Auto Stuck In Mountain.
Pleasure Seekers Have Trying
Experience Near ThurmOnt.

Last Sunday afternoon an auto party
consisting of three ladies and two men.
ran their car, a big Buick, to a plac e
along Hunting creek west of Thurm ont
called Little Sandy Hole" a dip in the
creek not far above Sandy Hole proper.
As we hear it, it was the purpose OF
the party to eat supper and enjoy the
mountain scenery. But rain began fall
ing and increa sed in volume as night
drew on. The lunch was eaten. About
seven o'clock an attempt was made to
get away, the car having been driven in
to road to the right and leading to the
creek.
Rain had made the nice grassy spot
soft, and as the gas was turned on, the
wheels spun at terrific speed, but the car
moved not, and the wheels were soon
deep in mud.
Help had to be secured. Mr.. George
Bussard's resident was most convenient
and to him they went for help. Two
horses were harnessed, chains secured,
and in charge of Mr.. Howard Bussard
horses and men started for the stranded
auto. On the way another horse was Sc
cured from Postmaster Jos. c. Gernand.
The three horses were attached to the
car but could not pull it away.
A tractor was then thought of, and to
Eddie Creegers garage they went. Ed
die oiled up new one, and took it up
mountain, hooked to the car and pulled
it out of the bushes and mud on to solid
ground.
In the meantime the ladies had came
down town and offered SIP to any one
who would take them to Frederick, and
they soon were accommodated.
The work in the mountain came TO an
end after IL o'clock, midnight. Mr..
Creeger was given $25 for his pull and
getting the car out of the mud.
One of the party remarked that he
hoped to get to Harpers Ferry in time to
go to work Monday morning. Who they
were or where they were from was not

Bender was 8 member of the ball players trapshooting squad that toured the country in 1915 and on this trip he averaged 92 per cent. under the most adverse condi- tIonS.
 During the winter months Bender spends a great deal of his time shoot ing and participates in the matches of
 the Philadelphia Trapshooters' league as a member of the Pennsylvania Rail road A. A. team.
 The Indian pitcher, who appears to be pitching as well as ever. managed | the New Haven ball club this season and will lead the league in games won, and will put over at least 20 victories. Last year he won 9 games for Rich mond

 gins in New Haven. The other mem
