money to build new court house and
Jail had won or lost. He believed, how
ever, that the majority was against it.

with an electric road from Grantsville to
Frostburg hundreds of people could come
down to testify before the grand jury
where only few can afford to travel
40 miles to Oakland and back and be
away from home 3 days for that pur-
pose 1t was one of the strongest pre-

terprise, the JOURNAL has heard since
1876.
