PROVING GROUND AWARDS.
Over So, 900, 900 Paid To Land Own
ers In Baltimore and Hartford
Counties.

The Bureau of Ordnance of the
War Department has made public
the awards of the joint civil and
military commission appointed by
the Secretary of War to fix the
amounts of money which the Gov
ernment would allow the land own
ers and tenants in Baltimore and
Hartford Counties whose property
has been taken in the establishment
of the artillery proving ground.
This award shows that approx
mately $3,325,00 will be paid to the
land owners in these counties for
their lands and the improvements
and that about $4,000 in addition
will be paid to tenants. for their
crops and other losses sustained.
This is considerably less than was
presumed to be the value of the
lands now occupied by the Govern
ment at the time the Aberdeen Prov
ing Ground was located. At that
time it was estimated by the citizen
committees which went to Washing
ton that the sum would be between
$5,OOO,00O and 0,000,0O0.
If any land owner is dissatisfied
with the amount of his award, he has
the privilege of contesting it before
the United States District Court in
Baltimore. Meantime he may re-
ceive two-thirds of the amount
which the Government commission
has fixed.
1t was explained by the Bureau of
Ordnance that the figures given out
include improvements as we'll as the
lands involved. For that reason a
small acreage might show a higher
price allowed than large acreage
where buildings appear on the one
and not on the other. The largest
award is that to John Cadwalader,
who is given 100000. Charles W.
Baker is allowed the second largest
sum of $25O,000.

Leonard Price, aged "a years,
whose home was at Churchville,

from the National Army, was shot
and killed Thursday afternoon OF

ground, was arrested and placed in
the guardhouse. He managed to
escape in a few hours, but was de-
tected by the guards as he was run
ming away from the building. Pay
ing no attention to several orders to
halt, the guards fired over his head
in an effort to stop him, but he con-
tinued running. Another volley was
sent after him and the fugitive fell
dead.
The fatal shot entered through
the neck of Price, passing through
the head and coming out the mouth.
The body was carried to the guard
