0AKLAND'S NEW THEATRE
WILL BE OPENED TONIGHT
BY A Grand Ball for Which Invitations
Have Been Issued by Proprietor NaIIY

Nally's Empire Theatre, Oakland S
new playhouse, will be opened tonight
by grand ball, invitations for which
were issued several days ago by Mr.. S.
A. Nally proprietor of the theatre. The
music for the ball will be furnished by
the Oakland orchestra, which has been
practlcing new pieces nightly for some
time and which is composed of Miss
Bessie limbaugh and Messrs. Calvin
Echard, Dennis Rasche, Charles Liller
and Roy limbaugh.
The new theatre is located opposite
the First National Bank building on
Alder Street and the structure is as near
tireproof as it is possible to make it,
The auditorium is located on the ground
floor with an entrance straight from the
street through a wide hallway. Exits
have been provided which can be used
in case of emergency and the building
thus emptied within very few min
utes. A gallery with a seating capacity
Of half a hundred is over the entrance
and is reached from a stairway leading
from the hallway.
The capacity of the auditorium is sew
eraI hundred and the seating consists of
the latest improved opera chairs.
The walls of the auditorium have been
neatly decorated by Mr. Parks, an ar
list of merit, who also painted all the
stage scenery, drop curtain, etc The
work has been very fayorably common
ted upon by all who haye seen it.
The stage is of sufficient size to admit
the presentation Of plays with large
number of characters. The initial play
will be given shortly bv home talent for
the benefit of the Mountain City Band.
In the meantime, however, Mr.. Nally
win have the theatre open nightly be-
ginning tomorrow evening as nickleo-
deon.

SOMEONE HUNTING TROUBLE
distractions Being Placed in the
State Road as Trap for Automobiles.

Some individual or body of individuals
are hunting all kinds Of trouble and we
predict the assertion that they will find
it and when they do, it will not be at all
to their liking, unless they prefer a
term of Imprisonment to their happy
homes.
For some time past distractions in
the form Of immense boulders, broken
bottles and heavy pieces of timber have
been placed almost daily at certain
points on the State Road leading north
from Oakland, evidently for the pur-
pose of wrecking automobiles or other
vehicles.
A few nights ago one of the automo-
bilists going from Oakland down the
road was fortunate enough to see sey-
eral hundred feet ahead of his machine
two large rocks which had been placed
in the centre of the track and he stop
ed his machine barely in time to save a
wreck. To remove the obstruction re-
CURED his entire strength, which seems
to be evidence that more than one man
was responsible for it being there.
The law with reference to obstructIng
the public highways is very plain and
the penalty prescribed is stringent,
making it both a penal otfense as well
as fine. e
With these distractions placed in the
road at any one Of the numerous sharp
curves along it, where the sight of the
driver is obscured by underground or
fences, the chances ale that not only
his machine would be wrecked but that
serio if not fatal consequences would
befall the occupants, Drastic measures
should and no doubt will be taken to put
a stop to the unlawful practice

No RENO trip FOR
JOHN Or HIS AFFINITY
Oakland Tailor is Caught and Faces
Two Charges-Thett and 0esertiOn.

1t will be some time before John
Bergman can sing I'm on my way to
Reno. " but instead John is IN the Oak
land Jail accused of the theft of lot Of
clothing and an additional charge of
wife desertion. To begin with, there is
woman in the case.
Bergman kept a tailor shop in this
place and as a side line was cleaner and
repairer of clothing. and although mar
ried and the father of a child, at odd
times he paid court to a woman domes-
tic at the Jail, whose husband is con-
Wet in the Maryland penitentiary.
While serving a sentence in Jail for
assaulting his wife, Bergman met the
fascinating Jail cook, and they planned
to elope.
Among the clothes that he had re-
ceived in his place was coat belonging
to Mrs. Arthur Lawton, of Oakland.
This John packed away in a trunk along
with his own clothes and, taking about
$500 dollars worth of his customers
clothes, sent the trunk to Grafton and
followed there on Saturday morning.
The woman who, since the imprisonment
OF her husband, worked at the Oakland
jail. was to follow down on train No. Z
that morning.
Bergman went to Grafton on an &C
commodation train on Friday night and
there he purchased a ticket to Reno,
Nevada He then went to Fairmont
and intended 20 Join the woman on train
No. Z.
Getting a tip of his flight, Oakland
officials got busy and John Sweeney was
put on the case by Sheriff Shartzer.
Sweeney found the trunk at Grafton
and he then began a search for John.
Word was sent to Fairmont and Chief
Watkins and the entire night force went
to work on the case.
Al the Fairmont station Watkins dis
covered tive men who answered the des-
'rtiontaf Raranasn- $. fIlgnish@4 -hu
Sweeney. The Sheriff and Sweeney
arrived on train No. Z and met Watkins,
who had his officers preventing either of
the suspects to board the train. The
Sheriff looked them over and Bergman
was placed in jail. When he was search
ed 1920 in money and ticket to Reno
were found in his pockets. He remain
ed locked up over night and returned to
Oakland on Saturday in company with
Sheriff Shartzer, Bergman agreeing tc
come without rcquisition papers.
1t is claimed that the would-bc geta-
way had been well planned.

iMPR0WSED WATER TANKS
Made of Steel GondoIas Used to Con-
vey Water From Oakland West.

The Baltimore and Ohio is still hard
put to furnish water for its motive
fower west of Oakland, and indeed it
.can be said, all along the line Of the
RAILROAD.
1 To meet the emergency every oil tank
ecar that can be found is being used by
the railway company in which to convey
water over its different lines and these
have become exhausted, as the drouth
extends from the Mississippi River east
and north, necessiatating the hauling
of water from every available point
where it can be secured.
u Oakland is the base of supply for
this section Of the country, the water
being pumped from the Little Yough
into tanks and drawn from thence to
points west including Terra Alta,

DESP0TISMOF THE GARRETT I.
COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD
A Way PraCtiCed by that Body to Rid
the County Of Its Best Teachers

County Superintendent Browning act
ing, it is presumed, under orders from
his superiors, or probably upon his own
iniative, sliced the sum of S25 from the
monthly salary of Mr.. Bert Browning,
principal of the Accident school, and in
like menner reduced the salary of Miss
Thayer, vice principal of the Oakland
High School, S. for the month.
What motive prompted the act unless
it was to make places for favontes OF
the school superintendent, the public is
left to judge. Miss Thayer, a lady of
fine sensibilities and refinement, who by
close application has fitted herself to
teach in all branches of education, ten
dered her resignation very promptly
and Mr.. Browning intended following a
like course until a body Of Accident S in
dignant citizens waited upon the resi-
dent members of the school board and
issued an ultimatum with the result that
Mr. Browning's salary was fixed at S65
per month, whereas his predecessor re-
ceived SIS, and probably rendered no

coupled with the illness Of Prof. Pal

A DISASTROUS WRECK LAST NIGHT
Trains Held un For Nearly Twelve
Hours Before Traffic was Resumed.

Last night shortly before eight o. clock
freight wreck of magnitude occurred
on the Seventeen-mile Grade below
Swanton, blocking both tracks and inn
peding traffic of both passenger and
freight business for upwards of twelve
hours.
The wreck was caused by an east
bound freight train colliding with two
helping engines, which in turn ran into
the rear of another freight train, thus
piling up three engines of the large
class, a caboose and several cars. The
engines were turned crosswise of the
tracks, the latter being badly torn up.
Two of the engine crew were slightly
injured as a result of the wreck.
