On Wednesday, Aug. 1, 1923, the Hampstead Volunteer Fire
Company carnival was accused of running a gambling operation and was shut down
by Carroll County Sheriff William Phillips.
Phillips appeared on the carnival grounds with Carroll
County State's Attorney Theodore F. Brown, and arrested the person in charge of
the carnival's amusements, Thomas Zepp, and hauled him off to jail.
Pandemonium broke loose in Hampstead as a result. This was
especially true because of the significance the Hampstead fireman's carnival
has played in the history of the town…
