Peculiar Legislation is Unre-
peaIed, Although Allowed to
Continue UnenfOrced

The ancient Sunday blue laws,
center of many a hot fight in the
General Assembly, are not the only
strange pieces of legislation on the
Maryland status books, according to
a story from the Associated Press.
Many laws still unrepealed, al
though allowed to go unenforced, are
still on the books but, like forlorn
waits, they have no champions
to support them.
1t is unlawful in Maryland to utter
or write profane words concerning
the Trinity or any person thereof and
the punishment may be up to $500
fine and six months Imprisonment.
For the simple "oath or CURSE, the
law provides that transgressors "shall
be fined rs cents for the first oath or
curse, and for every oath or curse
after the first, 80 cents"
Other quaint laws passed from time
to time by the solons of the Free
State have been uncovered by A. S.
Gregorius after much delving in the
status and were recently published by
the Baltimore Evening Sun.
Among them was one which reveals
it is unlawful to give or sell any per-

FISHING SEASON TO BE
USHERED IN WEDNESDAY
May Fish In Deep Creek Lake
From April 1 to August Is

The fishing season in Garrett coun-
ty will arrive on April 1, according
to the State Conservation Commits
sioner, and will continue until June
80, except in the Youghiogheny River
below Swallow Falls, where the rain
bow trout season is from July 1 to
November 80.
The fishing season in Deep Creek
Lake will be open only from April 1
to August Is.
It is necessary that all persons over
the age of IS years procure an ang-
ler's license before being permitted to
fish by means of rod, hook and line in
any of the streams not closed in Gar
rett county, the law states.
Licenses are not required when the
owner is fishing within the confines
of his own property lines. Licenses,
when required, may be procured at
the office of the Clerk of the Circuit
Court. Quite number of applicants
have already secured the required per-
mits and are thus ready when April
1 arrives.
Trout taken from the streams must
be not less than 7 inches in length,
according to the fish and game law,
except from Deep Creek Lake, where
they must be eight inches in length.

GUNS ROAR AT BEAR HILL
SCHOOL FOLLOWING FIGHT
Youths Said To Have Fired 3
Bullets Through School Build
ing After Assaulting Teacher
PUPILsLIVEs ENDANGERED

Warrants have been issued for the
arrest of three alleged bad youths
residing in the vicinity of Jennings,
namely: Thomas Hoover, Cecil Will
burn and Marshall Wilburn, the two
latter being brothers, following a rum
pus staged by the trio at the Bear
Hill school house on Tuesday. The
warrant charges the trio with being
drunk and disorderly and malicious
destruction of public property.
From information gathered by The
Republican it appears that while the
Bear Hill school was in session on
Tuesday the three youths named in
the warrant entered the school house
and are said to have started an alter
cation with the teacher, John Cain.
Cain armed himself with the stove
poker and summarily elected the in
truders. The three are then said to
have sworn that they would kill the
teacher and Immediately went to their
respective homes and secured high
powered rifles and other firearms.
Thus armed, they returned to the
school house and started a lombard
ment, firing three bullets through the
building.
One of the miscreants fired from the
rear of the building, the bullet pass
ing through the wall and also the
blackboard in close proximity to the
teachers desk and into the wall on the
opposite side where it was imbedded.
1t is said that when this bullet was
fired there We're three pupils working
at the blackboard and passed just
above their heads and those of the
other children seated at their desks
in the school room.
Naturally school Immediately broke
up in confusion, the pupils and the
teacher Fastening to their homes. The
county and State authorities were
made acquainted with the facts and
warrants were issued for the arrest
of the parties guilty of the outrage,
but after making three trips to the
section where the youths live they
could not be located and are still at
large. They have, presumably, crossed
over the State line into Pennsylvania.
Clarence T. Spear, deputy sheriff, with
another deputy, made the trip to Bear
Hill on Friday, while Sheriff Haenft-
ling and his deputies were in that vi
cinity on Saturday and again on Mon
day.
Persons residing in the Jennings
and Bittinger section of the county
have expressed their hope that no eff
fort will be spared to bring about the
arrest and punishment of the offend
ers as they have long been regarded
as unsafe and unfit to be permitted
to be at liberty.

son in Garrett county under 81 years
of age either cigarettes or cigarette
paper. Tobacco, however, is not
specified and therefore may be sup
piled! Fines for offenders against
this law are provided and for the
first offense penalty of not less than
$25 and not more than $50 may be
imposed with fines of 500 to $500 for
subsequent offenses.
If the fine and costs are not paid
for such offenses, the law says, the
culprit, male or female, "shall be re-
quired to work the same out on the
public roads,"
There is still law in force which
requires that every traction engine
propelled by steam be preceded by at
least two men, "whose duty it shall be
to conduct the engine so as to cause
as little alarm as possible to horses or
other draft animals"
Another law requires hotels to
have sufficient stable and provender
for five horses at least, a requirement
which might on short notice prove
rather embarrassing to many modern
city hostelries.

ordinance requiring the payment of
$1,000 by every band of gypsies enter

Home of Grover Browning
Destroyed by Fire

The home of Grover Browning, To-
Gated near Kings Hill, about four
miles north of Oakland, was complete
ly destroyed by fire of undetermined
origin about $3.50 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Browning came to Oakland for
assistance and one fire truck was sent
out from the local department, but
the building was practically in ashes
by the time the truck reached the
scene.
A number of articles of furniture
had been carried from the house and
were saved, from the fire.
The property was bought last Sat
urday at mortgages sale by W. R.
Offutt. It is said that an insurance
policy in the sum of $1,000 was car
ried on the house.
