Officer Arrested: His Fine Is $3. 10.

We had very much of an excitement,
writes Boonsboro correspondent, in our
bustling and busy little hamlet the other
day, but it all passed off pleasantly and
without boodshed. Our police force and
chief is Mr.. Harry Smith, very cordial
officer. Yet he has his recreations, too.
Last Thursday he inhaled some hard
cider and went on duty on the corner,
we'll pleased with the landscape and him
self. He stood there Wig ilantly watching
for some breach of the public peace,
when terrible thing happened. 1t was
the mayor, Mr.. Roudabush, walking
forth on his hourly rounds to see if every
body was obeying the law AS he passed
down, peering about, this fell on his at
tentive ear:
Dang it!
The Mayor stopped and listened at
tentiveIy. The remark sounded like foul
and indecent language. BY observing
that there was no one else on the street
but himself and the officer of the law he
assumed that the oath came from on the
corner. But he fingered.
Gosh blast it.
There it was again. The Mayor was
shocked. Here was language not only
blasphemous, indecent and profane, but
loud and noisy. He arrested the officer.
The latter protested about leaving his
beat but the Mayor was firm. A silent
and awed throng gathered. The coloquy
was brief. The force begged to be al
lowed to stay on his beat. Something
fierce might happen; disorders may occur;
robbers may leap in and disturb the peo-
pie, he pleaded The Mayor said sternly:
Let US proceed.
Once in his Office the Mayor committed
the prisoner to Officer Smith and mount
ed his throne.
The fine, he announced, amid the APP
paling silence, is 49, 10, the regular Hag-
erstown rate.
The prisoner quailed. Can't you make
it the ordinary Boonsboro rate? he asked.
The Mayor said: Impossible. Your
language beside being scandalous, pro-
fame ard indecent broke nearly four of
the ordinances in this book, and at that
he slammed on the desk the weighty
tones that enfold the laws of Boonsboro.
The prisoner meekly paid and went
forth to see that the law breakers of the
city were duly awed and held in control.

Great Array of Legal Talent at Fred

Great Array Of Legal Talent at Fred
| erick Court.
On Tuesday of this week the cases of
the five trainmen of the Western Mary
land Railroad was opened in the Freder-
ick county court. AS will be remember
ed great amount of stealing from pack
ages in transit on the Western Maryland
had been going on and about six months
ago five trainmen were arrested and
charged with larceny. Four of the men
gave bond but the fifth has been in Jail
awaiting trial. When the cases came up
Tuesday morning at Frederick, eleven
attorneys, 9 for the accused and for the
State, were in court. Much time was
consumed in getting jury and 36 men
were examined before a jury was finally
selected.
The case of Liar, the man who has
been in Jail, was called. 1t was in the
Liar home that numerous articles sup
posed to have been stolen from the cars,
was found. After hearing the testimony
the jury returned verdict of not guilty.
1t is doubtful if the other men will be
given trial.
Case Decided.
Wednesday afternoon of last week the
entire time of the court was taken up
with the case of Mrs. George M. Eichel-
berger, Jr.. against Messrs. Fred. Fisher
and Charles H. Krise which was tried be-
fore jury.
The suit is for digging we'll on the
premises of Mrs. Eichelberger. 1t ap-
pears that we'll was wanted on the pro-
perty, which is in the wife's name, and
she wanted her husband to dig the we'll.
He did not relish this, and contracted
with Messrs. Fisher and Krise. The wife
refused to pay the bill, although the hus-
band paid part, and promised to pay the
remainder as soon as possible. Suit was
brought to compel the wife to pay the
bill and she took an appeal.
The jury returned verdict for her,
claiming she was not responsible for
cbts contracted by her husband
Stoner and Weinberg represented Mrs.
Eicheiberger.

CHIEF JUSTICE OF GREAT STATE DECLARES FOR THE
RECALL OF JUDGES

The makers of the constitution
and of our early state constitu-
tions7were able men, but however
able they were they could not an
ticipate or solve the new problems
of life and government which
have upon us in the last half cen
fury.
They built wisely for the CON
ditions then existing; their great
aim was to protect the rights and
Liberties of the Individual citizen;
they emphasized wider freedom
because life was then essentially
the Individual life.
But as individual life has more
and more given birth to crowded
community life, the rights and
privileges once deemed essential
to the perfect liberty of the I'M
dividual are often found to stand
in the way of public welfare and
to breed wrong and injustice, to
the community at large.
In a word, the impervious and
complex problem of great cities
have come suddenly upon a peo-
pie whose fundamental law was
designed for a rural or semi-rura1
state.
