come up before Justice Roddewig at

defendant took u change of venue to
Justice Finger, and the mater has
been postponed while the parties are

another brought before some of the
justices of the county where the local
officials would not have to do any
thing with the matter. Mr.. Schake is to
fight the case and has engaged At
torney Louis Block TO defend him.

DAVENPORT DOTS

One OF. the most revolving crimes
that has come to the attention of the
police department for some time was
brought to light Wednesday night
when 1. b. Miller was arrested ON a
charge of attempted assault on little
girl. As there was not enough evil
dence to prove the crime, however, he
was charged with assault and battery
and given 80 days in Jail. In pronounc-
ing the sentence the judge stated that
he was sorry that he could not give
him more severe sentence, and told
him that when he got out it would be
well for him to shake the dust of
Davenport from his feet as quickly as
possible.

young that come to Brookside.
The special amusements are tennis,
croquet, bowling, pool, Manhattan,

Inc OIL excitement in the vicinity
OF FInzel, this county, has not abate-
ed IN the least, but the people are busy
making preparations to hasten the
work of developing the hidden min
erals and wealth of that section.
The Tuscarora Oil Company. which
Is operating in the Narrows near
Cumberland, has sunk a hole since
last Sunday midnight, when the
drill was started, to depth at this
time OF one hundred and ninety feet.
Who the operators are aside from
the knowledge that they are North
ern capitalists, it is impossible to
learn, but they evidently mean bust
ness, as the outfit and equipment is
very complete and designed to 90 TO
depth of a thousand feet or more.
This company has floated no stock
whereby to raise capital to push the
work thereby testifying their inter
est and belief in the project.
The company at Philson's station.
over the line in Pennsylvania is max
ing excellent progress. The hole has
reached depth of six hundred feet
and it is understood that the opera
tors have discovered some of the fin
est indications for oil and are very
much elated over the prospect before
them. They have unlimited capital.
the company being composed of bust
ness men of ability. No stock of this
company has been ioated and the
stockholders have every faith in
their ultimate success; indeed.;they
claim their success is already assur-
ed.
The gentlemen from Oil City, Pa,
who are boring near Finzel are down
about two hundred feet. They have
struck very hard rock and theJwork
is slow. The manager visited the
workings on last Saturday and made
arrangements to begin drilling anoth
er well shortly. The men composing
the corporation are practical and are
making every preparation to get in
additional machinery and hope to be
able to have third drill going,wit hin
short time. Meanwhile the excite
ment is growing.
An expert from Pittsburg has spent
two weeks in the vicinity of the oper-
atloDs making observations and saws
that the chances for success are ex-
tremelY good.
The company of gentlemen who
were mentioned in this paper last
week are at work quietly, and it is
understood from good authority that
they have secured options on upward
OF six thousand acres of land on the
most favorable terms. That thew
mean to make a great effort toward
development goes without saying.
1t is said that some competent
chemists have made fiattering reports
on specimens furnished them.
A wealthy capitalist of Boston Wis
tied Finzel one day recently, going
away very much pleased with the
work accomplished.
1t may be that the prophecy made
recently with respect to the exist
ence of oil in the vicinity of Finzel
may be fulfilled.

Ginseng Root Gatherer Found in the
Woods.
While Samuel Rosenberg was gath
ering berries in the mountain near
German, Monday, he found William
l.. Micheal lying under tree, fright
fully burned and unconscious.
1t appears that Michael, who is
about q years of age, lives in the
mountains and gathers ginseng root.
He had evidently fallen asleep beside
fire which set fire to his clothing.
After extinguishing the flames he had
dragged himself by his hand at least
a hundred yards from the fire taking
with him loaf of bread. Unable to
go any further he was compelled to
wait for some one to find him.
Mr.. Rosenberg went for assistance
and Michaels was taken to German
and cared for until Tuesday morning.
when he was taken on a West Virginia
Central train to West Virginia June
ton and removed to his home.
Michaels is horribly burned and it
is not thought he will recover. He
has wife living near West Virginia
junction, at which place his parents
and two sisters also live.

one wounds, the last kills. But if he
is journeying upon a good road
pleasant thoughts come to him. He
has opportunity to think. He has
opportunity to take in whatever is
pleasant around him. He will enjoy
conversation with his companions,
and when he gets to town he is rat
ional, contented man, ready to face
the next duty in life, whatever it
may be.
But it is not only in saving that
good roads are economical. See what
they produce-increasing population
better society, better schools and in
creased value of property. Just as
soon as you get good road in your
neighborhood the value of your land
upon each side of it will more than
pay for its building. There is not a

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK.

Sunday night about nine o'clock
while the occupants of Hawthorne
Cottage were attending church, a
slight fire broke out in the building
which was discovered few minutes
later by Glen Percy, ii lad living near.
When he noticed the fire the flames
were emerging from the south end of
the roof. He Immediately gave alarm
and in a few minutes a large crowd
had assembled and a bucket brigade
formed. In a short time the fire was
extinguished, entailing but slight
damage to the building itself. Had
the blaze not been discovered it is
probable that the entire structure
would have been burned to the
ground. The fire was caused by the
explosion of lamp which had been
left burning in one of the rooms. The
loss to the tenants of the cottage will
probably reach $75.

NOMINATION..
'Not in Any Combine He Says, and Is
Not Opposing Friends of Senator Nc
Comas For The Legislature-DIr. r. II.
Henderson for Associate Judge

CUMBERLAND, Md, Aug. 5.-Ex-
Gov. Lloyd Lowndes is in a philo-
sophical frame of mind about the
political situation in Allegany county
and in the State. He discussed the
conditions freely and candidly this
morning to a representative of the
San, frankly defining his position at
this time.
" Are You a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for Governor? -
he was asked.
TO this pointed inquiry Governor
Lowndes replied as follows:
II have been spoken of and spoken
to a great deal upon that subject.
But at this time l cannot answer the
question satisfactorily. My position
has not been determined by me ex-
cept this far: l will not go into a
primary election contest for the nomi-
nation. | have not determined yet
whether want to be Governor again
The delegation from Allegany county
to the State Convention will be COM
posed of my friends. There will, as |
understand it, be no contest at the
primaries in this county on August
%, when the county convention will
be chosen. That county convention
will select delegates to the State Con
vention, believe, who are my friends,
and will select delegates to the
Judicial Convention in favor of the
nomination of Mr.. r. R. Henderson
for Judge.
''If the State Convention should
offer me the nomination for Governor
it will be for me to consider it. But
of course will neither accept it nor
refuse it before it is offered. Much
has been said about the 'Lowndes-
Jackson Mudd- Wachter combine l
am not aware that l am in any such
combine. | have upon several occa-
sions been in conference with these
gentlemen and with other party men
throughout the State, but to call it a
combine is to apply a misnomer.
These gentlemen, of course, would
like to have such aid as | can give
them in making their contest in Bal
timore and elsewhere. But | have
never agreed to do this and cannot
see why | SHOULD NEEDLE with the
primaries in the city. If the party
desires me to be a candidate, the
party will have to nominate me. |
will take no active part in my own
nomination. Even here in my own
county | am doing but little. Early
in the season it appeared that Mr..
Pearre desired the nomination for
Judge. Mr.. Richmond desired the
nomination of Mr. Henderson. Then
Mr.. Pearre, who has the party organ
ization in the county with him, said
he would stand aside and support
Mr.. Henderson for the nomination,
provided delegates to the Legislature
favorable to Senator McComas were
nominated. This was assented to-
