this city his headquarters for year
As soon as Mr.. Pruitt was made gen
eral agent for Oklahoma he decided
TO make Ardmore his headquarters
and he tells an interesting story OF
why he selected this city. In the ear
ly days Of the town when Judge John
l.. Gait served as mayor and police
judge combined Mr.. Pruitt and wife
were here on short visit. He was
reared on a ranch and knew little
except ranch life until he married an
educated, refined woman who taught
he soon became Interested in the Bi-
BILE and entered the ministry as
Christian preacher. Accompanied by
his wife he visited may cities, where
open air meetings were held. He ad-
vertIsed his meetings by posting cir
culars in which he stated he would
ride bareback and without bride any
animal that was brought to him and
after the rough riding he would
preach sermon. The riding con
test drew great crowds OF spectators
and on the occasion Of his visit to
Ardmore he overheard man make
an uncouth remark to his wife. What.
ever touched his wife WAS of supreme
interest to the preacher as the woman
had led him to a better life and had
made him what he was. The old
ranch spirit rose in his bosom when
lie heard the remark and without
saying a word he approached the ruff
fian and they went round and round
in "A fistic encounter. When he had
pounded the fellow until he promised
to lead better life the preacher was
taken before Judge alt. Prutt told
the Judge he lad violated the law
and was willing to pay the price. The
Judge. after hearing the preachers
story, shook his hand and told him
he was his kind of people and dismiss.
ed the charge against him. The
preacher after that remembered Ard
more and remembered Judge Gait and
upon his first opportunity came here
to make his home. Mr. Pruitt lost
his wife eleven years ago and he is
here this time without a family.
Mr. Pruitt states that there are
more than a million of acres in the
King Ranch property which has been
divided into small farms and are
being sold to individual farmers
The town of Kingsylle is located
twelve Mills from the coast where
great fruit and vegetable crops are
raised. Cabbage and onions are
growing cine now and will be ready
to ship to the northern mark,ts with.
ia few weeks. He says the country
is being settled very fast and prices
of land are increasing.

An accident occurred on the Western
Maryland railroad two miles west Of
Thurmont and just east of the High
Bridge Monday night of this week.
The through freight train bound for
Baltimore had just passed over the bridge
and out of the rock cut when a heavy
refriger ator car loaded with pork sides
jumped the rail, cleared the track and
went rolling down the $50 foot embank-
ment to the bottom of the ravine. The
train was composed of eleven cars and
the one going off was eighth from the
engine. None of the other cars were de-
rallied.
There were Is tons of pork in the car
packed in ice, and as the car went down
the bank it swept trees and everything
from its path. The car remained intact,
only the trucks were lost from it and re-
manned on the side of the mountain.
On Tuesday the wreck crew and other
employees of the road went to where the
car was, opened it and transferred the
contents to another car, Messrs. William
Eigenbrode, Michael Willhide and John
Myers hauling the meat some distance in
farm wagons
No reason can be given why the car
left the rail, and it is mystery that
other cars did not follow it down the
bank.

Bomb Stirs Frederick.

A half gallon glass jar, containing a
dry cell battery, surrounded by powder
and connected with wire to the works
of clock, exploded with terrific force
at o'clock Monday morning in field
adjoining Clark Place, fashionable res
idental section.
Pinned to the ground few feet from
the bomb was muslin banner, contain
ing the words "Votes for Women"
The report was heard for some distance
and caused considerable excitement. The
glass was blown to fragments, pieces
being picked up 20 to 30 feet away. The
battery, wire and clock were hurled a
short distance, the clock being shattered
and the battery blistered from the effects
of the heat.
The explosives were put together in a
manner that indicated accurate knowl-
edge.
About three weeks ago mysterious
explosion occurred in field adjoining
Rockwell Terrace, another residential
section. A tin can was used this time,
but the force of the explosion was 50
great that nothing was left of the ma
terials used
Monday mornings explosion was about
800 feet from residences on Clark Place.

FOREST FIRES TO BE REPORTED
BY RURAL MAIL CARRIERS.

The official Postal Guide for May
calls the attention of postmastcrS and
rural carriers to an order of the Post
Office Department that the carriers
report to the proper authorities all
forest fires detected along their routes.
This order was issued at the request
Of the Secretary of Agriculture.
For several years in some sections
of the country Il sort of informal UNI
derstanding has existed between Ma
tional Forest rangers and mail car
ricrs with the idea of securing IN
creased fire protection. The marked
effectiveness of this cooperation was
a strong argument in favor OF its cN-
tension and official santion, and was
in part responsible for the request Of
the Secretary of Agriculture which
resulted in the order by the Post
Office Department.
The plan is for the carrier to re-
port fire to the nearest forest officer
on his route, or, if no officer lives ON
the route, to have him notified by
some responsible citizen. State and
national foresters are supplied with
post road maps and with postal guides
containing the addresses of the differ
ent postmastcrs. The postmastcrs
in turn are supplied by the forcSterS
with the names, actresses and telc-
phone call numbers of forest officers
residing on or near the carriers
routes.
Cooperation between rural carriers
and federal forest officers will take
place in Florida, Arkansas, South
Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Montana,
Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Cal
ifornia. Cooperation with State
officers is given in all the New Eng
land States, and in New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Cal
ifornia, all these States have estab-
lished fire protective systems.

THURSDAY, MAY 90. 1913.
Arrested For Forgery.

Charged with the embezzlement OF
81, 200 and the forgery of 81 900, Edward
H. Rowe. former burgess of Emmitsbnrg
was on Saturday last arrested by Con-
stable Chester Hauver and committed to
Jail in default of 50, 200 bail imposed by
Justice Marion C. Miller, of Woodsboro.
He was later relea sed on a writ of habeas
corpus by Judge Worthington. who fixed
his bail at $500 for further hearing on
Thursday of this week.
The charges date back to 1906, when
Rowe and Mrs. Martha Hoppe were CO.
administrators of the estate of the late
Reuben Morrison 1t is alleged that he
forged the mark of Mrs. Hoppe to pa
per and by this means secured $1,000 90
The writs were sworn out Saturday by
Mrs. Hoppe.
Rowe declares the charges are with
out foundation and were trumped up be-
cause of bad feeling between himself
and Justice Miller He said the estate
in question has long been settled and the
settlement ratified by the court having
jurisdiction. He said he was not allow
ed to have hearing in Emmitsburg,
where he could have secured bail. but
was compelled to go with the constable
to Woodsboro, IS miles distant and was
given no opportunity to secure bail. He
says he will be able TO disprove the
charges at the hearing.
About a month ago, while Mr., Rowe
was burgess of Emmitsburg, he had
clash with Constable Hauvcr and Justice
Miller over the ejectment of j. w.
Breichner, proprietor Of the Sagle Hotel.
Mr.. Rowe was arrested and placed in
Jail. He was soon afterward released
and several days later sued Hauver and
Miller for $1,000 damages each. The
case is docketed for the next term of
court. Since the trouble Mr.. Rowe was
defeated for reelection by Burgess Mat
