DR.. Herring\ Pays Montevue 6
Visit.

Dr. A. p Herring, secretary of the
State Board of Lunacy, and DR.. Purnell
and Dr. Duncan Sunday made trip OF
inspection to Montevue in order to visit
and examine the ia insane patients now
confined there. The physicians were
shown through the institution by DIR. c.
F. Goodell, at present the physician at
Montevue.
DIR. Goodel stated that the primary
purpose of DIR. HerringS visit to Monte
vue was to make Inspection OF the in
mates of the institution. Cards for the
various patients were brought along bv
Dr. Herring and each person was seen
BY DIR. Herring and his or her condition
noted. These records we're taken by
him for his office.
When asked if DR.. Herring said any,
thing about removing the patients from
Frederick county, DR.. Goodell stated
Dr. Herring had informed him that the
State Boald of Lunacy was ready to
care for the patients at the State institu-
ton, just as soon as the members of the
Board of County Commissioners request
ed it,
Dr. Goodell was also asked if DIR. Her
ring had stated whether he was favorable
to The bill which has been introduced In
the Senate, providing for pay to Freder-
lck county of any expense incurred by
the county above SIoo per patient per
year, in caring for the insane here. DR..
Goodell stated he had not asked the
question, but said, II consider that Dr.
Herring dropped hint that we would
have hard time getting this bill
through" DIR. Goodell stated Dr. Her
rings expression was rather vague, and
he did not question him further, but said
he had the matter fixed in his mind that
Dr. Herring is opposed to the passage OF
this law. For the past two years Fred
erick county had such law and has
drawn, or will draw. from the State about
| SET. 1000 by reason of it.
Superintendent Gregg, of Montevue,
when seen stated that he considered the
| trip of DR.. Herring as one of inspection.

..Rascally Trick" Judge Thought.

''Rascally Trick" Judge Thought.
81 felt at first that it was a rascalIy
trick. that he ought not to be allowed to
get away with, " said Judge Peter in de-
livering his opinion on the motion for
new trial in the suit against John c.
Brensle, real estate agent, for alleged
fraud, but after more deliberation |
have come to the conclusion that the
transaction was within the bounds of
the law"
Brengle was accused of fraud in a
transaction surrounding a note that he
had given to Mr.. HORNE and on which
Mr.. Gitunger was eudorser Brenele
rendered a check in payment OF the note,
dating the check several days ahead,
and declaring that he would have funds
in the bank on that date, sufficient to
pay the check. The check was accepted,
and Brengle promptly tore up the note,
which was the only evidence on indebted
ness. When Brengles checl3 was pre-
sented at the bank for payment there
We're not sufficient funds to his credit to
pay il, and suit was filed against him and
Mr. Gittinger as surety.
The court held at that lime, that
although the transaction had shady
look, the destruction OF the note had
made the rendition of a judgment impos-
sible, especially against a surety, and the
suit was decided in favor ofthe defendant.
Edgar H. Mcbride and George A.
Pearre, attorneys for Mr. Horine, filed a
motion for new trial, which Judge
Peter oVerruled on Monday.
III the plaintiff chose to give up the
note that he held and accepted worth
less paper in Its place" SAID Judge Pc.

to look after his interests He had a
good note and he had Mr., ,Gittinger as
surety. If MIR HORNE chose to give that
note up to surrender Gittinger's surety.
ship, he hada right to do it, and if he
took check payable five DAYS after it
was dated, he simply agreed to accept
the promise of the maker of that check to
paw it afterwards. The quality of the
is never judged by its duration"
Hon. Milton G.. .Urner represented
Messrs. Gittinger and Brengle.

LeGore May be Paid for Bridge

If the bill, which Markell n. Nelson in
troduced Monday, by request, becomes a
law, the County Commissioners of Fred
erick County will be instructed to reim-
burse James w. LeGore for the construc-
ton of a stone bridge and about six miles
of modern road in the northern part OF
Frederick county.
Delegate Nelson introduced the bill by
request and by the consent Of the Freder-
ick county delegation. Also by request
the bill was referred TO the Frederick
county delegation, and the future of the
measure depends largely upon the action
of the delegation. Delegate Nelson said
that he had nothing to say concerning
the measure but would be wiling to
stand by the action of the committee or
the delegation on the matter.
1t is claimed that this bridge and links
of roads, equaling about six miles, were
built about seven years ago and now sup
ply the needs Of an extensive territory,
which is located south and southeast Of

Compromise Near in Land Dis
pute.

The Evangelical Lutheran church OF
Frederick, which holds 400 acres OF waltz
bic mineral and timber land in Garrett
county. and which it has paid taxes upon
for years, and which was claimed under
a State grant or patent, given several
years ago to Messrs. +. A. Thayer. Ed
ward II. Siucell and John I. Mitchell,
will hold full and undisputed title to the
land, under terms of a compromise which
has been accepted by the special commit
tee of the Lutheran church, subject to
confirmation by congregational meet
ing to be held next Monday evening.
On Saturday morning, Charles I. X.
Young, chairman of the committee rep
resenting the church, received from
Messrs. Thayer. Sincell and Mitchell. a
letter agreeing to drop all claims TO the
land, if the congregation would III turn
allow them the right to build private
railroad across the land to reach valua-
BILE timber tract, which lies just south Of
the tract owned by the church. Mr..
Young stated that the gentlemen agreed
TO allow the church the right to the use
of the railroad, subject to certain restrlc-
tionS. There is also a rumor that the
three gentlemen agree to pay the church
s., 500 for the timber right, but when Mr.
Young was asked il this was true stated
that concerning the money" | cannot
talk, as the committee feels that this is a
matter which should first go TO the mem
bers of the Lutheran congregation.
Mr. Young stated that personally he
feels that the terms of the contract are
very liberal. In the first place it settles
for all time the ownership and title to the
land and secures for the church consid-
erable value.
Harry w. Bowers. of Frederick, who
is thoroughly familiar with lumber values,
in 1907, made an INSPECTION of the prop
erty. He stated that, roughly speaking.
he believed that there was 81, 900 worth
of lumber on the tract at that time was
filled with logs, which had been cut and
peeled. He stated he has been told that
these logs have been taken away, prob
ably stolen, as the church never received
anv revenue from them.
The land is claimed 10 be underlaid
with coal, but how extensive these de
posits are, cannot be learned. 1t is
stated that the railroad is now being con-
structed through the land, and that some
coal has been encountered, and is being
used by the contractor for the purpose of
operating the engines used in the road
building.
