STAYS HIS BROTHER,
RESULT OF QUARREL
Dispute Over Division of Corn
Crop Ends in Tragedy
in Maryland.

SALISBURY. Nd, September Oval
stone Switch, a little village about five
miles east of Salisbury. was the scene OF
desperate conflict Yesterday In a corn
field between two brothers, in which
Theodore Ennis killed his younger broth
or. Eddie Ennis. in the presence of their
father, John Ennis, a farmer of that
neighborhood. The fight between the
brothers followed dispute over the divi-
sion of corn which the boys and their
father were harvesting. 1t appears that
the father and his son. Theodore, had
some words concerning the shares of corn
due each. Eddie Ennis, hearing the loud
talk between his father and Theodore,
came across the field and became in
volved in the dispute with Theodore.
Begins Fight With Knife.
Eddie Ennis drew his knife from his
pocket and lunged at his brother Theo-
dore, cutting him and also cutting the
fathers clothing while he was attempting
to separate the boys. Theodore grabbed
a hoe and the two brothers went at each
other like tigers, and after several gashes
being inflicted by both Theodore succeed
ed In sending the sharp edge of his hoe
into the brain of his brother Eddie, who
fell to the ground and died at the house
shortly after being carried there by the
mother and father.
AS soon as the news Of the tragedy was
learned people in the neighborhood rush
ed to the scene, and upon the arrival OF
States Attorney Bailey and Deputy
Sheriff Roy E. Smith excitement was at
such high pitch that Theodore Ennis
managed to make his escape, and al
though the local officers used every effort
in their power. up to a late hour last
night they had not succeeded in appre-
hending the brother accused OF the kill
ing 1t is presumed that young Ennis
is either hiding in the woods nearby or is
being cared for by friends. 1t Is said
that young Ennis will give himself up to
the authorities today.
Father Unable to Prevent.
John Ennis, the father. stated that
Eddie Ennis. who was killed, was the
aggressor in the battle, and that the
killing occurred when both boys were
fighting desperately for their lives. The
father who is aged. stated that he was
powerIess to separate the boys after the
battle began. as he was afraid of being
gashed with the knife or hoe. The
mother of the boys is today in a pros
trated condition, under the care of a
physician.

Visit the Princess Palace.

The fisherboy expected to have diff
Guilty breathing under the water. This
had always been his experience hereto
fore. But he suffered no such thing.
They went fathoms deep and miles away
and finally came to the home of the
princess where the princess papa and
mamma and lot of little princesses and
princelings We're ready to welcome them.
The legend has Il wealth of detail that
can be served or omitted, according to
how near ready the infant auditor is for
his crib: but the upshot was that after
having a good time for a day or two the
iisherboy felt homesick and wanted to
go back.
The princess agreed to this readily
enough and gave him closed box. tell
ing him on no account to open 1t. but II
he wanted TO return 10 bring the box
down 10 the edge of the sea and every
thing would be All right.
So the turtle-taxi- was called again and
the boy started home. When he got
back to the site of the fishing village he
was surprised tn find big and populous
city. The people wore rather different
clothes and many of the words they used
were strange to him. but in general
way he understood their language. lie
did not know what to make of 1t and
tried to look up his family. but found
the last of the line had been buried sew
eral hundred years before.
Then he turned antiquarian IN good
earnest and found the cemetery where
his people were buried and among other
things tombstone to himself in memory
of his having been lost at sea about
1000 years previously. This was too
strong for him, so he wrote note to
the obituary editor complaining of the
inaccuracy The obituary editor replied
that he was printing daily paper and
not volume on ethnology, that the man
who wrote the article complained of had
gotten drunk and was fired, and had
died just 1850 years previous. They had
a fine system OF file clippings in those
days.

Found It Too Dry Ashore.

SO the fisherboy said it was too dry
ashore for him anyhow and started back.
He went with his closed box under his
arm to the edge of the sea and sat down,
but nothing happened. Finally, getting
impatient he decided to open the box
and see if there We're any sailing direc-
lions inside But this was where he
made his mistake. He had no sooner
opened the box than something came out
of it, but about what it was or what hap
pened the story is dreadfully indefinite.
OF course there is no Uncle Remus in
the japanese version of the Uncle Re-
mus stories. Uncle Remus was wholly
apochryphal person invented by the late
Joel Chandler Harris, while the stories
themselves, every southern child
knows are perfectly true. They are just
as good in Japanese as they are In any
other language. The essential features
are all there The Rabbit and the Fox
are the leading members of the cast. and
while the Fox is supposed by ignorant
grown-ups to be a very bright animal, he
never shows inside the money when he
gets up against the Rabbit. What the
Rabbit does to him on occasions is almost
too scandalous for even Japanese mythol-
ogy But the Fox is supposed to be
a potent wood deity among the adults
of Iapan and there are little Shrines
erected to him all through the forests
where he is propitiated by offerings of
cakes and meal in the season of the rice
harvest.
