SERIOUSLY ACCUSED
Robert Wright in Custody for Al
legged Attack Upon Albert Gurley

Howard Morris of Laurel was ar
rested Monday on charges of at
tempting to kill Samuel Winder, who
lives near Mt. Pleasant Church. The
two men got into a fight Sunday
and Walter claims that Morris drew
knife on him and later threatened
to shoot him. Winder swore out a
writ for his arrest but when Morris
was brought before the magistrate
Winder failed to appear against him.
Magistrate Spicer of Laurel placed
fine of So and costs on Morris and
issued a warrant for the arrest of
Winder. To date the officers have
been unable to locate him.
Monday night Robert Wright was
arrested on a charge of assault
against Albert Gurley, who was cut
severely in the abdomen and is now
in the Milford Hospital. Wright was
committed to the Georgetown Jail

car while under the influence of Ii
quor was re-arrested Tuesday on a
warrant issued by Magistrate Spicer.
Parsons was fined $100 and costs He
gave his note signed by two Laurel
men as security but the bank refus-
ed to recognize the note for such
purpose. AS a result of this the mag
istrate ordered his arrest and if he
is unable to raise the money he will
be sent to Georgetown Jail.

PONY PENNING AT
CHINCOTEAGTE ISLAND
Modern Roundup Of Miniature Wild
Horses Was Staged Thursday

Visitors to the pony penning days
of former years saw great change
when they attended the modern
roundup on Thursday. The ponies
were the only thing on the island
that have not felt the pull Of civili-
zation.
Four years ago the island was a
thing apart from the world. Chinco-
league, an island out in the Atlantic
Ocean, knew little of the mainland
and the world knew nothing of this
little place. Then the people woke
up, they built themselves bridges,
connected with causeways, and at
the finish of this work the island be-
gan to function as a part of Accomac
county, Virginia.
Governor TrinkIe was the first Vir-
ginia Executive to visit it. He at
tended the opening of the road to the
mainland. This year his successor,
Governor Byrd, was there to talk,
eat and watch the cowboys of the
East ride in true Western style. He
saw long-legged Coast Guards doing
their stuff on shortlimbed ponies
their feet dragging in the sand. He
saw for the first time, the wonder
full drive the people built over six
miles of water.
Ponies came on the island in the
early zoos. How, is a mooted ques-
ton, the generally accepted story be-
ing, that a Spanish ship, with sett-
lers was wrecked off Assateague Is
land and the horses swan ashore.
From these settlers the present
dwarfed species came. There has
been apparently no permanent dimi-
mutton of the herds, which roam at
large over the salt marshes. Once a
year Chincoteague goes out into the
wilds and herds the ponies. On
the years catch was inn
pounded, exhibited and sold.

FEAR OPEN WAR
AMONG CRABBERS
CHESAPEAKE BAY
LOrie c. Quinn, Jr., FOresees A
Conflict If Virginia Boats Fire.
Boundary Disputed.

With feeling at high tension in the
vicinity of Smiths Island in the
Chesapeake Bay in the dispute be-
tween Maryland and Virginia crab
bers, Lorie c. Quinn, Jr., of Cristield
Tuesday predicted armed conflict
between Somersent countians ano
Virginia's water police if the Vlr-
ginia police boat Marguerite opens
machine-gun fire on Maryland crab
bers.
Virginia authorities have ordered
the boat equipped with machins guns
The craft was fired on by Mary
land crabbers last Friday night, ac-
cording to dispatches. Harry H.
Houston, Virginia Commissioner OF
Fisheries, said quiet prevailed in the
vicinity of Smiths Island but he
~'was very much afraid we have not
seen the end of trouble"
Mr.. Houston said he had ordered a
second patrol boat to the shore.
Mr.. Quinn, who addressed letters
Tuesday to Governor Ritchie and
Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com
merce, protesting against the Vlr-
ginia patrol boat firing on Maryland
crabbers and endangering the lives
of citizens of nearby Tylertown, said
the recent outbreak was "the direct
result of an injustice heaped upon
Maryland in the settlement Of a
boundary dispute 40 years ago" This
Injustice" he said has resulted in
much bloodshed.
Mr.. Quinn said he could count %
Marylanders who had been killed by
shots from Virginia police boats and
scores of others who had been
wounded. "a life for a crab seems
to be the creed of the Virginia fish
cries force" he asserted.
Tracing the history of the old
boundary dispute between the two
states, Mr.. Quinn charged the Vir-
ginia Boundary Commission with
jockeying valuable waters from
Maryland's possession in the final
agreement. The present dividing
line, he contends, is 10 miles north
of the old and original boundary. The
new line, he pointed out, cuts across
Smiths Island and places prongs Of
marsh land inclosing the mouth of
Tyler's creek within Virginia terri
tory, "a line that any fair-minded
unbiased citizen, be he Marylander
or Virginian, if he will look at the
map, will agree readily was unreas-
enable as well as unfair"
Although this part of the bay is
said to provide excellent grabbing
grounds, Virginians do not use it,
according toj Mr.. Quinn. Yet, he de-
clares, if Maryland crabbers drift
down to orislightly cross the line in
Tyler's creek they are fired on, and
thus the lives of women and chill
dren in Tylertown, on the creek, are
jeopardized. Maryland, Mr.. Quinn
said, never has had patrol boat at
that point.

BIG ENROLMENT

attendance the month previous was
awarded this banner to display dur
ing the next month.
Some idea of how attendance rec
Ords have improved since the effort
to get out a big attendance at the
start of the school year began three
years ago may be gained from the
school records. Dealing solely with
the elementary grades the attend
ance in 1924 on the opening day was
11,94S. In 1925 the attendance on the
first day was 1858 an improvement
of 665. In percentage Sc per cent Of
the students enrolled entered the
first day in 1924 term and in 1925
the percentage had increased to SO
per cent.
Delaware schools will be fortunate
again this year in having instructors
in the elementary grades who have
certificates. Prior to 1925 there were
upwards of 100 teachers engaged
who taught under provisional certi-
ficates. This year, according to DR..
Holloway, there will be only certified
instructors. At this time there are
25 vacancies in the elementary
grades to be filled. During August
there will be an examination for
candidates for teachers and if enough
qualified from this state, the Board
of Education will give Delaware in
structors first preference.
Anon gthe high schools the situ-
alton is the most promising it has
been for many years. There are
practically no vacancies remaining
to be filled and the general calibre
of the new instructors as well as the
old is much higher than ordinary.

THEN THE WORLD is MINE!
BY o. LAWRENCE HAWTHORNE

How great a heritage is mine;
cannot comprehend the grace
OF Natures infinite design;
cannot know what ecstasy
OF soul its grandeur signifies
Dear heart. I cannot comprehend
Until I look into your eyes!
Beyond the bounds of space and time
The rhapsody of life extends;
I cannot understand where joy
Begins or where contentment ends.
So vast is Natures artistry.
l am bewildered by its charms
But all this wondrous word OF love
Is mine when you are in my arms!

her intense nervous temperament, she
at times scars up Mount Detachable

slough Of DespOnd, where it some

easily turned aside from any end she

she almost invariably carries her
point, having the energy and per-
sistence to continue until the G. iec
desired is reached.
She has been identified with
progressive and philanthropic MOVE

A QUIET FOURTH
Most Of the City Enjoyed the Day in
the Country

No effort was made towards having
a Fourth Of July celebration in this
city and during most Of the day the
streets were almost entirely deserted.
All who could, found their way to the
country.
A picnic party of Knights of Py-
thias, numbering about 200 persons,
passed the day neal Shedd's bridge
n the West Gallatin. Other picnics
were had at GOwan's Grove, north of
the city; at Reeves Grove, at Rocky
Canyon, and elsewhere Throughout
the valley.
There was a small display Of fire
works in the city in the evening, a
sort Of ~free-fOr-all, and everyone
seemed to enjoy the day fully as much
as if a weeks hard work of prepare
ton had been done beforehand for q
big celebration. -lI 3

Few Decreases
In general, tire list shows moderate
increases in ass :sseG valuation in the
various classes CT property. There
were, however, some decreases, and
the more important of these can be
explained by factors over which the
county and its inhabitants have no
control. For instance, the decrease
Of $124,155 in assessed value of bank
stock is due to the closing of two Gal
latin institutions since the 1925 as
sessment was made. The total for
land wa $27,675 less this year, large
~ because the state cancelled pur-
chasers contracts to 5000 acres
which reverted to the state. The
value of city lots declined S6O,79O
mainly because the county has taken
deed to 22O lots in the town Of Three
Forks since March 1, 1925.
The other decreases are relatively
small.
