KRAUsE WAS SHOT BY HIS
FRIEND, WHO IS NOW SORRY
Washington Barnard, of Bloomington,
Blazed Away, Mistaking His Man.

Frank Arause, aged SO years, of
Bloomington, Md, is in the Western
Maryland Hospital at Cumberland to
which place he was taken early Sunday
morning, with a bullet in his right
shoulder, the wound having been in
fiicted by his friend, Washington
Barnard, of Bloomington. on Saturday
shortly before midnight.
The shooting appears to have been
the result of mistaken identity, and was
not because of any ill-feeling. Krause
was on his way home to the boarding
house kept by the father of the man
who shot him, and who resided next
door. Hearing some voices in Bar
nard's house Krause stopped and
knocked at the door. He states that
after short time the door was thrown
open and Barnard raised his revolver
and fired. Barnard it is said, asked
who was at the door, and not receiving
a reply he drew a revolver and opened
the door. He SAID the man at the door
raised his hand and thinking he was
going to shoot or assault him, Barnard
blazed away with his revolver.
Both men were very sorry about the
affair, and so far Barnard has not been
placed under arrest. DR.. H. NJ. Kemp
dressed the wound on Krause's shoulder.

WEST VIRGINIA WINS IN
BOUNDARY LINE CASE:
Supreme Court Sustains Commission
In Fixing State Line.

The last chapter of the famous boun-
dairy controversy between Maryland and
West Virginia was written Monday
when the United States Supreme Court
sustained the majority Of the boundary
commission and definitely fixed the line
which is to divide the two States. The
courts opinion was another victory for
West Virginia.
More than year ago the court rem
dered a decree in the case, and while it
was supposed at the time to be equally
favorable to the two States the later
perusal of the courts opinion indicated
that West Virginia had got the better of
the long fight. When the decree was
entered the court appointed a commits
sion of three to make the decision eff
fective.
This commission, composed of w. Nc
Culloh Brown, representing Maryland;
j. X. Monroe, representing West Vir-
ginia, and Samuel s. Gannett, repre-
senting the United States Geological
Survey, spent year surveying the dis
puted territory and in fixing the boun-
Diary in accordance with the findings of
the court originally. The commissions
report was filed with the court and de-
INJURED to by Mr.. Brown on the part of
Maryland.
The exception taken by the Mary
lander resulted in a reopenlng of the
case. The Geological Survey expert
had sided with the West Virginians.
The Supreme Court upheld the majority
of the commission and ordered that the
line be fixed in accordance with their
views.
In its brief review of the case the
court announced that the disputed part
of the boundary would run from Dea-
kins, on the old State line, along the
south bank of theINorth BrAr Oh of the
Potomac river, to the Pennsylvania line.
The court also stated that the ex-
penses of the commission amounted to
SIT, 154. Under the rulings each State
is to bear half the total cost of the sur
veys and other work in connection with
the exception Of the final decree.
The Mary land-Wes Virginia boun-
dairy dispute dated from the erection of
the latter State. The change in the
course of the Potomac river caused the
old line to be obscured, and several
thousand acres of land was involved in
the controversy

MOTOR CYCLE GETS
BEYOND CONTROL.
Rider in the Person of Mr.. Bowie
Johnson, Painfully Injured.

MIR. Bowie johnson received a few
days ago a new motor cycle and on Sat

about town for an hour or two thinking
he had mastered the mode of handling

Frank Selby and Mr.. S. H. Jackson,
mounted upon their machines, started
out the State road. At the top of Kings
hill, two or three miles from town, Mr..
johnson lost control of the machine he
was riding and it plunged forward down
the steep hill at speed. estimated at
forty miles an hour. Seeing that he
was about to plunge into the retaining
wall on culvert near the bottom of the
declivity Mr.. Johnson jumped from the
machine and striking upou his shoulder
and face broke his collar bone and re-
celyed other more or less painful in
juries.
He was soon brought back to town
where his injuries were dressedIby Dr..
Broadwater and he is now resting as
comfortably as it is possible for one who
has had like experience. Mr.. Johnson's
escape from even more serious injury is
remarkable and he is to be congratulate
ed.
His motor machine was very slightly
damaged.
