Jack Horner a Reality.

Few people know that the nursery
legend of Little Jack Horner" con-
ceals real tragedy. At the reforma-
ton the chief of an abbey in the west
of England resolved to surrender and
in token thereof to send the deeds Of
the religious house to Henry VIII. at
Whitehall For security's sake the
abbot placed the documents in a pie
dish and covered them with crust.
The dish. without saying word about
the contents. he gave to a lout. Jack
Horner, with instructions to carry It
by road to the king in London. About
halfway Jack Horner became raven
GUS and came to the conclusion that 1t
was foolish of him to starve While he
was the custodian of q pie. So be
broke the crust and put in his thumb
and pulled out-a roll Of parchments!
The disguised Jack Horner chucked
the lot into an adjacent brook. The
1onarrival of the deeds caused Bluff
King Hal to suspect the abbot OF con-
tumacy. 30 his majesty commanded
that the poor cleric should be hanged

William Ridenour Arrested.

Monday, United States Deputy Mar
shall Brown reached Woodstock on
the afternoon train, hired carriag-
and with deputized officer left for
Trout Run Valley, W. Va, where they
captured William Ridenou:, aged 10
years, charged with illicit manufac
ture and sale of intoxicants. Officer
Brown captured young Ridenour dur
ing the night at the Rldenour home
and returned to Woodstock Tuesday
at 1890 P. M. and left with his pris-
oner on the APO train for Martins
burg, W. Va.
Young Ridenour is a son of T. A.
Ridenour, who only two months ago,
was taken to Martinsburg on a SINH
lar charge but not having sufficient
evidence to warrant holding him for
the grand jury he was released.
The Senior Ridenour is considered
one of the best informed men in the
State on the revenue laws, baving
evaded the law GA the closet margin
each time he was caught. Toe officers
feel sure they have suffi ,ient evidence
to convict young Kidenour.
T. A. Ridenour, the father of Will
liam, some years ago figured .promi-
nently in a noted criminal case in
Frederick county. Mr.. Broy held a
note against said Ridenour, some
dispute arose over the note and when
Mr.. Broy was last seen alive he was
in the company of Ridenour. After
having disappeared from the face of
the earth for time, his body was
found later in forest covered with
leaves and brush. Ridenour was
granted three trials, thel first two he
was convicted of first degree murder
and was sentenced to be hung. He
was granted third trial and by a
Clarke county jury was acquitted.
William r. Alexander defended
Ridenour and Hon. R. E. Byrd was
at that time Prosecuting Attorney for
Frederick county.
