Marlboro Sheriff Protects Colored
Man Accused of Horse Stealing.

Special Correspondence OF Ine star.
UPPER MARLBORO, August Ia
Two guards were on duty in the county
Jail last night to protect Charles Davis
colored. alleged horse thief. Sheriff
Hardy was told of a report that a
lynching had been talked of because
of the bad treatment to which the
prisoner was said to have subjected a
horse that belonged to Bruce Buck, a
resident of Queen Anne district.
The animal died In Washington, it is
stated, from i'll treatment and starva-
ton. Sheriff Hardy heard that the
talk about lynching was started by a
man who probably had been imbibing
too freely, and, although he did not
believe there was any danger, he took
precautions.
Davis will be arraigned before Jus
tice Of the Peace j. Alfred Ridgley
Tuesday for a preliminary hearing He
denies the charge. 1t is probable that
witnesses will be brought from Wash
