At the Consulate Saturday Henry

nected with a factory that makes ice
making machinery. The factory is a
French concern, and this American
said that they had been obliged, in &C
cordance with cable instructions from
France, to discharge six hundred and
forty men. So much for the far

Of course, by the time you are read

Looking After Roads,

The County Commissioners visited in
Thurmont Tuesday of this week, the
object of their coming this way being to
look after county roads intersecting the
State Road.
The State is now repairing the pike
from Thurmont south, and some COM
plant has been made of the manner in
which certain water courses have been
changed.
At the crossroads south of town the
water for many years has been crossing
the pike and then following the pike
south for some distance, finally entering
and flowing over private property.
The contractor on the State Road has
changed the water course. A large pipe
has been placed across the pike and the
water directed down the county road
This road is low and the water would
follow the middle of the road. Property
owners objected as DO also the County
Commissioners. A meeting of the State
and County officials will be held to ad-
just the matter.

Asking For School Money.
County Commissioners Asked
TO Issue Bonds For ThurmOnt
High School Building.

The first move toward the floating of
the $780, 600 worth of bonds for the cree
ton of tho High School building at Thur
mont, as provided for by an act of the
last Legislature, was made Monday by
Superntendent-e elect of the Schools OF
Frederick County, G. Lloyd Palmer, who
went before the County Commissioners
and made the first official request for the
money.
1t is not known when the bonds will he
offered for sale. AS provided for by la W
the bonds must sell at par value. 1t is
not anticipated that there will be any
trouble on that score. The first school
bonds sold brought about l02, and it is
believed that these will sell for at least
par value.
The county commissioners will proba-
bly, fix the tax rate next Monday at their
regular weekly meeting. The basis of
the county has not yet been computed,
although the clerks are rushing the work
to finish as rapidly as possible. In
computing totals for Frederick district
alone, about 40 feet of tape from an adj
ding machine was used. These were on
~ totals of various pages. 1t is thought
that the basis will be completed by Sat
urday evening, and will be in readiness
for the commissioners for the Monday
meeting. Frederick Post.

against his father's estate represents the
amount of profits due him during long
term of partnership, Thomas c. Hays,
of Emmtsburg, has filed a suit in the
Orphans Court for Frederick county,

Hot Time At Yellow Springs.
Fist Fights, House Dynamited,
Joker Cigars.

Last week some fellow in the neighbor.
hood of Yellow Springs, near Frederick,
loaded cigar with dynamite cap anC
placed the cigar in the road where il
would be found.
John Fox, of that vicinity, came along
the road and seeing the nicely wrapped
cigar, picked it up, took it home and
then concluded to take smoke.
He had lighted the cigar and had begun
to enjoy its fragrance and was engaged
in taking it from his mouth when there
was an explosion. Had he had the cigar
in his mouth, he would in all probability
have been blinded, and perhaps killed.
AS it is, his face was badly lacerated
and the hand with which he held the
cigar was cut and torn in number of
places by the force of the explosion and
the wounds bled profusely.
DR.. U. G. Bourne, of Frederick. was
summoned and dressed Mr.. Fox's in
juries. 1t was found that about dozen
pieces of copper colored shell had been
blown into Mr.. Fox's hand and were ex-
tracted by DR.. Bourne.
The above happened last Thursday
evening. On Saturday night the home
of Chester Wiles, owned by his brother,
William Wiles, was dynamted while the
occupants were in Frederick, and on
Sunday 'free for-all" fight began in
a crowd of twenty-five in front of Chester
Wiles' home
1t was absolutely impossible to get
anything like concrete reason for the
feud. 1t is reported that several years
ago Robert l.. Tyler. father of Grafton
Tyler, had Chester Wiles arrested, and
since that time the two families have
been at odds. Both Wiles and Tyler de-
clared emphatically that the other was
the cause of the fight.
Chester Wiles and Grafton Tyler were
beaten severely about the head, and the
flesh was practically gnawed from one
of Wiles' fingers. Tyler is accused of
doing the gnawing. Robert Tyler, Alvey
Wiles and Charles Craver. it is said,
were also in the 'scrap" and with the
above were landed in Frederick Jail.
On Monday those arrested were given
a hearing before Justice Anders, who,
after hearing much testimony on both
sides. held the Tylers and Wiles men I'M
der bond of $50 each for their appear
ance before the grand jury.
1t is said that the Wiles house was bad
ly damaged by the explosion, and that
much of the furniture in the building is
damaged.
Sheriff Conard thinks he can detect
the party who is guilty of the dynamit-
ing.

There is saying that rapid eating is
slow suicide" If you have formed the
habit of eating too rapidly you are most
likely suffering from indigestion or con-
stipation, which will result eventually in
serious illness unless corrected Digest
ion begins in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insalivated.
Then when you have a fulness of the
stomach or feel dull and stupid after
eating, take one of Chamberlain Tab
lets. Many severe cases of stomach
trouble and constipation have been cured
by the use of these tablets. They are
easy to take and most agreeable in effect.

A Local Horse Trade.
Swap Made Sight Unseen
Everybody Happy.

In Thurmont, as in almost every other
place in the country, can be found PEG =
pie who deal in horses, and seldom it is
that someone does not have something,
just the thing the other fellow wants,
and is ready to swap. sell or deal off and
take chances in placing himself in the
profit or loss account column.
Last Saturday night Earl Young of
Graceham, young man who always has
something in horse flesh to swap or sell.
came to Thurmont and sought Mr.. CIV.
Lidie, liveryman, and also deputy sheriff,
and asked him if he did not have some
thing in his stable to swap, stating that
he had horse and would like to make a
trade.
Mr.. Lidie thought he had pretty good
lie of horses and would keep what he
had. Young was persistent, and about
eleven o'clock Lidie concluded he had
horse he would swap. Neither party
knew what the other had, but Young de-
manded $40 boot money. Lidie offered
IS, and after some argument the COM
promised, Young to get SO and horse
for his horse, and the boot money was
put in the hands of a third party.
Mr.. Young brought his horse into town
to the livery stable. Lidie Immediately
opened the stable door, and delivered to
Young an old saadler's horse and the
third party came across with the eight
dollars.
All parties concerned were all smiles
over the deal The young Graceham
man threw his old wooden horse in bug
gy and left for home. News of the deal
spread and many Graceham people were
anxious to see the new horse. Visitors
were taken to the stable and there in
stall they behed the old saddler's horse.
Mr. Young finally disposed of his horse
for $l.00
Mr.. Idle put his horse in the stable.
For looks, he was some horse, but other
wise, said to be exceedingly slow to un-
!erstand that he might have to move
Ne kept him until Monday, when he took
him out and snapped him off.
Not knowing how much money Young
paid for his horse, it is hard to figure his
deal, but after getting rid of his wooden
horse he had $500 After Lidie made
his second trade he has real live horse
the value of which depends upon how
bad some other fellow wants him. Pos
sibly S35 would get him new home.
If there are any old wooden horses
around the country, trot them in, Lidie
has no more in stock.
