A telegram from Hagerstown dated
the 18th says:
Geo. W. Bond, Union veteran of
the civil war and one time mayor of a
Western town, who was adjudged in
sane by jury about year ago, but
who has been permitted to remain at
his home IN the custody of his wife,
tried to assault Judge M. L. Keedy as
he was walking through the court
house.
When Bond was found insane the
Maryland Surety and Trust Company
was appointed committee to take
charge of his estate, including a gov
eminent pension which he receives.
Bond approached Judge Keedy and
charged him with being responsible for
the appointment of the committee.
Bond then raised his stick and was
about to strike. when J. Scott Bower
saw the movement, wrested the cane
from him and turned Bond over to
Sheriff Barber, who committed HIM to
Jail.
Judge Keedy Immediately wrote out
a commitment directing the sheriff to
take Bond to the Springfield Hospital
for the Insane at Sykesville.

COOKING MAIN AT KlTZMlLLER

sany County Present.

At Kitzmiller, this county. opposite
Blaine, West Va, on the Potomac river,
a cooking main of more than ordinary
interest was witnessed by about three
hundred sports from Allegany county,
including an ex-Sheriff of that county,
an ex-chief of police of one of the Creek
towns, and about one hundred residents
and near sports of Kitzmiller and
Blaine.
The cooking main was conducted in

changed hands as a result of the numer-
Gus fights.
The Kitzmillerites were backed by
one of the sporting fraternity of that
town and those of Allegany county had
all sorts of money to bet.

PRESERVING HEALTH OF CHILE
Possible to Avoid the Ordinary lnfan-
tile Diseases, That Have Been
Considered Necessary.

The idea prevails among many peo-
pie that children must have the or
binary diseases of childhood. and that
it is better TO expose them early in
life so as to get through with them
as soon as possible. 1t is an old-fash-
Toned belief, and the object today is
to protect children from infection in
stead of exposing them to it. AS chill
dren are more susceptible to varla-
tons in temperature than adults. so
are they also more apt to contract
certain diseases. The surest way to
protect them against infection is not
to expose them This is extremely
difficult where there are large gather
ings of children, such as at public
schools or in thickly populated dis
tricts. but if the health OF a child is
maintained by pursuing proper by
gienic measures as to food bathing,
sleep, fresh air, and sunshine it is safe
to say that it runs a small risk of
contracting one of the infectious dis
eases even when exposed to ii. We
should strive to develop the tissues OF
the body by proper modes of living to
such degree that exposure to UNI
favorable conditions will be met with
resistance.
