May Get Thirty Years.
Waynesboro Man Convicted Vi
Horse Stealing.
Horse Stealing.

Sharon Gauger was convicted of horse
stealing in the Cumberland county court
Monday afternoon after the jury had
been out fifteen minutes.
The jury retired at 2.45 and at 3 p. m.
it returned verdict of guilty on the
charge of stealing horse, buggy and
harness belonging to Carlisle man.
Gauger it will be remembered was
captured in mountain camp near Blue
Blazes, this county, in company with
John Toms notorious outlaw wanted in
three counties.
The capture was made by Patrolman
William Daywalt, of Waynesboro, assist
ed by two members of the Pennsylvania
constabulary and Deputy Lidie of this
place.
Toms, the worst of the two, succeeded
in eluding his pursuers in the underbrush
and is still at large.
Gauger claimed that he had not re-
turned from Elkhart, Ind, until two days
after the rig was stolen, but the finding
of the horse in the camp when the raid
was made together with the evidence
submitted left little doubt in the minds
of the jury as to Gauger's guilt.
Being an old offender, and having
served time for shooting man at the
Leland hotel, Waynesboro, several years
ago, Gauger will likely receive heavy
sentence. 1t will be possible, should the
court see fit, to give him 80 years in the
penitentiary.

From many places throughout this
State and also towns in Pennsylvania
come reports of very dry weather and
shortage of water.
High Run, the stream which supplies
Thurmont with water, is exceedingly
low, perhaps not worse than it has been
heretofore, but the supply is less for the
citizens of the town. Persons living on
Altamont avenue have at times, been
unable 70 draw water. The supply at
the reservoir has been almost nothing,
most all the water in the stream flowing
direct into the water main.
The water supply for the town has
been lessened by the Western Maryland
Railroad, its many engines which pass
here all receiving water from this same
stream. In case of fire in Thurmont
there would be no water for protection.
On Sunday last the pressure in the
water mains was not sufficient to run the
motors to which the organs in the Luth-
eran and Reformed churches are attached.
Water along the Western Maryland
Railroad has been very scarce. The
water supply at Sabilasville has given
out; the supply at Highfield very small,
and none at Edgemont. The water sup
piled to the railroad for engines at Hag-
erstown was shut off last Saturday, the
engines now getting water from the
Antietam river.
The supply of water in Hunting Creek
is still sufficient to run the motors of the
electric light plant several hours each
evening, the current being shut off be-
tween and 10 o'clock at night.

tents in the Dug Hill Company. His loss
included large quantity of hay, seven
shoats, lot of chickens and other arti-
cles of value. Two horses, and lot OF
valuable cattle owned by Mr. Reaver,
were fortunately saved, otherwise his
loss would have been much greater.
Mrs. Weaver's barn was insured in the
Dug Hill Company for $500, and her loss
also included a large lot of chickens.
Mrs. Grouse s ice house was uninsured;
her nearby barn was saved by the work
of the fremen.

building, lost number of new agricul-
tural implements, lot of dressed and
live poultry, and other items belonging
to the produce business, on which ne

roll County Company.
The buildings on the small farm of
Edward Hartman, on the keysville road,
about two miles from Taneytown, were
totally destroyed by fire about O'Clock
on Tuesday evening, Sept 9th, except
his new dwelling, which was badly scorch-
ed. The fire originated in the barn, from
some unknown couse, and rapidly COM
municated to the outbuildings and the
old dwelling. Very little of the contents
of the buildings were saved, among the
loss being several hogs.

Mr.. Dewitt T. Free, the principal
teacher and Miss Katherine Albaugh,
assistant, have broken the record this
wear in having sufficient number OF
scholars required to keep both teachers
on duty from the very first day, for IN
past wears the assistant lost a number OF
months due to not having the required
amount of scholars; but Mr.. Free and
Miss Albaugh both being hustlers have
overcome this trouble and have as large
a school in the beginning as generally
found in the winter months and better
discipline is being executed than in form
er years, and taken as whole we have
so far the most successful school in every
respect that has been taught here for
years. We hope the teachers will be
upheld in their good work by the parents.

Iprman;s and Bulgaria. The agree
mont was arrived at only after an
other exhibition of the utter helpless

Wednesday the discussions in the
mace conference threatened to be-
come interminable, but M. Majoresco,
the Rumanian premier and president
., the conference, clinched matters by
threatening that unless Bulgaria ac'
cepted the modified frontier proposed
nv the allies Rumania's army would
occupy Sofia next Saturday. This
threat had the desired effect and an
agreement was arrived at today az
ter numerous private consultations
between the delegates and four
hours sitting Of the conference.
New Frontier
The new frontier as agreed to
starts at h point on the old frontier

through the Struma valley to the Be-

its eventual revision by the powers.
1t is believed that an agreement for
the rehabilitation of the various ar
mics will be signed tomorrow. The
news that peace had been arranged
caused greet rejoicing here.
War Began July
The war between the Balkan allies
who has fought shoulder to shoulder
against Turkey began on July |. On
that date the Servian minister of the
interior declared that Serv was at
war with Bulgaria. On the same day
Greece also announced that state of
war existed, but did not make fo'-
nal declaration. Rumania declared
! war on July 10 and moved her troops
y over the Bulgarian frontier to occupy
the strip of territory from S listria
on the Danube to Varna on the Black
Sea- which she claimed lin order to
ire.establish the balance of power -
The trouble between the allies arose
from the difficulty of dividing the ter
ritory captured by them from Turkey.
Severe fighting followed and many
thousand men were killed or wound
ed. Soon after the beginning or hos
tilities numerous massacres and acts
of pillage were reported to have been
committed by the various armies.
The Montenegro troops never came
into action during the period Of hos
tilities, although they also were nom
inally at war with Bulgaria.
