Dinsmore took a seat in the corridor of the second floor and at 3 o'clock, when McLendon alighted from the elevator, Dinsmore accosted him.
 Say, D. E., began Dinsmore, "did you tell the newspapers that my state ment wasn't trueT'
 You know it isn't true," McLendon retorted.

He swung again, and landed, causing a slight show of blood about the lip. + You're a blankety blank blank" shouted Dinsmore as he charged to- wards the commission chief. A large crowd quickly formed to watch the fight, but two officers from police head quarters just around the corner, hur- ried up and took Dinsmore in charge.
 Put this fool unde bond" McLen- don told the officers. They followed instructions, but before they could drag the irate attorney away he kicked sharply at McLendon, and landed again.

 6Tincuanwa sa Y his effort to become city attorney. and because l also blocked his attempt to collect S1,OO0 from the city as the result of an automobile smash-up. He attacked me without warning and with out provocation, and he knows his statement in the newspapers was ut- terly devoid of truth"
 Dinsmores case was set for next Wednesday morning at o'clock in re. corders court, and McLendon will be the chief witness against him. After the clash, Dinsmore spent an hour or more in the drug store in the city hall building. Hg said he had a mass ot information 1to give the re- corder when the case is called.
 T wish you would say for me-" Dinsmore told an Age Herald reporter. that the truth ain't in D. B. McLen- don."
 The clash between Dinsnfore and the commission head did not come as A surprise, since rumors had been cur rent at city hall for weeks that the former was laying his plans to force a physical showdown. Before the fight. Dinsmore made the statement that he would whip McLendon" if the latter denied his statement.

Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1924-12-20

letter written by Colonel Edmund
Scarborough, in 1869, in which he
called attention to coming war a.
gainst the Assateague Indians, for
outrages committed against the citi-
Fzens of upper ,Accomac and Gingo-
league Island.
The name, probably Indian in orr
gin, was in the early days both writ
ten and spoken as spelled above, and
some Of the older people on the is
land still pronounce it with a G at the
beginning, instead Of a C.
On account of opposition by the
Indians, the first grants led to no per-
manent settlement and the land was
again divided. Between 1851 and
1717, grants were made to John Will
lis, William Kendall, Major John Rob-
ms, Captain John GUSTS, Littleton
Robins, Thomas Gascocine. :
A resident of Chincoteague, who
has lived on the island all his life,
says that when he was a boy he heard
the old people talk about the early
history Of the place, and from legends
and traditions handed down from
father to son it appears that the orr
.ginal family on the island the Jes-
tiers settled at Wallops Beach more
than $50 years ago. Later came the
Hills, the Booths, the Whealtons, the
Buntings, the Jones, the Rowleys, the
Daiseys, and others, and these are
the names that are found in great
numbers on the island today.
The early settlers apparently kept
much to themselves and encouraged
their children to do likewise. Very
likely there was little or no reason for
visiting cover on the MAN," as the
rest of the county is called; for in the
early days there were very few peo-
Pile to- visit and the difficulties of
travel were many.
! Besides, the people on the island
were fishermen, independent and fear
less, living by their own toll, obtain
ing their food from the sea and their
little patches of ground, while those
over on the main We're owners of large
plantations, men Of wealth and leis-
ure who probably cared little for their
more humble neighbors.
So the people of Chincoteague went
their way alone, growing more aloof
from the mainland as time went by
and depending much upon themselves
for food, clothing and shelter, and
they continued to do this up to within
