A FISHING EXCURSION
Three Young Men have an Excellent
Time In the Wilds of w. Va.

On the afternoon of July End, join
ed George Wilson andiSimon Ccsner,
fellow disciples of Walton, at Wildell,
W. Va, for fishing trip in Shaver's
Fork of Cheat River. After slowing
our supplies, each fellow adjusted his
pack of forty pounds and hit the trail.
The climb up the mountain forming the
waterhead between the Greenbrier and
Cheat was no easy task but that trip
down the mountain to the Cheat river
haunts me like nightmare. All the
Cheat river country seems to be cover
ed with almost impossible thatch of
laurel and the fellow who laid out our
trail seemed to have found the toughest
possible course. 1t was one continual
climb down ever fallen trees boulders
and laurel bushes and all of this through
pouring rain.
We then went up the river for what
the fellows called a mile In behalf of
the peace of their souls, | hope it was
true, but it was the longest drawn out
| have ever travelled 1t was crawling
over boulders and wading all the way.
fell behind and short distance from
camp | felt that could 90 no farther.
George soon came back and offered to
carry my pack but | explained that
was not at all tired but just enjoying
the scenery. q l reached camp later
with my pack intact
At our first stopping place we found
an old camp in good condition, with
roaring fire and good supper comfor-
fOrtably tucked under our belts we
spent the night in refreshing, dreamless
sleep. One of my companions while tax
ing an early morning fish, hooked a
twelve inch trout but lost him and later
fell into the drink but got out safely.
The other in jumping on sloping rock
sat down so hard that he had an i'm
press of the stone on his trousers fer
several days.
Next day Burton Wilson joined US
and we decided to move up the river
! about eight miles to another camp near
where some small creeks joined the
river. Most of the way the scenery
was magnificent. Great high mountains
came down almost to the waters edge
for the valley here is very narrow. The
white azalea grows in dense clusters
along the banks. They were in full
bloom and the air was heavily laden
with the rich fragrance of their snowy
blossoms. On both sides of the country
is covered with dense growth of black
spruce and laurel and the only way to
get out of the valley is to go byway of
some small stream flowing down from
the mountains. Practically all the way
the river is one continuous rapid with
numerous deep pools interspersed.
We saw large golden eagle along the
river and numerous signs of deer and
bear on the mountain side. For thirty
miles along the river not tree has been
cut. Truly it is forest primeval.

TRAMPING IN GARRETT COUNTY
Delightful Excursion Led BY Rev. and
Hrs. A. H. Thompson of Frostburs.

Rev. and Mrs. A. H. Thompson, con-
Quoted party of young people on a
delightful tramping excursion through
part of Garrett county, last week.
The party left Frostburg at seven
O'Clock on Tuesday morning, going over
the old National road to the Stone House
eleven miles west of Frostburg, where
they made the first stop and ate lunch.
From there they went to the home of
Mr.. Miller, leaving the pike on their
right and travelling about seven miles
reaching Mr.. Miller's home about sun
down. After supper they spent several
hours in roaming over the farm and en-
joying the pleasures of natural surround
ings. The party divided, part of them
staying at Mr.. Miller's and part going
about half a mile further to another
for the night. After a good nights
rest and an early breakfast Mr.. Miller
took the party on a hay ride to visit the
great lumber camp at Jennings. Sever
al hours spent there, a lunch in the
woods and starting back, the party was
caught in heavy thunder storm. On
arrival at Miller's again some of the
party were obliged to go to bed while
their clothing was drying.
On Tuesday morning Mr.. Miller
hitched four horses to large wagon
and brought the party out to the pike
at Shades Mills, where they took din
ner and rested until three o clock, when
they started for Mr.. Hugh McMahon's
home, about five miles west of Frost
burg, where they remained all night
Thursday night. After an excellent
breakfast and rest of several hours,
at ten O'Clock Friday morning they
started for home arriving at the M. E.
parsonage at twelve O'Clock. Several
had cameras with them and number of
pictures of scenes along the way and of
the party in picturesque groups and
amid beautiful surroundings, were TAX
en-.
"A more enjoyable outing was never
had" is the general opinion of the
members Of the party.

4 Horrible Murder
Near Bloomington
Discovery of the Mutlaed Remains of Victim Disclosed
Crime Which Was Committed Sometime During or
After july 4h-I Investigation Being Made by State
Officials and Arrests May Follow

One of the foulest murders ever COM
mitted in Garrett county was brought
to light Sunday at noon with the find
ing of the, body of Joe S. Harris, an
aged and highly respected resident of
Bloomington. Harris had been missed
since the Fourth of July, and just when
people had begun to wonder what could
have become of him his body was found
one-fourth of mile from Bloomington
lying upon its face within sight of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad bridge
which spans the Potomac river at that
point. The body was discovered by Lo-
renzo Buckhannon, a young man who
was chasing rabbits The body was in
bad state Of decomposition and was
covered over with brush and leaves.
Young Buckhannon Immediately made
known his discovery and within half an
hour big crowd of people had gathered
at the spot. A coroner's jury was i'm
mediately impanneled and the ground
surrounding where the body was found
was given a careful examination.
1t was about five o'clock when the
jury completed its investigation. Near
the body was found two or three large
stones; an iron bolt with a tap on one
end; roll Of money containing eighty
dollars; copy of the Union City Eagle,
printed at Union City, Indiana, under
date Of January 9th, '07; a pay check
coupon issued in 1903 by the West Vir-
GINA Pulp and Paper Company at Pied
mont; numbered cigarette butts, some
empty whiskey bottles and other things
that would indicate that a camp had
been maintained there over night. The
pay check is considered the best evil
dence offered, as the number thereon
will correspond with the check and the
name to whom it was issued.
The body of the old man, while badly
decomposed, was easily recognized. 1t
was dressed in a suit of clothing given
him some time since by DR.. H. NJ.
Kemp. The skull of the old man was
badly mashed, large portion being

the Teachers on tuesday.
14FlRSTS. 1877 SECONDS. is FAIL
Marks Above the Average-1onor
for Firsts were Divided Between
Students of the Oakland and
Friendsville Normals.

The certificates awarded by the Coun-
ty School Board to the teachers were
mailed Tuesday. These are for the ex-
animation which was held at Accident
and Oakland on June Goth and 21st.
There were fourteen first-grade GER
tifcates issued and one hundred and
thirty-seven second-grade. There were
but sixteen failures. The work done
this year by the teachers in the exami-
nation was far above the average and
goes to prove that there is being made
gradual improvement in the teaching
corps of the county.
The honors for the two Normals of
the county were evenly divided. The
best first-grade certificate was won
by student of the Friendsville school,
Miss Mattae Riley. The certificate of

WATER CAME DOWN
BY BUCKETSFULL
Many People Think a Cloud Burst
Near Oakland Wednesday Morning.
THE RUN OVERLOOKED ITS BANKS
The Culvert Beneath the Railroad
Track too Small Caused the Water
to Back Up and Enter Several
Business Houses.

The citizens of Oakland were awak-
ened yesterday morning early by a
very heavy rain. Some people think
that there must have been cloud burst,
so heavy was the fall of water. The
run that flows through Oakland rapidly
rose and soon overlooked its banks,
flooding the street between the Garrett
National Bank and the Opera House.
The culvert beneath the railroad that
usually carries the water of the run,
soon became too small for the on-rush-
ing torrents, with the result that water
backed up so high that it entered
Lauer's Bakery, Dixon's Meat Market,
Bolden's furniture store, the Opera
House and the Garrett National Bank.
A stream six or eight inches deep flow
ed through Bolden's Furniture store for
over an hour, causing considerable loss.
Mr.. Bolden managed to get many of
the articles up out of the water although
many became soaked.
1t seems that the rain was general
throughout this section, for trains, ow-
ing to washouts and slides, were unable
to be on time during the whole day.
Many of the rural route mail carriers
had to return, owing to the fact that
they were unable to make their way
along the flooded roads and over the
swimming bridges, many of which have
been carried away and others damaged.

row piece of level ground by the side
of an ice cold spring and there we stay
ed the remaining days of our trip. For
solid comfort, that camp cannot be ex-
celled. With thick layer Of '.jackass
feathers (spruce boughs) under you,
a roaring fire in front and the murmer-
ing of the river nearby, who is there
that could not rest in peace? The fish
ing was fairly good; what we lacked in
number we made up in size George
Wilson, a benedick of a few months
standing, caught the largest-a speckl-
ed beauty fourteen inches in length and
with commendable thoughtfulness took
it home to his wife.
The end of our outing came only too
soon. When we reached civilization
again the hardships we had endured
paled into insignifcance and left only
the memory of a most fascinating ex-
perience.
