A peculiar robbery at Jacob Freeze's Thurmont residence saw a thief steal a pocketbook containing 59 and 28 from a bureau during dinner, while the first quarterly meeting of the Frederick Anti Saloon League will feature State Superintendent Nicholson at the Lutheran chapel on East Second Street.

Two young horses on Michael Weishaar's farm near New Market were killed by lightning, found dead in a pasture.
