THE CHESTNUT BARK DISEASE on
CHESTNUT BLIGHT
State Forester Besley's Advice to
Owners Of Chestnut Timber.


The chestnut bark disease appears to
be as destructive this summer as last, so
there is little hope Of saving The chestnut
timber in regions where general infection
has taken place. This is particularly true
il the northern half of Baltimore, Har-
ford and Cecil counties Owners Of
Chestnut timber should FIRST be certain to
what extent the disease ia prevalent in
their woodlands and where many trees
are diseased in woodlot the best plan
viii be to dispose of the chestnut as
rapidly as possible before more of the
trees die. and there is further loss. This
disease which is caused by parasitic
fungus works just beneath the bark,
killing the tree, but it does not injure the
wood for any purpose If the tree is cut
before it is killed or Immediately after
ward. The presence ofthe disease. which
affects only the chestnut, is indicated by
the dying Of twigs or branches in full
leaf. AT the base of the dead portion of

smooth, reddish brown lesion extend
ing completely around the branch and
the surface covered with pustules about
the size Of pin heads. These are the
fruiting bodies Of the fungus. Where
the lower portion of the tree is diseased,
these pnstules APPEAR in the crevices of
the bark and the bark underneath will be
dead.
This is the most serious tree disease
that has ever appeared in the State and
no practicable remedy for its control has
been found. When it becomes establish
edin wood lot. the chestnut should be
utilized as soon as possible to prevent
loss. II should be remembered, however,
that only the chestnut is attacked by this
disease and timber owners need not feel
called upon to sacrifice other kinds OF
trees because Of the probable loss of the
chestnut.

GRAND JURY RETURNS
TRUE BILL AGAINST RICH

The grand jury, In session Friday
afternoon, returned true bill
against Lawrence b. Rich, charging
him with polygamy, upon which
charge he will now have to stand trial
before the circuit court of this coun-
~.
Miss Layton. Mrs Rich No. ., who
was married to Rich in this city in
February of the present year. was
before the grand jury this afternoon,
and Immediately following her exam
ination by the jury, the indictment
was returned. Other matters that
made the case against the Jew shoe
merchant pretty convincing in the
public mind, aud which were also
probably considered by the grand
jury, were the telegraphed statement
of Rabbi Levy who performed the
ceremony marrying Lawrence b. Rich
and Norma Cohen in San Francisco
in 1907, and the report of the coun-
ty clerk regarding the issuance of
the marriage license.
Rich will be arraigned before the
court at once, although It is probable
that the trial of the case may so over
to the next term of the court to give
time to bring witnesses from dis
tance. Bonds were placed by the
court. at the suggestion of the pro-
scouting attorney, at $1,000.
Rich is still in Jail, bonds not hsy-
ing been given.

&. \. BALDWIN FIRED SHOT THAT
srRUCK BELDlNG.
32-4O WINCHESTER USED
says He Wanted To Mark Automobile.
But Did Not Wish Ia lniure
Occupants.

The shot that struck Don Belding
in the thigh while he and eight other
high school boys were out for a JOY
ride in Gamers big Cadillac auto
mobile Thursday night was fired by
G, A. Baldwin, a farmer and wood
cutter who lives along the Pacific
Highway two miles southeast Of the
city.
Baldwin admits having fired one
shot from a S2-4Q Winchester at the
rctreating auto. his story of the af-
fair being as follows:
The Baldwin family was just ready
TO sit down TO the supper table when
three shots We're fred in rapid sue
cession from an auto directly in front
cf the house. Mrs. Baldwin, who is
in a highly nervous condition, was
ta.own into nervous ft by the
shooting, and Baldwin, noting the
effect on his wife. reached for the
rifle and fired one shot at the auto
which had then reached a distance of
$50 to 800 yards from the Baldwin
house. One cartridge only was in
the rife, or Mr. Baldwin says that 1t
is more than likely that other shots
would have been fred. He main
tains that he had no intention of
hitting the occupants of the machine,
but did wish to mark the car so he
would know it later. He claims that
Ithe family has been pestered by pass
ing automobllists until he was no
longer able to control himself He
believed that the occupants Of the
car were shooting at his dog. which
was in the front yard, though he does
not positively affirm this.
Immediately after the shooting,
| Mr.. Baldwin says he noted the car
turn and run toward Grants Pass
though he did not know what the
effect of the bullet fred had been or
whether or not 1t had struck the ma
chine. Mrs. Baldwin was still In a
serious condition and DR.. Smith was
summoned from town to attend her,
and It was the next day before the
Baldwins knew Of the result of Mr..
Baldwin's craftsmanship
The nine boys all maintain that
the shots they fired were at rabbits
along the roadside, and that they
were not aware Of the proximity Of
the Baldwin house. They deny hay-
ing fired at any dog turing the even
ing aad did not hear the shot from
Baldwins rife, knowing nothing Of
liz till Belding called out that he was
wounded. Then the boys believed
for a time that it must have come in
some manner from the revolver car
ried in the car
There is a state law prohibiting
shooting along the public highway.
though it is a law that has been
pretty generally violated by parties
who were out, especially on moon-
light evenings, who shoot at the
many rabbits that scurry along in
front Of the lights.
No action has yet been taken
against either Mr.. Baldwin for TAX
ing the shot at the passing auto or
the boys who did the shooting on the
public road, and it is not known
whether the authorities will institute
proceedings or not.
Don Belding, the injured lad, Is
progressing fayorably, and will not
be long in the hospital The eight
boys who we're in the car with hin
are arranging to pay the hospital ex.
penses.
