several of those implicated are alleg-
ed to have told the whole story. Sew
eral of the men in the crowd were
from Washington county. Prosecu-
tion was Immediately decided upon by
Mr.. Younkins.
Not many days after, on returning
from taking his children to school,
Younkins discovered note tackled to
the door of his stable, which is now
in the hands of the authorities. The
note threatened that if Younkins de-
cided to prosecute, he would suffer
more damage than before, his crops
would be ruined, his stock poisoned
and his farm buildings and home
burned. Notwithstanding this threat
Younkins came to Frederick and
swore out fourteen warrants. Just
recently Younkins lost fine COW,
which he says veterinarian told him
died from poisoning.
Whether further arrests will be
made, and when, has not fully devel-
oped, although Younkins declared
that he will prosecute the entire four

the persons implicated came to Youn-
kins and endeavored to make settle
ment for their share but it was re-
fused unless the entire damage was
paid, it was reported.-Valley Regis

In Memoriam

HAHN-In sad but loving remem-
brance of our dear little boy, George
M. Hahn, who departed this life three
years ago, October 21, 1918.
Loved in life, in death remembered
When the angels brought the message
That our darling boy must go,
None but parents that have lost one
Could our grief and sorrows know
Keep him, Jesus, in Thy keeping,
Till we reach that shining shore,
Then, o Master, let us have him,
Love and keep him as before.
By his Mother and Daddy
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we loved so dearly,
In the lone and silent grave.

SCARLET FEVER QUARANTINE
STIRS MIDDLETOWN

The act of DR.. H. p. Fahrney, coun-
tv health officer, in sending some 30
children home from the Middletown
schools during the past two weeks,
claiming they had mild case of scar
let fever, and the placing of some six
or more quarantine cards on different
houses is being severely censured by,
the physicians and citizens of the
town. Both Middletown physicians,
DR.. r. V. Hauver and DR.. A. A. Lamar
who have examined many of the chill
lren sent home, declare positively that
they have been unable to detect the
least symptoms of the disease, and
the people of Middletown are taking
the decision of their family physicians
as final and are loud in their denunci-
alton of the health authorities for
what they declare is blunder upon
their part.
Not one of the children sent home
IS sick or show any signs of sickness.
On the other hand they eat heartily,
play around the house and yard as
formerly and all insist upon it that
they are not sick.
On several occasions DR.. Fahrney
nas been accompanied here by Deputy
State Health Officer, DR.. r. B. Nor
ment, of Hagerstown, and last Sun
day DR.. r. A. Riley, chief of the Bu-
reau of Communicable Diseases, of
the State Board of Health, Baltimore,
accompanied DR.. Fahrney here to visit
a number of homes.
One of the Middletown children sent
home from school was examined by
DR.. Thomas B. Johnson, one of Fred
eiick's leading physicians. He de-
clared the child had no symptoms of
the disease whatever. DR.. Hauver
was then called in and he verified DR..
Johnson's statement. DR.. Hauver
says there was not the least symptom
that he could detect.
Mr.. Oliver Sigler's little daughter,
of Airview was sent home from school
Mr.. Sigler had his family physician
examine the little girl and he declared
he could not find the least symptoms
of the disease. Mr.. Sigler sent the
child back to school. Next day DR..
Fahrney called at the house and when
he found the little girl at school, he
became very angry and declared he
would send the little girl back home
again. The little girl came home cry
ing, declaring that she was not sick
and wanted to go to school. And so
the affair goes on.-Valley Register.

\ Bank Keeps Gold Under Water.

No other bank in the world Is pro-
tected as the Bank of England, writes
William S. Walsh, who collects odd
bits of information. This unique pro-
lection is due to an artesian we'll In
the bank. This we'll supplies the bank
with its water independently Of the
rest Of the city; 1t is 400 feet deep
and supplies 1000 cubic feet Of water
an hour.
The bullion department, which holds
the ingots Of precious metal. Is nightly
submerged in several feet Of water BY
the action Of special machinery. Any
one attempting to rob the bank, then.
must be an expert swimmer and diver.
In the morning the water Is pumped
away and the ingots are readily ac-
cessible again.
However, the water still protects the
other departments of the bank. Its
supply is almost unlimited, the bank
knows, and its protection Is practi-
cally absolute when 1t Is used. The
bank has very delicate machinery ar
ranged so that even the lifting Of one
coin from a pile will release catch
which In turn releases supply Of
water.

THREE ARRESTED FOR
DAMAGING CROPS

Frank T. Smith, George C. Miller
and Austin E. Bowlus, all of Mt. Ia
Dor, near Middletown, were arrested
on Wednesday by Sheriff William O.
Wertenbaker and Deputy Sheriff
Charles H. Clipp, charged with de-
stroying the watermelon and canta-
loupe patch on the farm tenanted by
Lewis d. Younkins, several months
ago, during a public sale. According
to statements of Younkins several
days ago, fourteen persons were i'm
plicated and will be arrested.
At hearing before Judge Alban M.
Wood Thursday afternoon, the three
waived hearing and were released in
$100 bond each for their appearance
at the February term of court.
Due to the raiding of his watermel
on and cantaloupe patch by the
crowd on the day of the sale, Youn-
kins is the loser to the extent of
about $1,000, it is said, not whole
melon or cantaloupe being left on the
vines. The ones too small to carry
away were torn from the vines and
sliced with knives. Younkins count
ed on pulling the melons within few
days after the sale.
Immediately after he discovered
what damage had been done his crop

BLACKBIRDS

Last Sunday evening from $50 un-
til after 600 o'clock one continuous
ribbon" of blackbirds, apparently 10
feet wide, passed from north to south
and seemed to come to rest in the
bottom lands below town. At times
there would be break in the line by
a portion of the flight darting earth
ward, and the entire line from that
point forward would perform the
same feat which gave it the appear
ance of a wave eight or ten feet high
running from the rear forward. At
other times this same maneuver
would be carried out sidewise.
During the half hour or more that
we observed them we estimated

VETERAN CONDUCTOR OF
"FAST MAIL" RETIRl

Frank P. Hoover, veteran conductor
of the Western Maryland Railway,
has made his last run. He has been
retired after so years service.
Mr.. Hoover took out his last train
March 3, and was carried from it when
it pulled into Hillen Station. Stricken
with high blood pressure. and netritis,
he was taken to his home never to re-
turn as a conductor. He was retired
October l, his sixty-fifth birthday an
niversary.
Seated in the parlor of his home the
conductor told of how he yearned to
be a railroad man when he was boy,
of how he rose from water boy for a
repair gang to conductor of the East
Mail" the best run on the Western
Maryland.
"When l became a brakeman in
1873" Mr.. Hoover said, there were no
air brakes, automatic signals and
couplings, and it was difficult to stop
train. The hand brakes had to be
clamped down on each car and the. en-
CINE could be stopped only by revers-
ing it. Now the engineer merely
twists a lever and the entire train is
brought to standstill within few
seconds.
"The caboose is another improve
ment in railroading. In the old days
the fiagman would sit on the rear
car and hold a red lantern at night or
red flag in the day. Sometimes the
lanterns were suspended on a nail
driven into the car. If a brakeman
would have a period of rest between
stations he would stretch himself on
the roof of a car, always in danger of
falling off if he went to sleep. Since
the advent of the caboose they ride in
comfort, with a stove to warm them
and hunks in which they can sleep.
"There were no steel coaches or
iron bridges in my earlier days, and
despite all this never was in seri-
Gus wreck. The capacity of the
freight cars then was from $4,000 to
80 900 pounds; the car of today car
ries from 10000 to $4,000 pounds. A
train of twenty freight cars was con-
sidered a heavy train, due to the light
locomotives; but the modern engine
can pull from rs to 100 loaded cars"
Mr.. Hoover is widely known among
residents of Western Maryland, hav.
ing served as conductor of the East
Mail" from Baltimore to Hagerstown
for Is years. His record is without
blemish and the officials of the COM
pany congratulated him for his long
service and his excellent record
