particular tract or piece of timber
land belonged to an old colored man,
a veteran of the Civil War, bought
with the savings of many years. Six
years ago this piece of land was sur
veyed by white man whose land lay
adjacent thereto and this piece was
included in the new survey by running
line across the tract cutting off these
few acres at the end and taken over
by the white man.
The old colored man protested, but
refused to take it to court, telling the
white man the land would never do
him any good-he would make moth
ing by taking this land from him.
Two years after the survey was made
the old colored man died, but before
his death every tree of any size was
dead on the land included in the SER

Coleman then made his escape into
a nearby woods where he remained
until Wednesday morning when he
was picked up and taken into Cecilton.
The presence of the murderer soon
aroused the anger of the colored peo-
pie of the town. Sheriff Clifford was
summoned, but before the officer ar
rived the situation became so intense
that George Padley, with two other
citizens of the town, hurried Coleman
into their machine and started for
Elkton, Md. A couple of miles from
town they met the Sheriff and the
prisoner was turned over to him. The
fact that the Sheriff had Coleman in
custody caused the excited colored
men of the town to cool off and they
gave up the idea of following MIR. Pad
ley's car to Elkton. Coleman, when
landed in the Jail, had his clothing
nearly torn off his body. An empty
revolver, % loaded crap bones, and a
small amount of money were found
on him. Coroner Magraw summoned
jury and held an inquest over the
body of Ella Harris. A verdict was
rendered that she came to her death
from a shot wound inflicted by John
Coleman. The husband of the dead
woman died about six months ago,
leaving her a property in the town.
Thirteen small children survive her.

Swamp Which Natives Say Is a Curse

Find a Dead Forest in NanticOke
Swamp Which Natives Say Is a Curse
About twenty miles down the Mani
coke River from Seaford is located
dense swamp of many acres, and ow
ing to its location it seems to have
but little commercial value. A few
.colored residences are the only build
.ings in or near the swamp. A few
weeks ago a prominent lumber dealer
made a search of the swamp for gum
timber to be used in the manufacture
of crates and baskets. He found an
unusual condition in a tract of timber
of about 20 acres, in which every tree
of any size was dead.
Trees from eight inches to two and
.one-half feet, and sixty and some, per-
haps, seventy feet high absolutely
dead and of no value whatever. He
estimated that there were from eight
hundred to one thousand dead trees,
standing, and a very peculiar feature
was that the dead trees marked the
dividing line between what used to be
two tracts of timber. The line around
the tract was distinct by reason of
dead trees and live trees. He found
much Of the young timber and all the
underground very thrifty.

CHESAPEAKE HAVEN BOOMING
Philadelphia Corporation to Establish
Amusements and Improve Facilities

Il
Amusements and Improve Facilities
A Philadelphia corporation is plan
ming to establish an amusement re-
sort at Grove Point, or Chesapeake
Haven, Md, overlooking Chesapeake
Bay. Thirteen new bungalows are in
course of construction, and promoters
of the resort project are making an
effort to stimulate interest in the place
as site for summer homes. An cleo
trio lighting plant was recently pur-
chased and is now being installed as
an accommodation for the builders.
The deepening and widening of the
Chesapeake & Delaware canal, will, is
is expected, enable passenger boats
plying between Philadelphia, Wil@
mington and Baltimore to land excur-
sionists at Chesapeake Haven in from
three and a half to four hours less
time than is now required. A new
concrete motor road is being laid from
Cecilton to Earleville. The company
which has taken over the Chesapeake
Haven is planning to repair the steam
boat landing and pier, which was re-
Gently damaged. Plans are being
made for the formal opening of the
resort on July Is. A battalion of
young men with 5O-piece military
band from the Church of st. Francis
de Sales, Philadelphia, will encamp on
the grounds during the last two weeks
in July. The resort hotels are open.

. The political complexion of the
Democratic situation was somewhat
changed during the past few days
when another candidate entered the
field for the nomination of Represen-
tative from the 18th district. He is
George 7. Slant and his coming out

farmer of near Townsend, sent to the
