1t was reported last week that lit
tie Charley LakeI, formerly of Pied
mont. now of Beaver, Pa, had rup-
tured blood vessel of the lungs
while blowing horn and had died
IA0f hemorrhage. We are happy to say
for the benefit of his numerous rela-
lives in Garrett, as he was related to
the. Hershberger family, that the re.
port is unfOunded and not confirmed.
Charley was a member of the Ander-
son Oand. of Westernport. while a
resident of Piedmont, and on ac-
count of his youthful age and thor
ough mastery of the most difficult
pieces of band music was regarded as
prodigy in the art. He accompan.
led the band GU all their engage
mems during the political campaign
of two years ago, and the little horn,
blower in his regimentals was one of
the main attractions of the occasion.
The bivouac of the G.. A. r. at
Mountain Lake Park, on last Tues

lightful summer home.
We suppose every body has heard
that the main feature of the widely
advertised picnic to be held at Bar
rift on the 23l Of this month is the
target shooting for a purse of $50,
between Capt. Chisholm, of the Hay
makers, of Oakland, and the ex-
chamion rifie-shot, of Elk Garden.
We have just got conceit enough in
Garrett County riflemen to wager our
piIe-if we get one by that time-on
Chisholm.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Bantz added
to the interest of social life in town
on Friday evening by giving a dance
to large number of invited guests.
The evening was just cool enough to
make dancing enjoyable. The ladies
were gay and pretty and the gentle.
men gallant and handsome. Every
one present carried away memories
of most delightful time.

Edward Crow, Superintendent OF
Kane & Co.'s saw mill, at Empire,
passed through town on Monday, in
charge of five very fine draught
horses, to be used on the tram road
and in the woods to get out timber.
The mill has undergone complete
repair and is running steadily every
day. Strange to say, every man en-
ployed about the mill and in the
woods is strong protectionist and a
warm adherent of McCOmas.
