than dozen innocent people
and the perpetratof OF number Of
the most diabolical crimes known to

mended to the mercy OF the state
pardOning board by the Judge who
sentenced him to death, and that
board Ii asked to commute his SEN
tence TO imprisonment. The hon

not questioned; but no matter what
may be the motives and influence
which made such a recommendation
possible. IL VIII have a tendency to
