The next morning Brousseau struck
his first blow. Hilary had Just or.
dered the rig In order to drive over to
Leblanc's lease and try to stop the
operations about the Chateau when
Leblanc appeared In the ONCE, accom-
panied by four rufiians whom Hilary
recognized as the subjobbers.
"Well. Leblanc?" asked Hilary.

He clapped on his hat and. as II
they had rehearsed the scene, the four
ruffians followed Leblanc In solemn
and triumphant parade across the
door and out Of the ofiice.
This was first blood with q ven.
geance. Leblanc's lease was q necesl
sity; It meant money. and money Just
when his capital would be exhausted.
II was essential to sub-lease the tract
to some one else. But there was no
one In st. Boniface capable Of assum-
Ing charge Of such a contract. The
habitants had no heads for business
and no money to invest. All that was
paid out In wages flowed back to
the store, owned BY the Ste. Marie
company. and to the Ste. Marie So
looms. Ste. Marie was bleeding st.
Boniface white in every way.
Filled with resentment. Hilary coun-
termanded the order for the rig and
walked up by the mill. His nerves
were raw and quivering az he reached
the end Of the strip Of land where
Rocky river pours into the gulf be-
low. The whistle blew, and he turned

WESTERN MARYLANDER
A GREAT FISHERMAN

Having come here a few days ago
from Western Maryland, (more speci-
fically from Boonsboro, Washington
county,, whore the largest fish caught
in any of the mountain streams meas
.ures six to eight inches, DR.. William
Wheeler, a practicing physician ana
surgeon of that Western Maryland
town, returned home today crowned
with the fisherman's glory, and bear
ing with him the proof of unusual
"fisherman's luck"
DR.. Wheeler took home some q
traut and rock. caught last night, two
thirds of which measured from 25 1-2
to % inches in length, and weighed
5 1-2 to pounds. The past two nights
DR.. Wheeler, who was accompanied on
his fishing trips at night by his cousin,
Clarence l.. Clemson, and Mr.. Wisner.
of the c. & P. Telephone Company, has
been most successful, hauling in with
hook and line fish of an unusual size
and weight caught in these waters.
The, party went fishing off Bay
Ridge point last night, near Tolley's
and their success was phenomenal
Pictures of the fish were taken this
morning before they were packed in
ice for the return motor trip to Boons7
boro, where they will be exhibited
doubtless as an object of envy and ad-
miration to followers of Isack Walton.
DR.. Wheeler is a great lover of fish
ing, and came here especially to in
dulge in the sport, not dreaming he
would be so successful an angler, and
would return home laden with largest
and weightiest fish ever seen in Boons-
boro.

KILLED WHEN STRUCK
BY SHORT LINE CAR
George Atkins Was Walking
Along Tracks Near Marley
When Accident Occurred
DID NOT HEAR WHISTLE

Struck by a southbound car on the
Maryland Electric Railways, near
Marley Station last night, George
Atkins, colored, so years old. living
in the upper county, was instantly
killed.
The accident occurred just after a
northbound car had become derailed
near the station. The motorman of
the car bearing south plainly saw the
man walking along the tracks and
footed his whistle loudly and at the
same time applied the brakes and
slowed down considerably. But the
man apparently failed to hear the
warning or did not attempt TO get
clear of the tracks before the on
rushing ear struck MN and threw his
body about 20 feet. Several bones
were broken. Atkins was dead when
members of the train crew reached
his side.

PROMPT ACTION BY
LEGISLATURE URGED
Governor, In Statement, Ex-
presses Hope Legislation
Will Be Kept In Bounds
WOULD SAVE TAXPAYERS

Governor Ritchie has issued state
ment asking for prompt action on leg
islation to be recommended by him to
the General Assembly, to- meet in
special session on Monday. The state
ment follows:
"A special session of the Legisla-
ture should never be.called except for
some extraordinary emergency, which
must be dealt with before the next
regular session meets. Whenever
such special session convenes, there
are always matters of proposed leg
islation, of more or less Importance,
but not related to the purpose for
which the special session is called
The emergency ought to be very ex-
treme TO justify the Legislature in
considering much less passing legisla-
ton of this kind.
Next weeks session has been called
for the purpose of providing additional
facilities for the women, recently en-
franchised by the adoption of the
Nineteenth Amendment, to register
and vote. That is the subject which
has justified the call, and except for
that imperative need, no extra session
would have been called.
