VIRGINIA WATER PROJECT
UNFAVORABLY REPORTED

Earl l. Brown, Division Engineer
u. S. Engineer Office, has reported
unfavorably on the proposition for the
improvement of waters connecting
Cherrystone Channel with Cape Char
les.
Notice from the Office of the Divi-
sion Engineer says in connection with:
"the establishment of harbor of re-
fuge at Cape Charles with a mini
mum depth of 10 feet, the report there
on, authorized by the River and Har-
Dor Act of August 80, 1885, has been
made, and is unfavorable to the re-
quest of some local interests in that
a harbor at the site of the Peninsula
Terminal Corporation is not recon-
mended on the grounds that harbor
in the vicinity of the railroad harbor
can be constructed much more cheap
ly and will be reasonably satisfactory
for the needs of all boats which would
use such harbor."

It is understood that Immediately
after the survey is finished and the
necessary right-of-way has been Sc
cured, bids for the laying of the road
will be advertised for by the State
Roads Commission and that the road
will be begun as soon as the contract

For many years the citizens of that

THIEF CONFESSED TO
STEALING COW IN CARROLL

A resident of near New Market
last Thursday night confessed, authori
ties said, that he stole a cow from a
county barnyard and sold it two hours
later for slaughter to the Eastern
Livestock market in Baltimore.
The man was Millard T. Lease,
about %, near New Market. He was
arrested following an investigation
by Sheriff Hiltner and lodged in Jail
for action of the Frederick county
grand jury. The sheriff said that
Lease made a complete admission of
the theft.
The man is said to have confessed
that he went to the barnyard of Roy
Thompson, who makes his residence
about two miles east of New London
about / o'clock Tuesday morning with
truck, turned out the light, backed
it up to the yard and loaded the cow
on the truck. He then took the cow
valued at $75 by Thompson to Balti-
more where he sold it for $3.50. Of
ficers recovered $11 on his person.
Thompson told Sheriff Hiltner that
he missed the cow when he went to
the barnyard to milk about 4:30 a. m.
Tuesday and although there appear
ed to be no way in which the animal
could have gotten away, he did not
notify the county authorities until
Tuesday night. Wednesday morning,
the sheriff and Thompson went to the
Union Stock Yards in Baltimore and,
although the cow was not found, GER
tain information was procured that
pointed to Lease. Sheriff Hiltner
then started on the trail of the man
and his arrest followed Thursday
night.

,H11NTA RS WARNED OF
CATCHn NG SPOTTED FEVER

With the on. ming of the rabbit hunt
;ng season tho State Board of health
and the Game an | Fish Commission
are warning hunt~> IS market men,
housewives and ot&A, rs who handle
wild rabbits to guard against catch
ing tularemia or rabbit lever."
The disease is contracted through
exposure when handling flesh, or
skinning infected game animals, es>
pecially rabbits. While no cases have
been reported since 1895 in this State,
the seasonal prevalence always occurs
during the height of the hunting sea-
son, and those coming into possible
contact with it are being urged to use
all possible precautions. Since the
disease results in severe discomfort to
the sufferer, and no specific treat
ment is known, it is hoped that per-
sons having occasion to handle wild
rabbits will abide by the warning is
sued.
1. Never put your unprotected
hands, especially if they have been
cut or scratched, inside a wild rabbit.
2. If possible, wear rubber gloves
when handling the uncooked flesh of
wild rabbits.
8. If you do not have rubber gloves
at least wash your hands well with
soap and water after handling rabbit
flesh.
4. The flesh of wild rabbits must
be thoroughly cooked-so well cooked
that there is no red meat nor any juice
near the bone.
5. Do not use for food, the flesh
of any rabbit found dead, or which
acts as if sick before it is shot. The
rabbit which does not try to escape
is probably sick.
It usually takes the germs of tul
aremia about three days to cause i'll
ness, and then the patient will rur
high fever accompanied by muscular
pains, chills, headaches, backaches
sweating and severe prostratior
These acute symptoms may persist

south, one of which, owned and oper-
ated by Mr. Edgar Sturgis, Jr., cut
out of the line and the two cars
crashed almost head-on. The Scott
machine was forced from the road and
turned over; the Sturgis machine did
not turn over but was thrown across
the road and turned completely around
Mr.. Sturgis was not injured, nor was
Mr.. Parker; Mr.. Forrest suffered
slight bruises.
The total damage to the two ma
chimes will probably reach $4,000 and
it is understood that the Scott car
was uninsured but the Sturgis loss
was covered.
