Default Good MD Area?(may be offensive to some)

Anyone live around here? This area may be good to look at with a detector.If you google 'Murderous Mary',you'll get lots of hits.One guy was bringing his civil war cannon because they didn't have a gun in town that would do the job.Some kind of town.But lots of people there and a circus!

For sure a wild area. I think I would have to hit it myself, Beale.

I think that's the strangest thing I've ever read! Man - they couldn't get away with something like that today...rogue animals ARE euthanized - but not like that!

That's one of the reasons why I dislike circuses & zoos. I never did care to see animals chained or caged especially wild animals...That's just me.
