Fatal Automobile Accident.

The first automobile accident which
resulted in a fatality to a resident O.
Shepherdstown occurred last Thurs
day afternoon about 3 o'clock. Or
Thursday J. G. fultz, assistant post
master in the local postoffice, engaged
Claggett Swain to take him and mem
bers of his family on an afternoons
drive for pleasure and sightseeing. lr
the party were Mr.. Fultz, his mother
Mrs. Addie R. Musser, her daughter
and granddaughter, Mrs. A. J. Shipley
and Mrs. Vernon Barner, and the lat
ter's little daughter, all of Altoona
Pa. They visited Antietam battlefield al
Sharpsburg, and then started to drive
TO Harper's Ferry through the noun
tains on the Maryland side of the river
All went well until they were going
down a rather steep grade in the
mountain about two miles from Har-
per's Ferry, when Mr.. Swain, who is
careful and experienced driver, found
that his car was out of control. The
brakes would not hold and he could
not check its growing momentum. II
was a choice of going over the noun
tain at a curve in the road or running
into the bank. Mr.. Swain took the lat
ter alternative and steered the ma
chine to the side of the road. Ii was
going at the rate of 20 miles an hour.
and when il plunged into the bank the
car rebounded and turned over. Those
who were not caught under the car
managed to release themselves and
called for assistance, which was soon
at hand. Mrs. Musser had gotten
bad blow on the forehead, but did not
seem to be seriously injured. Mr..
Swain had very bad cash across his
knee and was cut and bruised in many
places. The others in the party had
cuts and scratches and Commissions, but
neighbors ministered to them and they
were soon all right, except for the
shock of the accident.
Mr.. Swain went to Harper's Ferry in
buggy as quickly as possible, and sent
an automobile after those who were
in the mountain, and then he had his
wounds dressed. BY the time the
victims of the accident had reached
Harper's Ferry it was apparent that
Mrs. Musser was seriously injured.
While DR.. Ransom was ministering to
her she became unconscious, and on
his advice was taken to the hospital in
Charles Town. Little could be done
for her, however, and despite all ef-
forts she died at 1 o'clock the same
night. Her death was due to con-
cursion of the brain.
Mrs. Musser, who was II years of
age, was a native of Curtin, Pa, but
had lived in Shepherdstown for the
past twenty-four years. She was a
good woman, a member Of the Metho-
dist Church for many years, and though
of a quiet and retiring disposition, she
possessed the lovable qualities that en-
deared her to those who knew and ap-
preciated her unselfish life and her
devotion to those who depended upon
her Her death caused much sorrow
in the community. The funeral ser
vice was held Sunday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Fannie Show, the service
being conducted by Rev. William
Rogers, of the M. E. Church. The
body was laid to rest in the Reformed
Cemetery.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, an that is by a constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused
by an inlamed condition OF the mucous
lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inHamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when is is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and the tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inHamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru the blood on the mucous surfaces
Of the system. =.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrhal Medicine. Circulars free. All

We Win the Series From Marist Boys


The Shepherdstown baseball team
won the series of games for this season
with the Marist College team from
Washington when we took two games
from the visitors on Monday. For a
number of years we have had our an
nual contests with the Marist boys,
who are fine players and good sports,
but we were never able to beat them
until this year. In our first game this
summer we defeated them. Then they
gave us two drubbings in success
sion. Monday two concluding games
were scheduled here, and the fans and
rooters assembled in large numbers to
see the deciding contest. Bakerton
sent her usual number of enthusiastic
rooters for the Marist boys, while Shep-
herdStown had loyal band OF sup
porters. The first game was a walk
over for the home team, as we easily
defeated the visitors by the score OF
8 to 3, with our good old Brandy Myers
pitching. After taking a rest and
bracing up all around with supper, the
struggle was renewed at o'clock, with
Kirk Mckee pitching for the locals and
Anderson for the visitors. 1t was the
deciding game, each team having two
victories to its credit, and ali the fans
were on tiptoe. Fortune favored
Shepherdstown, and by getting hits
when they we're needed most we COM
fortably won by the score of to 4
Naturally there was great rejoicing
and our boys quickly grabbed up the
greenbacks that had been posted UP
for them in case of victory. We have
always appreciated the games with
Marist College When we were de-
feated we still enjoyed some really
fine sport, and now that we have given
them a summers thrashing-oh, boy!

THE DULUTH tlERALD s5}Rs8 .si5s
AND THE kUeLER CASE
Continued from first page)

BY blowing the top Of his head Off.
AS we recall, the gist Of this
story was published in the Duluth
Herald at the time of the inquest.
Upon a change Of Venue granted st
the recent term Of court, the Kugler
case is now to be tried in District
court in. Duluth; and it is regretable
that, under such circumst ances, our
worthy Duluth contemporary permits
its great influence thus to be used
in way that surely cannot be in
tended to aid in that impartial trial
which, was the defendants S. pre-
tended desire in asking for a change
OF venue. And we can see no spirit
OF fairness displayed by the Herald
in permitting the use of it's columns
to crlticise and condemn. public Of
ficials upon the unsupported state
ment. OF one accused of serious
crime, and without an effort to as
certain the plain facts in the matter.
In that article it was stated that
the American Loyalty League would
Investigate the matter, and charit
able people were appealed to to
come to the aid of the Kuglers, It
IS a disappointment to some that
the League has since abandoned The
notion Of Investigating; for the
things to be discovered might save
the Duluth charitable public from
imposition and would show the
League that the good reason WIN n no
liberty bonds were stolen from Kuq-
Ter was that, at that time , he had
none; that sort Of investment an
parently did not appeal to him; he
preferred to bury his surplus money
in the root house.

that we discuss this matter. But
