May Lose His Eye.

Hugh Melton will probably lose the
sight of his right eye as result of an
accident last Thursday. Along late in
the evening Hugh and Ernest, his bro
ther, were engaged in good. natured
'clod fight at what seemed safe
range, when a clod thrown by Ernest.
struck Hugh squarely in the eye. De.
spite every effort to save the sight OF
the eye it now seems II will be lost, that
being the opinion of DR.. Knott OF this
city, az well MS DR.. Powers, a specialist
Of Carthage, who examined it last FRI
day. 1t is thought, however, that the
ball of the injured eye can he saved, SO
that Hugh will not have to wear a glass
substitute.

A temperance 'pome" by Walt Mason:
''rhe poor misguided Adam God! They
have him at K. e. in quod; and doubt
less in due season he will dangle from u
gallows tree. He was imrervious, he
said, to swords and knives or flying
lead; and 10 his dungeon Adam stands,
with bullet holes through both hands.
There is another Adam God, who often
takes his little tod, and seems to think
that he was born 10 do up old John
Barleycorn. He sees the wrecks that
booze has made the graves 10 which the

Sheriff Dents Opinion.

1t is the opinion of Sheriff Henry G.
Dent that Joe Forrest is in Virginia. Joe
had not travelled very much, it is learned,
although he had frequently said he would
like to see more of the world. He is
nineteen years of age. six feet tall. Is
slender and has a small mouth. His
light, curly hair, long slim face, blue
eyes and good teeth, it is thought. would
attract attention and make Identification
easy.
Interest is being manifested in the re-
ported disappearance from the Forrest
farm of the dog belonging to the family.
1t is said that the animal was unusually
ferocious. BY some the incident is looked
upon as having a bearing upon the trag-
edy. 1t is believed however. that IL the
disappearance of the canine has any con-
nection with the double murder the son
did not commit the crime; that the dog
was taken away by persons who intended
to rob the house and thought the coast
would be clear with the animal away
But Joe is missing and without informa- :
ton concerning his fate the detectives Will
continue to search for him.

Good Clothes Are Missing.

Members of the searching party found
the farm clothes belonging to the son, but
his good clothes were missing. Had Joe
committed the deed while wearing his
working clothes, it is thought. blood
stains would have been found on them.
and the absence of such stains is taken
by some as indicating the innocence of
the SON. 1t is also pointed out that the
crime may have been committed Sunday,
the day after the FORESTS were last seen
alive.
..If the murder was committed Sunday,
one of the officers said. lit is more than
probable that Joe was wearing his best
clothes. And 1t is possible that If he did
commit the crime and got blood on his
clothes he secreted them in place where
they cannot easily be found.
Detective Mayer of Baltimore and 9TH
ers working on the case are satisfied
that Joe has left this section The AK
with which the crime was committed has
been taken to Baltimore and will be held
as evidence.
Neighbors Have Different Views.
Neighbors of the Forrest family hold
different views as to the identity of the
murderer some clnging to the belief that
the son did not commit the crime, while
others are willing to admit that circum-
stances are strong against him. Some of
them who have known Joe since his boy
hood days, still believe he would not have
attacked his parents. They think the
body of Joe will be found secreted or
buried There are swamps through lower
Maryland, they say. in which a body
might be secreted and not found for
months.
1t was reported here this afternoon that
a stranger in this section, thought to be
a detective. is displaying considerable in
terest in the affair, and, it is stated he
may be a private detective employed by
relatives of the deceased, or by the county
authorities TO assist in solving the mys-
terry Some residents Of the county think
a secret investigation Is in progress.
Inspector BOardman, acting superin-
tendent of police. said last evening that
he had not received a request from the
ST. Mary county authorities for assist
ance in the investigation of the case. No
report had been received by him. he add
ed, of the presence in this city of Joe For

case was the receipt of a description of

they might meet a shadowy object on the
road. certain superstitious persons living
on the Three Notch road do not care to
pass that way after sundown. 1t is not
exactly that they ARE afraid to go home
in the dark" but the murder of William
PloWden Forrest and Lillian NJ. Forrest,
his wife is still fresh in their minds.
Some fear they might meet Joe Forrest.
the missing son. who is said to have been
seen carrying shotgun. Some supersti-
tious colored persons in this section seem
to have an idea that to be found passing
the Forrest farm after sundown might
cause them trouble and they are not
taking any chances.
IF Joe is dead" one man remarked,
'.he can't shoot. but he might put his
cold hand on you. and if he's alive he
might be crazy and use his shooting irons.
And" he added. lit don't do no harm
to go the other way, nohow."
Whereabouts of Joe Forrest.
Some residents of the county are said
to be anxious that a reward be offered
for the arrest of Joe Forrest, although
many are not altogether satisfied that
Joe caused the death of his parents so
many reports have been received here as
to his probable whereabouts that the
county authorities do not place much Gre
dence in any of them. Jim Taylor
thought he saw Joe Sunday, about the
time the murder is thought to have been
committed, headed in the direction OF
Washington; others think he called at
their houses and asked for food, while
still others say they saw him on the
road armed with shotgun. The latest
report is that man answering his de-
scription was seen on the tracks of the
Chesapeake Beach railroad, walking to-
ward Washington. three days ago.
Persons hereabouts are inclined to be-
lieve that Joe Forrest was last seen in
the county Saturday. May II, in Leonard
town. That Joe left there on one of the
Potomac river boats is the belief of many
persons who knew him. but they are not
in possession of evidence to show in what
direction he went 1t may be, 1t is ad-
mitted by some of the interested ones,
that Joe made his way from Leonard
town to the Potomac and crossed to the
Virginia side of the river. While 1t Is
realized that the man seen on the train
on the Popes rCeek road answered the
general description given of Joe Forrest.

he was the individual sought.
