A YOUNG MAN SUICIDES.
He Was in Love With a Former Garrett
County Maiden.
HER PARENTS STRONGLY OBJECTED
Which Made Him Feel, he said, as Though
he Would Lose his Mind. Bullet
Ends All His Troubles.

George r. Gabbart, a bricklayer
and contractor, aged twenty-seven
years, shot himself through the heart
in his room at the Randolph hotel at
Elkins, West Va, shortly after noon
on Monday of this week. The door
OF the room was forced open immedi-
ately after the shot was heard but
the young man breathed his last be
fore medical aid could reach him.
He was engaged to be married to
Miss Grace Riley, daughter of eX-
Sheriff John II. Riley, of Garrett
county. who removed to Elkins from
Oakland a few years ago Miss Riley
Isl beautiful and accomplished young
lady. Gabbart's suit for her hand
was not favorably received by her
parents, who forbade him the house.
Up to few weeks ago he was a board
er with Mr.. Riley, but when the rela-
tions existing between his daughter
and Gabbart were communicated to
him he at once told Gabbart to leave
the premises, which he did and took
rooms at the hotel above mentioned.
Shortly after this occurred Miss
Riley come to Oakland TO visit friends
for few days, returning to her home
last Wednesday. Whilst here Gal
bart made her visit and an agree
ment was made between them to
meet at Il given point on the Satur-
day evening following. Miss RiIey's
parents became aware OF this arrange
ment and stopped it by sending her to
Alabama, where she is to become a
student il a boarding school.
On Monday Gabbart bought re-
volver at a hardware store and then
repaired to his room. He wrote sew
eral letters, among them being one to
his father and another to Miss Riley.
In the letter to his father Gabbart
gave directions about work he had on
hand and declared that he believed
he would lose his mind worrying over
his love affair. He gave explicit
directions concerning his funeral and
closed by bidding him an atfectionate
farewell.
He was young man of exemplary
character and was most successful III
his business.
The affair is very sad and the sym
pathy elected here for Miss Riley is
marked, as she is a general favorite
with the people of Oakland.

found that they were the result Of
spontaneous combustion, owing to
hay or other new crops while in pro
cess of fermentation evolving heat
sufficient to produce fire. If farmers
wish to prevent their hay stacks or
barns from firing, they need only
scatter few handouts of common
salt between the layers. The theory
is that the salt by absorbing the hui
Nudity of the hay not only prevents
its fermentation and consequent heat
ing, but it also adds a salty taste to
this forage which all cattle like, and
besides it stimulates the appetite and
assists their digestion and SO pre-
serves them from many diseases.

There is a municipal law against
throwing paper, trash or refuse of any
kind into the streets and alleys of Oak
land. This law is very good one
and should be rigidily enforced by
the authorities. Aside from making
everything look unsighdy it is a dam
gerous practice. 1t breeds disease;
it causes horses TO scare by blowing
about the streets and it clogs up the
mouths of the sewers. This law is
broken every day but if it were enforc-
ed few times our streets would
look much better and probably fewer
frightened horses would be the result.
Newspaper men who run a Job office
in connection with their paper, have
been having a pretty difficult time in
competing with the government in
printing envelopes. Business men
who have been in the habit of using
government stamped envelopes will
note the fact that so soon as the pres
ent contract FOR printing runs out you
can get envelopes printed at your
home Office only, as the government
will no longer stay in the business of
printing return cards on envelopes.
Also by recent ruling, your letters
will be held thirty days unless you
have printed on the envelope the
time you wish it held-EX.

evening last by his horses taking

the vehicle in which he was riding,
breaking his left leg, disIocating his
shoulder and receiving many severe
bruises about the head His physi-

4 Jail Delivery N.pped.

Yesterday at noon Deputy Sheriff
William Brown had occasion to go
into the Jail proper and caught a num-
Der of the prisoners engaged in cutt-
ing the bars at one of the west win
dows. The tool used for the purpose
was procured from one of the iron
cots in use in the Jail and was fashion
ed into a chisel. With this instru-
ment nearly all the bars had been cut
and no doubt the prisoners would
have been free in few minutes lon
ger had it not been for the timely
arrival of Mr.. Brown. He at once or
dered every man to the cells. All went
except Flynn, the largest and surliest
of the number, and he had to be fore
ed to his cell at the point of a revol-
yer. The prisoners were all put on a
bread and water diet and they will
receive nothing but the above until
they promise better behavior.
