ceived his appointment on February 2,
1914.

evening Of Sunday last on the farm OF
Thomas II. England, adjoining Rockville

through the farm and as one of the party

Williams cried out that she had been shot.
Soon afterward she was taken to George
town University Hospital, Washington,

that the wound would not prove fatal. The
ball entered her side. struck a rib, DETECTED
and lodged in the muscles of her back.
The shooting occurred near little house
occupied by Turner W. Welsh. salesman,
who is well known in this vicinity. Two
of Mollie Williams companions declared
that they had seen Welsh fire in their d.
rection, and on the strength of their state
ments Welsh was placed under arrest.
Upon being taken into custody, Welsh
declared that he had not seen the woman
or her companions and that he knew moth
ing whatever about the shooting. He adj
mitted, however, that he had fired his re-
volver to "tty it out" but he declared that
was earlier in the day.
Welsh was released on bail of $1,000
on Tuesday and hearing will be given
him on the 10th of September. when, it is
supposed, the Williams woman will be
able to appear in court. as she continues

in 1928. during Madison's administration,
when the Monroe doctrine was first brought
to the attention Of the European countries,
and when the Congress Of the United

the subject Of this sketch lived to the ripe
age Of 81 years. Reared during slave times,
his life stretched over and beyond the lives
Of most of the prominent citizens in this
community who have long since passed

late Sam'l 7. Stonestreet. under whose own

which gave him distinction among his
race. He was employed at the Klein

Of years, where he filled position of trust
and confidence. and il was about this time
the writer first became acquainted with
him. Uncle" Reuben was an honest old
darkey and knew his place. And while he
possessed these characteristics, he was
most familiarly known in this community

funerals, where he received persons with
that old-fashoned, courteous bow. so typi-
cal Of the old Southern plantation dar-

lived to an old age, having gained the re-
spect and confidence Of both races in this
