The history OF southwestern Mon
tam and the story of Dick Lands
life are inseparably intertwined. Dick
Is famous for many things. He is n
Of the oldest of the early-day pros
pectOrs. He Is reputed to make the
best, lightest, whitest s~OurdOugh
bread any man ever ate. High up in
Hot Springs gulch where, As years
ago, he built a cabin for his bride, he
had a strawberry patch hat would
make your mouth water. And he was
the locator and first owner of the
famous Stuart mine which later sold
for the fabulous sum of S10,0 0 900.
Born In Pennsylvania, Dick came
west when he was 10 years old. with
no capital except youth and courage
and high hopes. He boasts with just
pride that in all his long, eventful life.
with all its ups and downs he worked
only seven months for wages. That
was when he first arrived in the big
unsettled west and CHANGED to land at
Hyram Kelly's cattle ranch near Chey-
enne. Wyo. He says, with a twinkle:
"In those days there wasn't any dole,
A man couldn't beg and he couldn't go
on relief. He had to work or starve."
Dick applied for a job-just any job.
The ranch foreman inquired whether
the boy could cook. And Dick, who had
e fried a pan of potatoes in his life,
promptly replied: Eyes, I'm a good
cook"
For, he says, I knew I could make of
myself a good cook because there isn't
a thing a man can't do If he just makes
up his mind to do it. And SO the in
experienced lad of 10 took the job as
cook for a big ranch. He put his en-
tire nina and heart into the work and
built up a reputation as one of the best
cooks In the west. He goes into detail
over the three-decker pie he invented.
"A layer Of crust in a deep pan," he
explains, then a layer of berries, then
another layer Of crust, and SO on until
you get to the top. And did the Hyram
Kelly cowboys go for that pie when I
took it out of the Oven!"
But Dicks ambitions scared higher
than the art of pie making. He had
ventured into the west because he
wanted to be a prospector. And SO,
with a capital Of $3.50 he had saved in
wages he struck out for himself. He
came up into Montana territory, where
already big gold strikes we're exciting
attention and leased the Magma Charta
mine. He was lucky. In a short time

NEGRO KILLED MONDAY
ON STOCKTON ROAD

An accident which resulted fatally
to a colored man whose surname is
Hudson, occurred on the Pocomoke-
Stockton road, about 4:45 p. M, We'd
nesday.
AS related, truck, owned by a Mr..
Shockley and loaded with piling, in
attempting to enter the concrete road
from a lateral dirt highway, became
stuck in the mud juts as the rear
wheels were about to negotiate the
turn.
This position left the main length
of the truck directly across the road.
Hudson. the negro, in the fast failing
light, and his windshield probably
dimmed by falling rain, did not see
the obstruction and dashed full speed
into it. He was killed instantly. The
case was taken in charge by a road
official and jury of inquest sum-
moned, whose verdict at this writing
is not known. It probably will re-
turn a judgment of unavoidable ac-
cident."

CANAL MEETING
AT SNOW HILL
FRIDAY, NOV. s
Colonel E. J. Dent, District En-.
gineer, Meets Citizens In
Behalf OF Waterway

A we'll attended meeting was held
in Snow Hill on Friday afternoon OF
last week, said meeting being in the
interest of a proposed canal connect
ing Pocomoke River with Sinepuxent
Bay.
Colonel E. j. Dent, District Engi-
neer; John S. Doyle, Senior Engineer;
C. C. Warner, Assistant Engineer,
Congressman T. Alan Goldsborough;
and Mr.. Mcdonald, Public Stenograph
er, were present and received both
oral and written reports of the peo-
ject.
The Canal was discussed both pro
and con, and Colonel Dent took the
matter under consideration. Such OBJ
jections as that fresh water from the
River into the bay might injure the
sea-food industry; that pollution from
the sewage systems of Snow Hill
and Pocomoke might also be deleter,
ious; and that such advantages that
might arise would not be we'll dis
tributed.
Arguments for the waterway in
cluded statements as to increase of
traffic transportation, in the event of
the dredging of the mouth of POGO
moke River - which Congressman
Goldsborough said was assured. The
fact that such canal with the POGO
moke River would constitute link in
the inside route from the North to
the South, was also emphasized. And
the commercial and pleasure values
were offered in extenuation.
Altogether, the arguments for were
much stronger than those against, and
the outlook for the canal seems very
favorable indeed.

TEXAS CITIZENS
AVENCE CRIME
BY LYNCHINC
Two Negroes Strung Up For AS
sault And Murder Of A
High School Girl
OFFICIALS CONDONE HANG
ING AS RIGHT PUNISHMENT

Two negro lads, one Is, the othe
16, were lynched at Columbus, Texas
last Tuesday night, for crimianlly as
a 19-year old white girl
q high school graduate.
The Baltimore Sun" has the fol
lowing to say, editorally on the in
cident:
Late editions of The Sun yester-
day contained a dispatch from
Texas of the lynching of two Ne
gro boys and a dispatch from
West Virginia of the apparent
lynching of foreman of the Civil
liam Conservation Corps. In the
latter case, authorities decided
later the man had committed
suicide. In the case of the Texas
Negroes there was no question.
They were hanged by mob Of
TOO persons. Several women were
present.
To make the lynching more dis
astrous to, law and order, the
county authorities apparently
condone the crime. The county
attorney calls it ian expression
of the will of the people," and
declines to speak Of the lynching
group as a mob. He terms the
action an execution" The coun-
ty Judge, while asserting he op-
poses lynching, declines to con-
denim "those citizens who melted
justice to the murderers." His,
reason is that the Negroes, one
of whom was Is years old and the
other 16, could not legally have
been executed in Texas. They
could not, therefore, he reasons
have been "adequately punished,
for their alleged attack on and
murder Of a young white girl.
Such a state of affairs as is in
Dictated by the expressions of
these officers cannot exist in a
truly civilized community. The
State of Texas should take steps
to apprehend and punish leaders
of the mob.
The final sentence in the abov
editorial declares "the State of Texa
should take steps to apprehend an
punish leaders of the mob -.
The Democrat is of the opinion that
since Furnishing such criminal
through regular procedure of the law
does not put stop to the revolving
crime of rape, so, also, furnishing lead
ers of the "mob" wouldn't put a sto]
to the next lynching. One seems t.
be the complement of the other. TIL
