On Sunday night last, some mis-
creant forced the lock and entered
the Mutual Telephone Office, in the
absence Of Mr.. |. B. Bussard, who
has charge in the nighttime. Mrs
Bussard and her little babe were
alone in an adjoining room, and
she was terribly frightened.
Thinking the intruder was some
drunken fellow, she fastened her
door securely and kept quiet, but
the conduct of the man disproves the
theory that his head was mud
died. He cut off every phone con-
nection with the outside, and did it
with such accuracy as to indicate
that he was familiar with the Of
fee.
After striking some matches,
walking about the room and trv-
ing ell the doors, the man went
out and sat down on the sidewalk,
remaining some time. Mrs. Bus
sard got a view Of the fellow after
he left the room, but could see on
ly the form and no features. There
is no clue or suspicion, and such
crimes are so rare in our section OF
country that the people are com.

Escaped jail.

Henry Baker, the lad who, at the
April term of court pleaded guilty
to the charge Of arson and shoot
ing, and was sentenced to the re.
form school, escaped Jail Wednes
day night. His absence was de-
tected Thursday morning when
iailor Sipe went to serve breakfast
and found the door standing open.
He came from the Jail through
Sheriff's office and out at win
dow.
The shpposition is that Baker
had made a key, of hardwood or
metal, and thus opened the lock.
Before his Indictment, he was

He was not in cage, but was

In response to telephone mes.

a fellow answering Bakers de-

not certainly recognized.

Another Report.
FRosrBURG, Mp, September II, 1907

FRosrBuRG, Mp, September H. 1908.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
In regard to the shooting affairin town
Saturday night, September 18th, and
the effect reports have had on the minds
of people, [ would like to say that diff
fering statements have been made i'll
two daily papers of the county, and
neither correct.
1t is difficult to state, however, Just
how what happened did happen, as any
thing so unusual in Frostburg is, in
part at least, likely to escape ALL and no
two persons see the same acts or hear
the same sounds.
While it is not right to rob anyone of
any glory due him, it is certain that
some one did all that was required of
him on that occasion who was not men
toned i'll any report printed up to the
present time.
1t seemed to IA great many persons
wholly unnecessary to have the sheriff
and others come up from Cumberland
and take the prisoner away at midnight,
when he would have been just as safe
in Frostburg. The people of Frosthurg
are amply able to handle the affairs of
the town This is evident from the fact
that the man who created so much eX
element was caught and dlsarmrd at
the most dangerous moment of the
whole affair, and, not by an officer
either.
1t looked as if the man with the gun
should have been captured without the
last two or three shots that were fired.
AS to the shooting-few of all the peo-
pie present tell the same story. From
seven to ten shots are said to have been
fired, and it seems impossible to learn
exactly how many We're fired, but 1t Is
certain there are fewer marks than there
were bullets discharged. and it is be-
lieved several marks were made by the
same bullet. Three reports We're dis
tinctly heard i'll the Gladstone Hotel.
A man then came on the street and fired
two more shots, when he was struck by
bullet. Then he quickly turned and
fired at the officer who was i'll pursuit,
infiicting a slight flesh wound on the
officers back Two or three shots are
said to have been exchanged at this time
between the offices and the other man,
none known to have taken effect. About
this time the man called "Campbell'

ljlIray.

The editor hereof went to Luray, Va,
last Sunday-not to explore the great
caverns, but to look upon landscape and
mountain perspective peculiar to the
vale of his nativity.
The journey was made over the West
ern Maryland Railroad to Hagerstown
thence ria Norfolk and Western-51,
hours from Cumberland to Luray
1t was a delightfully."- bright day, the
tedium of travel further relieved by the
new Potomac scenery visible mainly
from the Maryland side of the river.
From Hagerstown the train ran yet
more rapidly, stopping at Luray in good
time for dinner.
At Hotel Laurance there was hos
pitable welcome, excellent service and a
fine menu.
With little time at command, the
JOURNAL hurried and found two friends
whom well it knew in early tendon
1t is vain to affirm that the gladness of an
hour was mutual, and that just as names
contemporaries and incidents of school
life began to occur there was visible re-

delightful.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENTS,
One Report.


FRosTBURG, Mp, September II, 1908
TO the MINING JOURNAL.
The report of the unfortunate shoot
ing that occurred in this law-a abiding
town last Saturday evening was very
badly stated i'll several respects i'll the
daily newspaper accounts.
While constable Bartolon probably did
the best he could the local correspond
ents ignored the fact that the town bail
if, Frank Spates, night policeman James
Powers and special night policeman
John Crawford We're on hand and took
part in the capture of Campbell and in
restoring order on the streets.
Not to mention these officers as being
active i'll the affair gave color to the re-
port that the town officers are not per-
forming their duty, while the communi-
ty knows that our officers have been adj
equately vigilant in performing their
duty.
Bailitf Spates arrested Brooks, who
was trying to escape from Campbell,
turned him over to policeman Crawford,
who took the prisoner to the lookup.
Then Spates ran to the aid of constable
Bartolon and arrested Campbell, whom
he turned over to Bartolon and his three
deputies, and Spates accompanied them
to the lookup w tn the prisoners. Pow
ers was detailed to look after the wound
ed man, Bruno, and he (Powers) also
went to the lock up to aid i'll event his
services might be needed
Why the town correspondents did not
mention the activity of the town officers
i'll this occurrence has been the topic of
much speculation.
Another thing seems very strange
Sheriff Hodel FASTENED up from Cum
berland at the call, it is said, of some
town official, to take Campbell to Jail to
avoid a lynching. No such official can
be found, however, who admits having
made such a request.
The officers of Frostburg have not
failed at any time to fill the positions
which they occupy, and why they should
not be mentioned as doing so the people
of town are at "a loss to know.
