Mr. Frank Ryan, of Carroll, is the most sought man by tax collectors perhaps in the state.
His land lies in four counties, though his residence is in Carroll. Part of his property is in Carroll, part in Frederick, part in Montgomery and part in Howard.
On his property is Parr's Spring, which is the point where the four counties join.
He can put one foot in Frederick county and one in Montgomery, then bend down with one hand in Carroll and the other Howard, and drink water from a spring the centre of which is where the four counties unite.
Democratic Advocate, May 20, 1899.
