HARTLY FIREBUG NATIVE
OF TOWN, RESIDENTS SAY
Citizens Ready To Kill Guilty Party
If He Is Apprehended

Residents of the fire stricken town
of Hartly are satisfied beyond ques-
ton that the firebug who has been
applying the torch there since last
February is a resident of that town.
This was fully demonstrated early
Friday morning at his latest and

weeks there has been special de-
tective in the town trying to get a
clue to the identity of the guilty
person, but Wednesday night this
man was absent for a brief period
and this fact evidently was known
to the incendiary. Taking advantage
of his absence the firebuy again ap-
piled the torch and thereby made
himself liable to charge for which
death is the penalty, committing ar

jeopardy.
Residents of Hartly openly declare

was the first club to be disqualified.
Then Parksley, tied with Dover, lost
20 games and was knocked out OF
the race. Finally Dover, setting the
pace, also was disqualified. Except
for the disqualifcations Crisfield
