WATER FAMINE
H|TSFARN|S

BALTIMORE, Aug. 10.-Farm-
ers and other residents in and
near Randalstown and Harrison
vile, Baltimore County, who for
months have been getting their
daily water supplies from the few
flowing springs in that district,
are faced with a real water famine
this fall.
The ground in parts of the dis
trict is baked hard 10 inches
down. Since last october, many
residents have been hauling their
water in buckets. tubs and barrels
from streams and springs. some
of them making trips of more
than two miles.
George w. Berry, who owns
considerable property and one Of
the few springs still flowing in the
neighborhood, has made the spot
an oasis for many of his thirsty
Nneighbors. Well shafts have been
drilled to depths of IS feet at a
cost Of 50 a foot. only to encoun-
ter dry sands. The Thunderstorm
ers of recent days have had no
noticeable effect on the situation.

, Seeking a total of $4,000 from
two fire insurance companies, A.
Rosin, who was acquitted of an
arson charge at the last term
of Circuit Court in Prince Georges
county, yesterday filed suit in
Upper Marlboro.
The defendants named in the
two petitions filed by Attorney j.
Frank Lillard were the, Fidelity
and Guaranty Fire Corporation.
of Baltimore, Md, and the Lon
don Assurance Corporation, Of
New York city. The first suit
calls for $500, while the second
demands $4,000.
Rosin was charged with arson
after a storehouse which he
owned in College Park burned
to the ground and destroyed q
quantity of groceries and store
equipment. The State failed to
prove the charge and Rosin was
freed.
In the petition filed against
the two companies, Rosin alleged
the policies in force at the time
of the fire, but that neither COM
pany has paid his claims. No
reason for the companies refusal
to pay was mentioned in the bills
of complaint.
