GRANTED DIVORCE

1t has been announced in the Fred
erick and Baltimore papers that Mrs.
Ella M. Finch of this place, who near
ly a year ago married man giving
his name as DR.. Charles w. Davis,
presumably from California, has been
granted divorce by the Court for
Frederick County.
DR.. Davis remained with his bride
about three days and then had urgent
business in Hagerstown. He left and
never returned. He was next heard
from in York, Pa, where he married
a Mrs. Hockey. Later he deserted her
and reports state that he married a
woman in New Jersey. According to
rumor he married 16 women in various
parts of the country.
Upon evidence of his having lived
with the York wife short time with
out having obtained divorce from his
wife in Thurmont, Mrs. Davis was
granted divorce on statutory grounds

persisted IN FIRE

William Wetzel, about rs years old,
an employee at the Union Bridge ce-
ment plant, was burned to death Sat
urday afternoon in the coal house of
the plant. While the building was
not destroyed, Wetzel was trapped and
enveloped in flames before he could
make his escape.
1t is said that a motor in the coal
house exploded and Wetzel, who was
short distance away, hurried to the
building. Upon entering two or three
other motors exploded and the inter,
Tor caught fire. 1t is supposed that he
was either hurt by the second or third
explosion or became confused and was
unable to find his way out of the
building. Several persons who arriv-
ed soon after the first report of the
explosion, saw Wetzel lying on the
floor of the building with his clothing
in flames.
AS son as possible he was reached
and it was found that everything he
wore, except his shoes had been
burned from his body He was dead
when found, having been burned from
head to foot.

ASSAULTED DEPUTY SHERIFF

w. H. Long, a spectacle vendor, who
assaulted Deputy Sheriff Albert Adels-
berger, Emmitsburg, Friday, when the
latter went to levy on his automobile
for debt, is still at large. 1t is be-
lieved he made his escape to Baltimore
by back road and is now in that city.
After leaving Emmitsburg he headed
for Frederick, but did not reach there.
As he has not been seen since it is
supposed that he reached Baltimore
by the Taneytown road.
Long had been at Emmitsburg for
about two months selling spectacles.
While he made number of acquaint-
ances among whom was Deputy Adels-
berger, he was regarded as a man of
mystery and little was known of him.
Deputy Adelsberger received writ
of attachment from firm in Ohio, and
he went to the Maryland Garage,
where Long kept his machine, to at
tach it
The officer found Long at the car
and told him that he would take
charge of it. Just as Adelsberger was
leaning over the car to take the key
out of the switch, Long struck him a
hard blow with his fist, telling him
When the deputy gained his feet, he
found himself looking into the muzzle

WANT A FARM BUREAU

A meeting was held in the school
house Saturday evening last, the OBJ
Jet of which was to enlist farmers in
the organization of a Farm Bureau.
Mr.. David G. Zentz who was to pre-
side at this meeting was not able to
attend, and the task fell upon his son,
Mr. William Zentz. Senator Mish of
Hagerstown was present and present
ed the Farm Bureau question to the
few who attended.
To give information as to what is
trying to be done, we clip an article
written by John McGill, Jr., County
Agent for Frederick county. He says:
"You ask, What is this Farm Blu
reau and what can it do for me" 1t is
an organization composed exclusively
of farmers-its policies determined
entirely by farmers and its business
confined absolutely to the business of
farmers. 1t in no way opposes, sub
plants, replaces or duplicates the work
of any other organization in county or
state, but rather strengthens their
work by giving them every assistance
possible and developing other organi-
cations where and when they are need
ed. The Farm Bureau does not take
over the work of any individual or
organization but rather sees to it that
the service rendered the farmer by
these is efficient and satisfactory. The
Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers
Association and it's members, the
Maryland Agricultural Corporation,
and others would all be better off
the Potomac Fruit Growers Associa-
ton and other would all be better off
today if there were Farm Bureau in
every county they serve. The Amer
lean Farm Bureau, with it's member
ship of now more than a million and
a half farmers-the largest and most
powerful farm organization in the
world, offers to the farmers of Fred
crick county, if, what it has done for
it's members elsewhere, is any indica-
ton of what it can do, the best op-
portunity they have ever had to solve
some of their hardest problems. And
remember, men, the problems of you

WARRANT FOR KEHNE
AND SHARPER

AS a sequal to the litigation, inI
which the Maryland Motor Machine
Company, of Frederick has been in
volved in Court, and which is still UNI
decided, Charles H. Kehne, president
of the company, and M. Roy Sharrer,
sales manager, were arrested Satur-
day morning by Deputy Sheriff Smith,
charged with obtaining money and
goods from j. Emory Ohler, of EN-
mitsburg, under false pretenses.
1t appears from the warrant that on
or about October 18, 1921, Messrs.
Kehne and Sharrer prevailed upon
MI. Ohler to sell his stock of merchan-
disc to them, in behalf of the company
for $500. Mr.. Ohler, who conducted
garage at Emmitsburg agreed to sell
at tbs price. 1t is claimed that Kehne
and Sharrer then told Ohler that the
company then did not have ready
cash, but if he would accept $500 in
cash, and &c shares of stock they
would return in 80 days take the
stock off his hands and pay him the
sum of $3,4OO being the par value of
the stock. Ohler further claims that
Kehne and Sharrer represented that
the stock was worth $50 per share,
and that it was then paying 10 per
cent. dividends, and guaranteed to pay
him 10 per cent. on his money during
the ninety days which he was to hold
the stock.
Ohler, it is charged, received the GO
shares of stock but the $500 was
paid by the company to Sharrer, who
applied the same to his own use, it is
claimed, and never paid it to Ohler.
Ohler consulted States Attorney An
ders, with the result that the warrants
were issued for the arrest of Messrs
Kehne and Sharrer. They were re
quired to furnish the bail in the sum
of $4,000, when brought before Mag
istrate J. Grahame johnson.
