Irving Hoskinson. of this vicinity, sus-
tanned broken arm. broken collar bone
and other injuries on Wednesday evening
OF last week when he fell through trestle
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. near
the station here. He fell a distance of
about 80 feet. He left his automobile
standing on the track. and it is thought he
jumped to avoid being struck by an ap-
preaching train. The automobile was de-
molished.
The funeral of James William Hull, son
Of Mrs. Annie P. Hull. of this vicinity, who
was killed by an automobile in Detroit,
Mich. took place on Thursday of last week
from Humphreys chapel here. The ser
vices were conducted by Rev. Bertram NJ.
0ssood, pastor Of the Baptist Church, and
burial was in Rockville Union Cemetery.
Mr.. Hull was SO years old and unmarried.
He had been making Detroit his home for
five years.
When Policeman Darby attempted to
arrest CnarieS Adams, colored, at his home
near Halpine, last Sunday night, on COM
plant of members of his family, who rep
resented that as result of too much liquor
he was making himself generally obstrep-
erous. the negro erappled with the officer
and in the scuffle obtained possession of
the policeman's revolver. According to
Policeman Darby. Adams pointed the re-
volver at him. forcing him to withdraw.
Later. Darby and several other policemen
conducted a search for the negro and
located him twice. but each time he made
his escape. The men sent several shots
at the fleeing negro. but it is not believed
that any took effect. Charges Of resisting
arrest and assaultins an officer have been
preferred against him.

Expansion PIanned For Court
House.

That the coming Legislature will be
asked to provide funds for the enlarge
ment and undermining Of the court house
is understood to be a certainty.
For a number of years the present build
ing has been crowded. SO much so that for
the last two or three years that the bust
ness has been transacted under adverse
circumstances.
Excepting the circuit court room. which
is regarded as ample in every way but its
heating facilities. for long time virtually
every department of the county govern
ment is said to be in need Of more room
and those most interested have reached
the conclusion that enlargement Of the
plant cannot be longer deferred.
The movement for an adequate building
has reached the point where the court
house officials and others interested are
considering plans. Following numerous
conferences a number Of drawings have
been submitted by architects. which are
being carefully studied.
The reconstruction of the front and the
addition of wing on each side seems to
meet with the most favor and it is believed
that when the plans are finally decided
upon they will be in conformity with that
suggestion.
The necessary funds would. Of course,
have to be provided by bond issue and
the Legislatures part in the project would
be the enactment of a law authorizing the
raising Of the money. The cost is prob
lematical, but $25O.O00 has been men
toned as approximately the amount re-
quired.
The erection of a new county jail is
also aeitated. In fact, various organiza-
tions and individuals have for some years
been urging the necessity of a better
building.
Those prominent in the management Of
the county government, however, are IN
derstood to feel that. while larger and
more modern structure is desirable, the
county can worry along for few more
years with the present facilities. 1t is
believed that when jail is erected it will
be on a new site.

WorthingtOn had been opposed to the
motion.
Rule was convicted of manslauehter.
Evidence had been given that he shot
Barbee when the latter arrived at the club.

when some one remarked upon seeing
Rule in Scotch clothes. "0h. see the jolly
Scotchman." Several blows were struck
and it was claimed by the defense that
the firing was accidental. Rule lives in
Washington. as did Barbee.
