SAND BAR DISPUTE
PRESENTED. TO COURT
IN FINAL ARGUMENT

Judge Moss. in the Circuit Court to-
day, heard argument of counsel in the
equity case of Frank Nj. Stinchcomb
and Sarah Stinchcomb. his sister,
against Mr. and Mrs. Everett j. War
ing for an Injunction relating to a
sand bar formation on Chesapeake
Bay near the mouth of Magothy
River. A mass of testimony in this
case was taken several weeks ago, at
which time the Court held a night
session owing to the large number of
witnesses.
The case is an unusual one and has
aroused a good deal of interest in the
neighborhood of the parties, which is
that part OF the Third district extend
ing from Sandy Point up TO Persim-
mon Point in the Magothy River. Dur
ing the course of time hand deposits
have accumulated along the shore of
..Pettebone's Rest" the present home
of the Warnings and for many years the
homestead of the late Alfred A. Stinch-
comb. and extending along the front
of the property of the plaintiffs at or
near the mouth of Little Magothy
Creek, which lies between the two
properties. The latter claim that this
sand formation has attached to the
land and belongs to them, whereas the
defendants claim that. as the forma-
ton has always been contiguous to
their land and not to the plaintiffs, the
title rests in the defendants.

Not the lcast' among other good
things to be heard in "Wah Wah MOI"

and composer of the opera. The city
has been searched for the best of these
youthful singers with the result that
sixteen small Toys not yet in their
teens" will delight the audience in
two feature numbers. one of which
The Boogie Man" was heard in
"Singbad" land which is being repro
duced on account of the many requests
for its repetition.
The "Boogie Man is really part
of the original production of "Wah-
Wah-Noa" and was borrowed for
"Singbad": the other number is a
lullaby song which was especially
mentioned by the dramatic critic of
the New York Herald as a compost
ton full of sweetness. originality and
charm.
The other big feature number is the
famous "Sunflower Dance" the theme
of which runs through the opera and
which will also rdn through its hear
ers heads for days to come. This will
lie interpreted by Miss Adelaid Molter,
the talented student OF the Peabody
Institute. Lovely lighting effects are
used and the dance performed to the
humming OF the music by the great
chorus OF braves and Indian maidens
is thrilling in the extreme.
