Special Correspondence of The Star.

BOYDS. Md, November l.. -.
The mystery regarding the suit case
found in the woods Of +. c. McAtee at
Darbys crossing. two miles east OF this
place. last Friday night is not yet I'M
raveled. Justice Charles III. Grimes re-
turned late yesterday from another
search. He found additional papers con-
Meeting the name of Jane Davis with the
first case found.
There seems to be no question that Jane
Davis was connected with a variety
show. Many here believe the suit case
was abandoned by the woman after the
company was stranded several weeks ago
near Brunswick, it being too heavy To-.
her to carry.
Joseph t. White, county commissioner,
residing near Boyds, sustained a fracture
of the right arm yesterday. Mr. White
was directing the unloading cf stone for
a construction company which is LAYING
two miles of Shoemaker road in Mr.
Whites district. He slipped and fell nv
