Heirs Named in the Hood Estate.

Late on Saturday afternoon, June 18th,
few minutes before adjourning, the Or
phans' Court for Frederick county, pass
ed an order naming those who are ent-
tied to share as distributes in the resid-
uary estate amounting to about $4,000,
OF the late Margaret E. S. Hood and de-
termining the proportionate share of each
heir. There will be thirty three to share
in the resIduum, the court deciding, in
accordance with the direction contained
in the WILL that the first and second
cousins should inherit. the children of the
deceased first cousins taking the share Of
their parents. The court ruled against
the participation in the estate of Mrs.
Lillian r. Humphnes, of Frederick,
third cousin, deciding that third cousins
were not entitled to share in the estate
under the provisions. In the order
which was passed. the court also direct
ed that distribution be made, but refused
to incorporate in the order any direction
for immediate payment. 1t is under
stood, however, that payment of the dis
trlbutive shares to the residuary heirs
will be made as soon as possible, verv
probably within the coming week. The
amount of work necessary. such as pre-
pairing releases and checks and commun-
icating with some of the distributes,
who live at distance (there are several
in Massachusetts, and in California; will
require some time for distribution, prob
ably for week or more.

Lakeview Hotel Burns.

With more than two hundred people
gazing at the flames as they leaped from
one portion of the building to the other,
and the owner, Charles !. Ramsburg, in
Frederick, the Lake View Hotel, near
Lewistown, was Tuesday night burned to
the ground, entailing loss of more than
$4,000. The loss is practically covered
in the firm of Haller & Newman, insur-
ance agents, of Frederick.
About four years ago the Casino of the
Lake View property burned to the
ground, causing a loss of more than
SIS, 900. The building at that time, it is
reported, was not covered by insurance.
With the exception of the piano, furni-
ture from the first floor and large guam
tity of dishes, nothing was saved from
the building. Much of the property that
was taken from the building was broken
and badly damaged. The piano was con-
siderably damaged.
Mr.. Ramsburg had made all prepara-
tions for the opening of the hotel for the
summer the first of July. A number of
women and workmen had been at the
! hotel during the day completely over
/ hauling the building and getting things
into shape for the opening.
| No theory has been advanced for the
FIRE. Mrs. Ramsburg was the first to
notice the fire. She was returning from
Lewistown and saw light in the base
meat OF the building. AT first she thought
it was lamp light and later noticed that
the flare had grown considerably larger
and made an investigation. Two men
arrived with Mrs. Ramsburg.
Bells in the neighborhood were rung
and soon the entire section began to
swarm with people. When the first batch
of neighbors arrived at the building the
fire was canhned to the basement at one
end of the building 1t was reported that
little or no effort was made TO extinguish
the flames. A tank suspended over the
building, with hose attachment, was
| used with little result

NlVic league Through City Nurse
Calls Attention OF Public to Pathc.
tic Case.

~ very pitiful case has lately come
10 the attention of Miss Gibson, the
CITY nurse. 1t is that of a young
couple. the husband has devclopcd
tuberculosis, the wife is in very bad
health and they are absolutely with
out funds or means Of support. Since
the man has been without work, they
nave been living with the wife's peo-
pie In a small house where there was
bed-ridder grandmother. an invalid
aunt, numerous small children and
one woman who supported the whole
by her needle. There was no room
Tor the couple in this household and
SO, since the women of the Civic
League have looked into the case. a
mouse has been found and the two
moved into it. Her family are going
10 try and pay the rent for it. His
only relatives live in neighborinr
county and in that home there are
TWO cases of pellagra, so moving
them there was out of the question.
The man has not been ill long, so
with care and precaution there is
hope that he might improve and be-
come self-supporting. Meanwhile
many things are needed to keep this
little household alive. They must
nave groceries. food Of some kind;
fuel, sheets. blankets, or any heavy
covering for cold weather.
Will not the readers of The Item
look on this as an appeal from a case
which the Civic League has Investigate
ed and knows is deserving and give
some assistance? Miss Antonia Glib
son. City Nurse, Phone 391, will re-
ceive contributions Of the above asked
Tor articles or money, or will direct
anyone communicating with her as to
where to find tho couple to assist
them.

Chamber Of Commerce, which you
were good enough to send us, and

AVIATOR ROBBINS ARRESTED.
Is Fined for Speeding I'm Automobile
Says IL Was to Prevent Customer
From Delay.

Aviator f.. A. Robbins when tried
in the police court this morning for
speeding on Main street on Tuesday
afternoon in his automobile gave as
his novel excuse that he had custom
cr who wanted work on his machine
in Il hurry and he did not wish to de-
lay the customer any longer than alb
solutcly necessary. Needless to say
however, he had to pay a fine of $40
for speed in work on the car.
Aviator Robbins, since the outbreak
of the European wan has found such
q depression in financial circles that
he could not at this time succeed in
organizing a company to build aero
planes. He has as a means of a live
lihOOd, pending lcssening Of financial
depression, undertaken to operate the
Reliable Automobile Company, a work
in which he had been long engaged
before the desire to ascend in the
world fixed itself upon him, and he

On Tuesday afternoon when the
rush order on the car came, Mr.. Rob-
bins found it necessary to go to the
Jenkins Auto Supply Company store
for some auto parts. Twice he made
the trip between 4 and S o'clock to get
parts Of the machine. Policeman j.
ID. Chandler notified Mr.. Robbins later
on that he had violated the city or
dinance against speeding in making
one Of these trips and today Mr..
Robbins appeared before the record
or. The charge was exceeding the
speed limit in an automobile on Main
street between the hours Of and s
o'clock on Tuesday evening. Mr..
Robbins in reply stated that he re-
membered making two trips on this
part of the street at the time men,
toned, but stated that he was positive
that he had not gone over fifteen
miles an hour. He said that he re-
membered being In a hurry to get the
pieces for the work on machine at
his garage, but did not think that' he
went faster than machines custom
arily ran along this street. and if the
machines were timed, he thought that

every day. lie knew that he had not
Intentionally violated the ordinance,
he said. Policeman Chandler was
equally positive that automobile had
been going 25 to 30 miles an hour
and the recorder made the fine $40,
which Mr.. Robbins at once paid.
There were several other cases in
court also today. two being for un-
lawful storing of liuuor. the defend
ants fOrfeiting a bond Of $25 each, in
these cases. One case Was for viola
tion of the speed limit on a motor
cycle and one for failing to stop at

Pisgah, Sept. 23.-Cotton holding is
an established fact and properly so.
In every yard the cotton ginned is
there. Now there are two rights. the
farmer his has and it is his right not
to bankrupt himself for some one
else. / know Of no man who wants to

Will be no sale and that might lust as

The enlistment service now going on
in the kcrshaw Association is very in
tcresting and instructive. Groups of
three or four churches meet at the
central church and there the services
are held. The first meeting was at
Mt. Olivet church last Sunday. Ad-
dresses were delivered by Revs. w. T..

gregation was present. With the same

of them who helped Hampton, and
redeemed the State. Such talk as this
widens the chasm between the two
factions and will eventually result in
the forming Of two parties. The men
who voted against Smith are just as
fine citizens and patriotic as those who
voted for him, and to have slurs cast
against them for exercising their
right, places those who do it as be-
meath gentleman's notice. PoUock
