SHOT AT FARMER

An attempt was made on the life of
David 7. Filligame, farmer living
two miles below Chesapeake City, Md,
early Sunday morning, and that he was
not killed was largely due to the poor
aim of his cowardly and unidentified
assailant. The assault took place about
A. 80 o'clock, while Filligame was on his
way to the barn to do the milking. He
was just passing the hog pen which is
located at the edge of woods, when
someone hiding behind the pen, fired at
him with shotgun. While most of
the shot missed him, some struck him
in the head and shoulder and one grain
penetrated his check at the edge of the
eye. Before it could be learned who
fired the shot, the person escaped
through the woods.
Filligame was taken to the Elkton
hospital, where his wounds were dress
| ed. 1t is not known yet whether or not
the grain that struck him near the eye
| will cause the loss of the sight of that
eye.
John Harris, living about three miles
from Elkton, Md, was arrested Mon
day on charge of shooting Filligame.
He was held under $1,000 bail for
court, by Magistrate Scotten, of Elk.

PEOPLES Bank Burglar Alarm

Through the faulty work OF careless
workmen the extremely delicate mech

fore buying this new invention to
head off burglars, had assured them
selves that it was as reliable as 1t is
delicate-w when properly installed.
But these ''false alarms are after
