Burned Her House But Declared
Not Guilty.

Mrs. Annie Loomis who set FIRE to her
home at Hickory, Hartford county, last
November was acquitted before Judge
Van Bibber last week. At the opening
of the case Harry S. Carver and Robert
H. Archer, Jr., fled special plea, asking
for verdict of acquittal on the ground
that, although the defendant be proved
guilty Of the offense charged, under the
common law the prisoner could not be
convicted or punished under the indict-
ment in this case, as it was her dwelling
house as well as the dwelling house of
her husband. The State demurred to
the plea and after argument. the court

The fair and festival held on Friday
and Saturday evenings last, in the public
hall. under the auspices Of Rising Sun
Cornet Band, proved to be successful
venture in every respect. The attendance
was small on Friday evening, but that Of
Saturday evening amply made up for it,
as the hall was jammed and everything
was disposed of by 80 o'clock.
The band rendered splendid musical
program both evenings. The pie-eating
contest by half-a-dozen boys on Friday
evening was an amusing feature. Clinton
Ryan proved to have the winning pie
mouth, at any rate he was the first to de-
vour his pie.
On Saturday evening half-a-dozen boys
entered the apple-eating contest, and as
the apples were suspended from the cell
ing by strings and the contestants were
required to keep their hands in their
pockets, the fruit proved very elusive,
and the contest most amusing, Vernon
Garvin finally winning, with Clinton Ryan
a close second.

Fatally Stabbed.

Carrie Bolyer and her sister, Beulah
were stabbed on the public road near
Toughkenamon, Pa, Saturday night by
Sylvester McKinn. The parties are all
colored.
McKinn. it is alleged, was formerly
married to the elder Bolyer woman, and
the trouble, it is believed, grew out of
this. He is said to have repeatedly
threatened her, and when he came upon
them on the road, he knocked her down
with club and began stabbing her with
his jacknife. The other sister interfered,
only to have him turn on her and stab
her four times.
The women were found lying uncon-
scious in the road by neighbors, who had
heard their outcries, and were taken at
once to the village and thence to the
County Hospital.
1t was found that one of the knife
thrusts had pierced the lung of Carrie
Bolyer and that she would almost certainly
die.
Officers George Timanus and James
Townsend at once started in pursuit Of
the assailant, and, after an all-night hunt,
came upon him in his cabin. He was
handcuffed and later taken to Jail.

LOST IN FOG AND ICE.
Ducking Police Have Thrilling Ex-
perlence On The Flats.

Lost in dense fog and after an all-nighi
battle among ice foes on the Susquehanna
flats in rowboat, three deputy game
wardens finally reached shore in safety~in
an exhausted condition about noon
Monday.
The men were Chief DeputyS. c. Jones.
Of Berlin, and Deputies William A. Jack
son, Of Perryville, and Clayton. Clark, OF
Charlestown, Cecil county. They had
made five arrests on the Susquehanna flats
between s and IL o'clock Sunday night,
and were starting back to Perryville when
the fog lowered. Before they had pro-
ceeded half mile the tortuous twistings
of the ice openings had bewildered them
and they lost their way.
Rain commenced to come down in tor
rents and the men struggled desperately
at the oars in an effort to gain the shore.
Constant cracking sounds as the ice
broke under the warm rain warned them
that they might at any minute feel the
crushing impact Of a breaking foe.
They continued to cry out toward the
shore. hoping in some way to locate
Perryville or Havre de Grace, but the fog
and the sound of cracking ice combined
to make their voices useless. Once Mr..
Jones was knocked backward into the
boat by floating block of ice which
struck the craft.
Finally, after struggling for hours, the
men struck the shore about IL miles south
of Perry1ille.
Mr.. Jones then went to Elkton, where
he swore out warrants for Capt. Frank
Jackson and Harry Blackwell. of North
East; U. G. Ways, Cloakland Mccall and
Harry O'Moore, all Of Havre de Grace,
charging them with violating the game
law by being on the fats other than the
time prescribed by law.
Mr.. Talbot Denmead, of the Maryland
Game and Fish Protective Association,
sent request several days ago to Game
Warden Harrison asking that an invests
cation be made of alleged violations on
the fats, and Chief Deputy Jones was
assigned to the case.
