CUSTER FAMILY SUE
FOR DAMAGES.
Relatives of Late Jarvis Custer Say
Release Was Not Signed Willingly.
WAS STRUCK BY TROLLEY CAR.
Custer Died Soon After Settlement
With Company. Was A Resident
OF Garrett County. Defense Is
that lie Died OF Natural Causes.

Miss Amanda Custer and children.
residing four miles north of Barton,
in Garrett county have entered a suit
against the Westernport and Lonaco-
ming Electric Railway Company for
the death of Jarvis Custer, aged So
years, and will probably claim $10,0Oe
damages. On November II, 1908, Jar
Wis Custer, while driving his wagon
across the trolley tracks at Pekin,
was struck by car end hurled some
distance. He sustained cuts and
bruises, his wagon was broken and
his produce scattered about. He was
able to return home after his injuries
We're dressed, one of the cuts reQuir-
ing stitches and not long after he set
tied with Joseph S. Cofrode, superin-
tendent of the road, for 800. Sew
eral days later Mr.. Custer died. Mrs.
Custer also signed the release. She
claims that she was unwillingly COM
PEELED to do so, while the railroad
people declare that the act of her
husband and herself in signing was
voluntary. They also claim that Mr..
Custer died from natural causes. His
injuries were dressed by DR.. NJ. Glib
son Porter, then of Homecoming, now
residing at Ala Woodlawn Road, Rol-
and Park, Baltimore. d. Lindley
Sloan, Pearre & Lewis and David A.
Robb are attorneys for the plaintiff.

COL PEARRE WILL
ENTER A PROTEST
viii Object in Congress To Giving
MaryIand'S Vote To Parker.
He THINKS THE LEADERS ERRED
When they Decided To Abandon Con-
test In the State-The Doughty
Colonel VIII Not Submit To the
Theft of the States Vote

\ special from Washington, Dee.
p, says:
ut is my intention when the cleo
toral votes of the states are canvassed
in Congress next February to arise
and protest against the acceptance of
the electoral vote of MARYLAND, said
Representative Pearre today. Mr..
Pearre was in his seat today for the
first time this session, and from all
his colleagues he received the warm
est congratulations on his very evil
dent return to complete health.
Il think the program of our party
to abandon the contest against the
action of the state canyassers in Civ
ing the certificates to seven Demo
cratic electors is grave error. We
ought to have made the fight, and |
propose to do what | can to bring
about an investigation of the count
ing OF the returns. | am convinced
that the state went Republican, and
AllChu W sec IL we Gall PROVE IL.
When the vote of Maryland is called
| shall challenge it and give my reas.
ons; and | shall ask that Congress APP
point committee to investigate the
matter.
Il think the leaders of our party
ought not to have laid down. We
owe it to every Republican in the
state who voted the Republican
ticket on election day to at least try
to get justice for him. A man has a
right to cast his vote as he pleases
and he has an equal right to have
that vote counted as he cast it. What
3 pretty spectacle it is to claim that
We Republicans carried the state and
then tamely submit to have it stolen
from us, for one won't submit. If
there is any way of having the cleo
ton investigated shall try TO bring
about an investigation, and if it ac-
comPlishes nothing more it it will at
least prove to the Democratic ma
chine in Maryland that there are
some Republicans in Marylsnd who
will not permit themselves to be
cheated with impunity.'

TO PRESENT NAME
Of B. A. RICHMOND
Prominent Attorney Will Be Urged for
Appointment as Judge AIVeys
Successor.
CUMBERLAND FRIENDS URGE HIM.
Some Upon Whom Support Will Be
COunted.-He Is One of the Brainy
Lawyers OF TIaryIand and in the
Prime of Life.

1t is understood that the friends of
BENJAMIN A. Richmond, ESQ, of Cum
berland, including most likely the
membership of the Allegany county
bar, will present his name to the
President and recommend his APP
pointment as the successor of Richard
H. Alvey, who will soon retire as chief
justice o. the United States Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Richmond has for yeals been re-
garded as one of the leaders of the bar
of Western Maryland and easily one
of the ablest lawyers in the state.
There has been very little litigation
of Importance in Western Maryland
in the past thirty years in which he
has not figured. He is counsel for the
Western Maryland and West Virginia
Central railroads and the Gould in
terests in MARYLAND and represents
about forty corporations in Allegany
county. He has always been pro
found student of the law ana is now
one of the bar examiners of the state.
His friends believe that the bar of
Maryland would generally approve
the appointment of Mr.. Richmond as
one re-eminently fitted to make an
ideal justice of this court.
Mr.. Richmond is now in the prime
of manhood. His friends says they
will leave no stone unturned in pre-
senting his name in such a way that
it will receive the most favorable con-
sideration. 1t is understood that Mr..
Richmond takes kindly to the use of
bis name in connection with the place.

THE P|NEY RUN OIL
AND CAS- COMPANY
Lot Deferred by Failure OF First Well
Putting Down Another Hole.
HAS REACHED DEPTH OF 325 FEET
Location is a Short Distance Removed
From Scene OF First Operation
Well Will Also Be Sunk In Its
West Virginia Holdings. @

The Piney Run Oil and Gas Com
pany started its second well on last
Saturday in the meadows on the
Stustz farm, about six miles north
west of Finzell. Mr.. sIra Logan of
Roch ester, Pa, has the contract and
Lawrence McCandlus, James Morrow,
William Schell and Frank Graham
are the drillers and tool dressers. At
this writing the we'll is down to the
depth of three hundred and twenty
five feet, with fine prospects of sue
cess.
In the well which was abandon
ed by the company on account of
the driller losing the tools in the well,
and not being able to get them out,
the drill penetrated five fine oil sands
at different depths, the well having
reached the depth of sixteen hundred
feet when it was abandoned. Accord
ing to the testimony of expert oil men
when ever the sands are encountered
in sinking test well that is a sure in
dication of oil being found somewhere
wit hin the territory, though not al
ways found in the first well.
Capt. James d. West, the noted
scientist and geologist of the south,
recently visited this territory and pro-
nounced it fine oil territory. A Bra
lillian Government geOlogist recently
visited this territory and gave the
same testimony IS Capt. West, The
L. S. Government Geological Survey
is getting samples from the well for
the purpose of study and comparison,
is being the first attempt to thorough
ly test the country and the result is
being anxiously awaited. The com
pany expects to finish the well within
the next month.
The Lincoln Oil and Gas Company
recently completed a well just north
of this tract and have fine producing
gas we'll which produces oyer one
hundred thousand cubic feet of gas
per day.
Just west of the cOmpanY's land
the Cambria Iron, & Coal Co., of
Johns town, Pa, has secured ten
thousand acres of land, erected der
rick and will shortly commence to
drill for oil, having encountered a
small flow of gas at a depth of four
hundred feet while prospecting with
diamond drill.
The Piney Run OIL and Gas com
pany will start its well in West Vir-
/ ginia on Monday, the 18th. This
tract of land comprising of twenty-siX
! hu ndred acres, lies in Gilmer county
which is entirely surrounded by nine
J ty t thousand acres of land owned by
| the South Penn Oil Co. THIS is one
of the choichest tracts of ore and gas
lands in West Virginia, being seven
miles from the Copley fields, where
Copley gusher poured forth seven
| thousand barrels of oil per day, three
IN lies from Indian Fork, where thirty
( producing wells pour forth their
streams of wealth and but one and a
| half miles from Joes Run, where
! twenty producing wells give forth
/ their greasy product.
The company is pushing the work
rapidly and hope to have a good.pro-
/ duction in each field, which looks
truly promising.

successor viii be when he retires, and
several judges. who have been general

Judge Parker.

OuuSe 7 dI kSI.
The New York Times says A can
vass by the New York Times of the
popular vote at the last Presidential
election, complete, except as to one
county in Tennessee and four counties
in Michigan, for which estimates are
given, shows that President Roose-
welt defeated Judge Parker by 2.546,-
1863. He polled the largest vote ever
given for a President of the United
States. 7,G40, $50. This is more than
10000 in excess of the vote cast for
Mckinley in 1900
THE official figures for Missouri
show that Roosevelt carried that
State by $4,000 votes.
"A comparison with the popular
vote table of 1900 shows a marked
change in the Socialist vote. Debs,
the candidate of the party that year,
was also the candidate this year. His
vote shows an increase of more than
100000.
Watson, the Populist candidate,
ran strongest in his own State, Geor-
gia, where he received 52,635 votes.
He received most of his votes in the
South and West but only one was
cast for him in South Carolina"
The total vote is given as 1854, 119,
and that for each of the Presidential
candidates is given as follows Roose-
welt (Republican), 7,64O,56O Parker
(Democrat), 1904, 391; Debs SOCIALIST,

Watson (Populist, 124, 1881, and Core
gan Socialist Labor, $3.50.
