An Incident
Summary
At the threat of a Rebel raid to capture Government horses, about 1,400 horses were sent off. Great excitement ensued in the community of Frederick and a local minister, Rev. John Owens, conducted a service in the local Methodist Episcopal Church. During the service, three women walked out. The paper states that the names of the women are known and perhaps their sentiments should cause them to be "sent beyond the Federal lines."
