MAGISTRATE COURT BINDS OVER CASE Arising out of Fight Taking Piace May 23th Near Here } ?? * NO SERIOUS INJURY OfJ EITHER PARTY i Prosecutor Was Riding Bicycle When S p ok en to by I Defendant. Last Fri.iay in the court of Ma.iris it rate W. II. Chestnut, there was a I % 4f preliminary hearing in the ease of * The State vs. IJoyd Lupo, charged in a warrant sworn out by a young # man named Stanley, with committing p' an assault and battery with intent to kill on May 20th, near the residence of Mrs. Todd some miles out from Conway on the Reaves Kerry road. As it was a preliminary hearing the defendant was not allowed to place his witnesses on the stand at all. Only the witnesses for the State wore called and they were few in number, as I all of those named in the warrant as * witnesses were not placed on the stand. The substance of the testimony was that as Stanley passed along on a bicycle, Lupo called to him in a manner that was rude with profane language to which Stanley rc1 plied in like manner and got down from his bicycle he was riding and wont back to meet Lupo. The main ,0 witness for the prosecution was the prosecutor himself who testified that as he was going along the road he was hailed by Mr. Lupo with ugly language and that he replied in kind, and that Lupo came toward him with his knife open and that lie met Lupo back ^on the way; that Lupo placed his knife on his neck and asked him if he did not think he would cut his throat, j *fhat the other hoys in the crowd parted them and that he Stanley started ' to get back on his wheel and continue I his way and was then knocked on the * head by Lupo with his knife closed up ' in his hand. He claimed that he was i! also struck in the face. Lupo's side | of the case will not come out until the I next term of the criminal court to | v^vhich higher court the magistrate | bound the defendant over. According | to statements made by other parties I present when the row took place, the B prosecutor made threats of cutting and shooting the defendant, and that he placed his hand in Ids hip pockets E and acted as if lie could carry out his B threat. As the case has been sent up B for trial before a jury in the court of vieneral Sessions, the whole matter H will be threshed out next September when the criminal court conies round.

SCORE ARE INJURED 1 Trestle Where These Trains Met is Over 200 Feet High. Eight persons are known to have eon killed and from 12 to 14 injured in a headon collision between the Pdue Mountain special and a local train on the Western Maryland railroad near the Mason and Dixon line last Thursday. The trains met at high speed on a bridge spanning a deep ravine between Ilig'ntield and Thurmont, and it is feared some of the passengers were, thrown from the bridge. The location of the wreck is isolated i anil darkness prevented vapid search Tolograph wires were cavtded down and it was difficult to obtain information. The engines were telescoped, throe members of the engine crews and a baggage master being killed. Three and probably four passengers were killed. The identified dead are Charles Cook, engineer on the accommodation train; Charles R. Fritz, fireman; Luther Hull, baggageman; Mrs. Chipcase, of llaltimore, and her son. A baggage car apparently was the only one that left the bridce. hnf n ? parlor car was suspended over the side l All the cars of the special train were of steel construction. The injured were taken to Hagerstown and Thurmont but the relief work was difficult. The private car of President Gray, containing a number of officials of the Western Maryland, was on the train, but none of the officials was killed. The bridge on which the accident occurred is 200 feet high and it was considered miraculous that both trains were not precipitated to the bottom of the ravine. A mistake in orders is believed to have caused the wreck. o Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Spivey Entertain; Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Spivey gave a reception on Friday evening last from 8:00 to 11 o'clock, at their beautiful home, "The Lakewood," on the corner of Main and Fifth Avenue, complimentary to thp teachers attending the Conway Summer School. The evening's program was diverged from to some extent, owing to the inclement of the weather. However, the guests, knowing well that the hos of the ownhig had a treat in store for them, donned cloaks and wraps consistent with the weather man's conception, and at the appointed hour, begun to arrive in large numht rs. The guests were greeted at the door by Mr. -J. < . Spivov, then ushered into ie nai'ior - ad presented to the receiving line which was headed by .Mr. and Mrs. t). A. Spivoy. Kach guest was a .-ho rod <n down the receiving line, through spa. Jons rooms and halls, where enchanting smiles and merry voices filled the air with a subtle ether of welcome; and last but not least, into the (lining room where beautiful little g'rls served refreshments. With every nook and corner filled, the evening progressed with case and grace, several of the guests, adding to the already pleasant occassion by rendering songs and recitations. Col. Spivov had privately chartered the Casino theatre for the evening, and at I 1:00 o'clock, all filed in line and attended the show, from whence all journeyed homeward where in thoughts of each and every one this pleasant occassion will long be remembered. 1) DEATH.
