THURMONT vs.. WAYNEGBORO D

The Thurmont baseball team Of the
Frederick County League had its first
tryout this season last Saturday after
noon when the team representing the
Wayne gboro Athletic Club ware the
opponents on the local field.
With the score 272 in the second it
looked like it might be an exciting
game. But the visitors wee unable
to score more than once after that
while the home team was making Is
runs-17 to 3.

GUTENBERG BIBLE FOR Sh.E
Said to Be Finest Example Left Of
First Book Printed by ME
chancaI Means.

From Leipzig comes word that the
copy OF the famous Gutenberg Bible,
which Is said to be the finest example
eXtant OF the first book printed by me-
chanical means, is on the market, to
be sold to the highest bidder.
The Bible for years has repoSed In
the Leipzig museum Of books. Its sale
at this time Is forced because the mu-
scum Is unable to continue Its exist
ence without new funds to cover its
cost Of maintenance.
This copy Of the Gutenberg Bible was
presented to the state of SaXony by a
Dresden collector. The state, in turn,
vested the title in the Leipzig museum,
and this institution, at the present, Is
prepared to pass on the heritage TO the
highest bidder.
Artists of Germany, including Max
Liebermann, Louis Corinth and others,
are attempting to raise funds to cover
the deficit and save the book for Ger
many. The value of the Leipzig Bible
is practically beyond appraisal. One
copy, In bad condition, was sold in 1911
for $5OO,O00. All other examples
known are damaged. This Leipzig
Bible alone is perfect specimen, and
for that reason, is most highly valued
Of all these examples of the early
printing art.

TRAIN HITS FIRE ENGINE

Passenger train No. 105 on the w.
M. Ry., which is scheduled to arrive in
Thurmont about $50 P. NJ, got here
on Sunday evening about an hour late.
The delay was caused by the train
coming in collision with a fire engine
near Arlington. Three firemen
were seriously injured The accident
occurred about o'clock when the fire
apparatus was responding to an alarm
for a small fire. The fire engine was
struck by the locomotive and cut in
two. Five fremen leaped from the
moving truck and were not hurt.
This is the first road crossing on
leaving Baltimore City by this rail-
road that has no safety gates, and the
signal of approaching trains is given
by an automatic bell. The sound of
this was lost in the clamor of the fire
engine gongs, it is said.
