After Tying His Horse to Tree Stroman Investigates and Secures Details of the Trouble The old Glenwood Road was the scene of excitement shortly arter 9 oclock last night when a fight broke out in a band or gypsies who have been en camped near the old wine house on that road for some months past For almost an hour the woods rang with cries of murder and police and the fighters as they rained blow after blow upon each other were observed by passen- gers on the electric railway en route to Brookland After the fight had come to an end the band hurriedly packed up their belong- ings and were soon driving madly up the deserted road in the direction of Brlghtwood leaving behind them one ot their number James Smith who was painfully cut about the face and hands Policeman Goes to Scene In the meantime the passengers on the electric cars had Informed Policeman Stroman at Brookland He immediate- ly boarded a car and went to the scene of the disturbance Upon arriving at the gypsy encampment however he found nothing left but a few smoldering fires He thea discovered Smith who lay on the grass ciprlngas though In great pain Upon questioning him the policeman learned that the fight grew out of fact that Smith had come into the camp In intoxicated condition and had be- come involved In a quarrel with another member of the band whose name be said was Archie Lovell Thwargument- betweou two bad become heated that were struck he said in a few minutes both fighters were rolling on the ground Smith claimed that Lovell during the progress of the fistic combat seized a heavy piece of wood and struck him in the face tearing the skin badly and covering him with blood The lighting then became general the friends of combatants lining up against each other In a few minutes the camp presented an animated appearance the men fighters being distinctly seen by citizens as they wrestled and slugged before camp fires Now and then when aa un- usually clever bloW had been inflicted by one side or another the female ele- ment would rejoice in loud cries their voices being heard for almost a mile through the woods Band Moves Away Hurriedly Grrdualfy however the combatants tired and fearing that the police would saorUy be upon them deemed it best to IeVe the place Accordingly tents were quickly struck and all the lug gage packed in wagons The horses which had been left ia the woods to graze were started after It some little time to secure them as the animals frightened the cries from the camp during the fight had scattered Into the woods They finally M- cijred however and hitched up galloped from the woods on to the road and struck a lively gait In the direction of Brightwood The only person left behind was Smith whose face and clothing were marked with bloodstains Before leav- ing him the gypsy leaders tied beside iim his but left nothing else of his property The Injured Mans Story He explained as well as lie could to Policeman Stroman the cause of the trouble It had been the desire of cer- tain members of the band h said to make him leave the camp but that ie and his friends objected to action and the fight ensued He was extremely desirous of securing a warrant for his assailant but Policeman Stroman in formed him that under the circum- stances nothing could be done as in all probability his assailants were then well on their way outside of the District line With tint assistance of the policeman Smith the blood from his face and clotS He then mounted his horse hreatening dire vengeance upon the heads of his enemies and galloped In the direction taken by the main body The citizens of Brookland heaTed a sigh of relief when they heard of the bands departure It is said that for some time past the band which arrived hire about three months ago indulged ia brawls almost nightly and was a ter- ror to citizens who sometimes walked- or drove past their encampment ELECT TWO NEW MEMBERS Miss Smith and Mr Bogely Become Humane Society Workers At the regular

INVALID Mr Request for Cancelation Approved- The District Commissioners recently received from Mr Fred McKee attorney for Mr Don A Sanford a request for the cancellation of the taA sale of lots 4 and 5 square 699 bounded by North Capitol First Street oat P and Q Streets The taxes fur which the lots sold in April of year were as- sessments for sewer amounting to 5143 on each lot The ground for the request to the effect tiaat the notice of as isessment was wrongly served upon Au gustus Burgdorf who at the time did not own the property The application was referrol to Assessor and by him to J W Daniel special assessment clerk The latter submitted the following statement rela tive to the records in the ease Assessment for sewer acaiast lots 4 and 5 square O was levied May 11 1SS3 at which time the lots stood OR the books of Assessors Office in name of Augustus Burgdorf and bills left at his place of business with his son They were never returned and this office bad no knowledge that the service of the bills Mas not valid until March 31 1992 when Mr Sanford culled at- tention to the fact and bills were at once servei upon him The lots ramed were at that time ad vertised for sale inAprll 1902 for non payment not only ot the assessments mentioned Mr McKee but assessments for water main curb and paving alle3 The only error IB of sale was in date from which intetest was charged viz July 22 1S S Interest should have cal- culated from March 31 19K the date of service of bills jspon Xr Sanford Whether this error iItlst the sale I am unable to say Mr II II Darneille the Assessor ia forwarding the above report to the added the following state mentThe act of August 7 1884 under which special aisessraents are levied pro- vides in as follows and interest shall be charged at the rate of S per ent per annum from the date of the service of such notice on all amounts which shall remain unpaid at the expiration of sixty days after serv- ice of notice of such assessment Said act also provides Any property upon which such assessment and ac- crued interest thereon or any part thereof shall remain unpaid at the ex piration of two years from the date of service of notice of such assessment shall be subject to sain therefor Bidder the same conditions penalties which are imposed by existing laws for the nonpayment of general taxes and any property assessed as herein provid ed for shell become liable to sale for any other assessment or tax whatever then the assessment Ievid under this act shall become immediately due and payable and the property against which they are levied may be sold therefor together with the accrued interest there on and t e cost of advertising to the date of such sale Although the notice in this ease was not served upon the owner uatil March 31 1902 the property was salable for these assessments for the reason that other a Ss mentg for paving alley and water main were due and payable on the property However It will be seen from the report of the Special Assess- ment Clerk that there was included n the sale interest on these assessments for nearly four years more than should have bein included As it is too late to correct this er ror the sale In my opinion Is invalid and I haw the honor to recommend that the sale of lot 5 square 669 assessed- to Don A Sanford sold April 10 102 to C H WilOrfe for 19246 and of lot 4 square 669 assessed to Don A San ford sold April 10 1S2 to the Securi ties Company for 1247 be canceled and the purchase money refunded ac cording to law Colored Club Elects Officers regular monthly meeting of

there fcr the fiscal year ended on June 39 last The receipts of the market were 1 23 being rent of stands 1995 and collection from farm- ers occupying space in the market 128 The expenditures were for the salary of the master 08 and 5240 for a the market This is a small market says Mr Williams eontaininc only twentytwo stands to rent at 5 per month for each stand fifteen of which are rented and seven are vacant Several who had stands in the market vacated them to do business elsewhere and I find it a difficult matter to stands ia the market in consequence of so many provision stores and a large market in the center of the town Very few farm ers attend this market because they have no space in which they can keep their wagons therefore they have to put their produce In the market and take their teams away I have made this statement in order that the matter may be fully understood why the income the Georgetown Market is so small I have the honor as directed to sub mit to you the

The old Glenwood Road was the sceneof excitement shortly arter 9 oclocklast night when a fight broke out in aband or gypsies who have been encamped near the old wine house on thatroad for some months past For almostan hour the woods rang with cries of

murder and police and the fightersas they rained blow after blow uponeach other were observed by passen-gers on the electric railway en route toBrookland

After the fight had come to an end theband hurriedly packed up their belong-ings and were soon driving madly up thedeserted road in the direction ofBrlghtwood leaving behind them one ottheir number James Smith who waspainfully cut about the face and hands

Policeman Goes to SceneIn the meantime the passengers on the

electric cars had Informed PolicemanStroman at Brookland He immediate-ly boarded a car and went to the sceneof the disturbance Upon arriving at thegypsy encampment however he foundnothing left but a few smoldering firesHe thea discovered Smith who lay onthe grass ciprlngas though In great pain

Upon questioning him the policemanlearned that the fight grew out offact that Smith had come into the campIn intoxicated condition and had be-

come involved In a quarrel with anothermember of the band whose name besaid was Archie Lovell Thwargument-betweou two bad become heatedthat were struck he said ina few minutes both fighters were rollingon the ground

Smith claimed that Lovell during theprogress of the fistic combat seized aheavy piece of wood and struck him inthe face tearing the skin badly andcovering him with blood The lightingthen became general the friends ofcombatants lining up against each otherIn a few minutes the camp presented ananimated appearance the men fightersbeing distinctly seen by citizens asthey wrestled and slugged beforecamp fires Now and then when aa un-usually clever bloW had been inflictedby one side or another the female ele-ment would rejoice in loud cries theirvoices being heard for almost a milethrough the woods

Band Moves Away HurriedlyGrrdualfy however the combatants

tired and fearing that the police wouldsaorUy be upon them deemed it bestto IeVe the place Accordingly tentswere quickly struck and all the luggage packed in wagons The horseswhich had been left ia the woods tograze were started after Itsome little time to secure them as theanimals frightened the cries fromthe camp during the fight had scatteredInto the woods They finally M-cijred however and hitched up gallopedfrom the woods on to the road andstruck a lively gait In the direction ofBrightwood

The only person left behind wasSmith whose face and clothing weremarked with bloodstains Before leav-ing him the gypsy leaders tied besideiim his but left nothing else ofhis property

The Injured Mans StoryHe explained as well as lie could to

Policeman Stroman the cause of thetrouble It had been the desire of cer-tain members of the band h said tomake him leave the camp but that ieand his friends objected to actionand the fight ensued He was extremelydesirous of securing a warrant for hisassailant but Policeman Stroman informed him that under the circum-stances nothing could be done as in allprobability his assailants were thenwell on their way outside of the Districtline

With tint assistance of the policemanSmith the blood from his faceand clotS He then mounted hishorse hreatening dire vengeance uponthe heads of his enemies and gallopedIn the direction taken by the main body

The citizens of Brookland heaTed asigh of relief when they heard of thebands departure It is said that forsome time past the band which arrivedhire about three months ago indulgedia brawls almost nightly and was a ter-ror to citizens who sometimes walked-or drove past their encampment

PROPERTY SOLD AT TAX

SALE DECLARED INVALID

Mr Request forCancelation Approved-

The District Commissioners recentlyreceived from Mr Fred McKee attorneyfor Mr Don A Sanford a request forthe cancellation of the taA sale of lots4 and 5 square 699 bounded by NorthCapitol First Street oat P and Q

Streets The taxes fur which the lotssold in April of year were as-

sessments for sewer amounting to 5143on each lot The ground for the request

to the effect tiaat the notice of asisessment was wrongly served upon Augustus Burgdorf who at the time didnot own the property

The application was referrol toAssessor and by him to J W Danielspecial assessment clerk The lattersubmitted the following statement relative to the records in the ease

Assessment for sewer acaiast lots 4

and 5 square O was levied May 11

1SS3 at which time the lots stood OR

the books of Assessors Office in nameof Augustus Burgdorf and billsleft at his place of business with hisson They were never returned and thisoffice bad no knowledge that the serviceof the bills Mas not valid until March31 1992 when Mr Sanford culled at-tention to the fact and bills were atonce servei upon him

The lots ramed were at that time advertised for sale inAprll 1902 for nonpayment not only ot the assessmentsmentioned Mr McKee butassessments for water main curb andpaving alle3 The only error IB

of sale was in date fromwhich intetest was charged viz July22 1S S Interest should have cal-culated from March 31 19K the dateof service of bills jspon Xr SanfordWhether this error iItlst the sale Iam unable to say

Mr II II Darneille the Assessor iaforwarding the above report to the

added the following statementThe act of August 7 1884 under whichspecial aisessraents are levied pro-vides in as follows andinterest shall be charged at the rateof S per ent per annum from the dateof the service of such notice on allamounts which shall remain unpaid atthe expiration of sixty days after serv-ice of notice of such assessmentSaid act also provides Any propertyupon which such assessment and ac-

crued interest thereon or any partthereof shall remain unpaid at the expiration of two years from the date ofservice of notice of such assessmentshall be subject to sain therefor Bidderthe same conditions penalties whichare imposed by existing laws for thenonpayment of general taxes andany property assessed as herein provided for shell become liable to sale forany other assessment or tax whateverthen the assessment Ievid under thisact shall become immediately due andpayable and the property against whichthey are levied may be sold therefortogether with the accrued interest thereon and t e cost of advertising to thedate of such sale

Although the notice in this ease wasnot served upon the owner uatil March31 1902 the property was salable forthese assessments for the reason thatother a Ss mentg for paving alley andwater main were due and payable onthe property However It will be seenfrom the report of the Special Assess-ment Clerk that there was included nthe sale interest on these assessmentsfor nearly four years more than shouldhave bein included

As it is too late to correct this error the sale In my opinion Is invalidand I haw the honor to recommend thatthe sale of lot 5 square 669 assessed-to Don A Sanford sold April 10 102to C H WilOrfe for 19246 and of lot4 square 669 assessed to Don A Sanford sold April 10 1S2 to the Securities Company for 1247 be canceledand the purchase money refunded according to law
