WEST PENN INTERESTS GET
MUNICIPALELECTRICPLANT
Plans To Take Over Towns In
terests on September First

At a meeting of the Mayor and
Town Council held on Tuesday ev-
ening formal ordinance was passed
whereby the ownership of the munich
pal electric light plant, which was
completed early this spring, passes
to The West Maryland Power Compa-
ny, the operating company of the
West Penn interests.
Mr.. William M. Bostwick. the pub
licity manager of the West Penn Rail
ways Company, with headquarters in
Pittsburgh, was here at the time
the transfer agreement was signed by
the Mayor and Council and his COM
pany, and stated that by reason of
the acquisition of the municipal unit
Oakland is assured Of a dependable
supply of electric power from the in
ter-connecting generating stations of
the large West Penn electrical sys-
tenn which covers much of Western
Pennsylvania and a large portion of
the Panhandle of West Virginia.
Mr.. Bostwick also stated that it is
planned by his company to have their
high tension wires extended to Oak
land from a point in West Virginia
prior to the cold weather of the COM
ing winter.
The West Maryland PowerCompany
has an almost ineXhaustible supply of
reserve power and it will supply Oak
land with a voltage exceeding $4,000
over its high-tension transmission line
from Kingwood, to which point the
line is now almost completed. Lines
will also radiate to Gormania and east
to Piedmont and south to Elkins, West
Va. The company also expects to
supply power to all of the coal mines
in the Upper Potomac and Garrett
county coal fields.
Oakland is now on the eve of an era
Of expansion and industrial growth.
At present there is one mill here
which is only awaiting electric power
to begin operations, while others will
be enabled to locate here, due to the
advantages Of adequate electric SER
vice.
By the terms of the agreement en-
tered into between the West Mary
land company's representatives and
the town authorities, the plant will
revert to the new company on Sep
TENDER 1st.

HITS DEPUTY WITH GUN,
JUMPS IN CAR, ESCAPES
DIR. Long, Known in Oakland,
Covers Crowd With Automatic

W. H. Long, remembered by Oak
land people and many residents of
other sections of Garrett county as
& peGd,er of spectacles, having made
his Headquarters at the Merrill farm,
located north Of Oakland, during the
Winscr Of 1920 and the summer and
fall of 1921, when he disappeared
from public view, the presumption be-
ing that he had gone west in an auto
mobile purchased during his stay
here, turned up at Emmittsburg, Md,
about two months ago, but that town
knows him no more. His departure
from that point was unlike his disap-
pearance from Oakland, however, for
there he went out in true western
style and with some extra trimmings,
according to a dispatch dated at En-
mitsburg dated Sunday and reading
as follows:
"W. H. Long, who has been living
here for the past two months, yester-
day pulled gun on Deputy Sheriff
Albert Adeksberger when the officer
placed an attachment on his automo-
bile. Long made a quick getaway
that left the officer and a few by
ISLANDERS dumbfounded with the cool
manner in which he escaped.
'Dr. Long, as he styled himself,
came to Emmitsburg in June for the
purpose Of selling spectacles to the
country people. He rode around in
a car with an Ohio license and was a
sort of a mystery to the people of
this section. Adeksberger received
a writ of attachment for bill from d
Cleveland COhio) firm. He served
the writ and was about to adjust
the switch on the car when Long hit
him a stunning blow on the head
When Adeksberger recovered he
found an automatic staring him in
the eyes. Long gave orders for all
to get out of his way, which they did
Immediately, running in every direc-
ton, when Long jumped into his car
and left.
"While in Emmitsburg Long made
his home in the car, which he kept
at a local garage. Very little is
known concerning him with the ex-
ception that he once stated that he
had lived at Greencastle, Pa. Police
at Frederick were notified by Adeks-
berger. If Long is apprehended,
there are several creditors in En-
mitsburg who would like to know his
whereabouts, provided he is without
his automatic"

r0AKLAND RESIDENTS WERE
BADLY HURT In WRECK
Of Automobile on Baltimore
Pike Near Frederick Saturday

Returning from motor trip to Bal
timore, Washington and Mount Yer
non, Va, last Saturday morning, the
car driven by DR.. Bayard T. Keller,
of Cayhoga Falls, Ohio, who had as
his guests Mrs. Mary Gender and Mr..
Truman w. Casteel, of Oakland, and
a granddaughter, Miss Burroughs, of
Ohio, was wrecked at a point few
miles out of Frederick, caused by the
collapse of wheel after skidding on
the wet road, and turned over, all the
occupants of the car with the excep.
ton of Miss Burroughs being very
seriously hurt by the car turning over
and catching the members of the par
ty beneath it.
The accident occurred on a sharp
curve on the road, just beyond which
i collision between two other cars
had taken place just a moment be-
fore the arrival of the Keller car and
to avoid another wreck DIR. Keller,
who was driving, applied the brakes.
As soon as possible following the
accident the injured members of the
party were taken into Frederick and
placed in hospital and their friends
and relatives in Oakland notified.
An examination revealed the fact
that Mr.. Casteel had sustained an in
ternal injury caused by the entrance
into his lung of broken rib and other
less serious but very painful hurts.
Mrs. Gonder's injuries were also very
serious and may yet prove fatal, the
nature of which being yet undeter-
mined. Both are quite up in years
and their recovery will be slow.
DR.. Keller sustained badly bruised
and lacerated arm which has incapaci-
tated him. While other members of
the party are still in the Frederick
hospital DIR. Keller arrived here yes
terday with his granddaughter.
Members of the families of both
Mr.. Casteel and Mrs. Gender went to
Frederick Immediately upon receipt
Of the news of the accident, all having
returned to their respective homes
with the exception of Mrs. Casteel,
who remains at the bedside of Mr..
Casteel at the hospital.

full Injuries Saturday Evening.


Mrs. G. w. L. Lohm, residing on
Alder street, fell from the porch of
her residence last Saturday evening

ed about her body and limbs, she also
sustained fractured arm just above
her wrist.
At the time Of the occurrence Mrs.
Lohm was alone, the members of the
family having left the house earlier

notified some neighbors who assisted
in getting her into the house and
making her as comfortable as posi-

Maryland has been stocked with
large supply of pheasants in the hope
of increasing the rapidly dwindling
supply. Time was when pheasant
hunting in this State brought MINI
rods from all sections of the country.
but in recent years the supply has
decreased to an alarming point. For
some reason or other the birds ship
ped here to propagate are not meet
ing with success, which has caused
the Chesterown Transcript to print
the following relative thereto: From
all parts of the county we hear of
farmers finding pheasant hens sitting
upon eggs longer than the time nee
essary for them to hatch, showing
very clearly that the birds are not
propagating successfully in this Sec
ton" In Garrett county, the natu-
raj habitat of this species of game
birds, conditions are altogether diff
ferent from thos existing in the lower
levels. Here the birds are increasing
in numbers and are properly propa-
eating, according to reports from the
game wardens.
