KENT LEVY COURT IN SESSION
Matter of Routine Business Consider
ed at Last Meeting of New Body

At the recent session of Kent Coun-
ty Levy Court, County Engineer Good
en- appeared relative to the condition
of the Bakers Landing causeway,
which is much in need of Stag or
dressing of some kind. The Stag had
been ordered to come by boat, but as
the boats are running irregularly, the
Levy Court ordered that the Stag and
5000 bushels of oyster shells be or
dered by freight for use of both the
Barker's Landing adm Bowers Beach
roads. The Levy Court visited Kent
county Jail and found it to be salts
factory. There are less than one doz-
en- prisoners in the Jail. The court
ordered payment made to the Sunday
schools of the county in accordance
with the law. These orders will be
as of 1921, as it was an oversight in
not ordering payment during the lat
ter part of last year.

SHOOTS TWO AND FIRES FARM
PROPERTY At GREEN SPRING
DAVID MEYERS HALF-CRAZED
NEGRO RAN AMUCK LAST NIGHT
Smyrna and Clayton Fire Companies
Summoned and Help Save Dwelling
On The c. E. Donovan Farm


Dave Meyers, a half-crazed negro.
ran amuck at Green Spring, near
Smyrna, last night, shot and seriously
wounded Irene Briscoe, a 15-year-old
girl, and William Briscoe, her younger
brother. He fired several shots at his
brother, Edward Meyers, and then set
fire to the house and outbuildings on
the property before he made his es-
cape. Coincident with the fire at the
Meyers place, fire also started shortly
afterwards in the outbuildings on the
property of Mrs. C. E. Donovan, who
lives only a short distance from the
scene of the former tragedy. Meyers,
1t was learned, who has never been
quite sound mentally, but a seemingly
good hearted inOffensive worker on
the Donovan farm, became violent and
obtaining revolver, begun to brand
lsh 1t in menacing manner. At
ter shooting the girl and boy he is
said to have pursued his brother and
fired a number of shots until he ex-
hausted the ammunition. After hav-
ing thoroughly demorahzed all who
came within his range of vision he is
said to have set fire to the buildings
and then disappeared. The outbuild-
ings on Myers place were destroyed,
and the house, which was on fire sew
eral times, was saved with great diff
Guilty. Myers also had horse burned
up.
Donovan Fire Starts in Fodder Rick
At 1915 o'clock the fodder rick on
the property of Mrs. Donovan was dis
covered to be on fire by a neighbor,
Mrs. Harry Wallas. She gave an
alarm and the fire company at Smyr-
ma was notified. The Clayton COM
pany was also summoned and later a
call was sent in to the company at
Middletown. The latter also respond
ed, but when it arrived the fire lad
practically burned itself out. The
dwelling of Mrs. Donovan was in dan
ger a number of times and it was with
great difficulty that it was saved. All
the outbuildings, including the barn,
fodder rick, COW shed, and horse sta
bic were consumed. Nothing was
saved but the residence, a part of the
carriage house and the garage. The
horses which were in the stable, as
we'll as the cows were also gotten out.
The chicken coop which was burned
was also said to have been empty.
Mrs. Donovan at Her Home in Clayton
Mrs. Donovan was not at the farm
when the fire started, being at her
home in Clayton. The farm in her
absence is managed by Jacob Sudler.
Whether the fire was set by the half
crazed negro or whether a spark from
the blaze at the Meyers place was car
ried to the fodder rick could not be
definitely ascertained, but breaking
out in two places at one time leads
to suspicion. The police of Clayton
and Smyrna were apprised of the
crime and at once took measures TO
effect the capture of Meyers, who at
this writing has not been apprheended.
A posse of neighbors is aiding the po-
lice. Great excitement was caused in
the neighborhOod and large numbers
of residents flocked to the scene from
the surrounding towns and country.
The blaze could be seen for miles ard
caused a great deal of apprehension
in both the Smyrna and Clayton COM
