AUTO DESTROYED BY FIRE
Car Belonging to Guy limbaugh
Consumed Monday Evening

On Monday evening as Mr.. Guy
limbaugh, in company with his
brother Ellwood Hinebaugh were on
their way to Sang Run to bring the
latter's family to their home in Oak
land, the automobile in which they
were riding caught fire and was con-
sumed on the road at a point near
Kings Run, three miles north OF Oak
land.
The car, the property of Mr.. Guy
limbaugh, was a Dun ant, and the
cause of the fire was presumed to have
been a short circuit in the lighting
or firing system. When discovered the
under part of the car was a mass of
flames and being without adequate
equipment nothing could be done to
save it from destruction.

And An Automobile

Darrell Taylor, young man who
came to Oakland several months ago
from Terra Alta, West Va, and Sc
cured employment at Martins Garage
as truck driver, his duties including
the delivery of express goods to bust

mystery until last night when he APP
peared in Oakland. He was placed
under arrest and at a hearing ac-
corded him last night by Justice West

Christmas Green Hunters, At
tentiOn

Every ones thoughts are now turn
ing toward Christmas and the gather
ing of Christmas greens for decora-
tive purposes. How many people,
however, realize that in going into
somebody's woods or fields and help
ing themselves, they are taking some
thing that doesn't belong to them. The
owner of the property may want to
keep the trees for the beauty they
afford, or he may wish to use them
himself. They are not public proper
ty.
According to the Maryland Laws,
Chapter 179, Acts of 1918, it is a mis-
demeanor, punishable by a fine of
S25.OO or 90 days Imprisonment or
both, for anyone to remove, injure, or
destroy any tree or shrub from the
lands of another, without the written
consent or personal direction of the
owner.
All persons with power to arrest
have been notified to be on the lookout
for violators.
Posters calling attention to this
law will be furnished gratis to anyone
desiring them. Write to the State
Department of Forestry, S15 Calvert
Building, Baltimore, Maryland, and

volved his arms and hands.

cident, was engaged in hitching his
team to a farm implement and going

FIGHT AGAINST ZIHLMAN
HAS STIRRED INTEREST
Western Maryland Democrats
viii Produce Candidate
Next November

From all parts of the country come
reports of the activities of political
wiseacres in their efforts to line up
candidates in Congressional dis
tricts where there is the least bit Of
sentiment against those now holding
seats in the lower house of Congress.
This Congressional District, rppresen-
ted by Hon. Frederick n. Zihlman, is
no exception to the general rule, ac-
cording to a dispatch from Democrat
ic headquarters in Baltimore sent out
under date of the Sth inst, which
reads as follows:
although the Congress elected Is
months ago is just meeting in Wash
ington, speculation concerning proba-
bic candidates for the lower house
next November has already been
started N Maryland.
Much interest is being manifested
in the fight which will be made in the
Sixth District against Congressman
Frederick n. Zihlman both within his
own party and by the Democrats.
"Mr. Zihlman was unopposcd last
year in the PRIMARIES. Next year, it
is said, the anti-organization in West
ern Maryland will produce candidate
against him.
This years Democratic victory in
/ Western Maryland has buyocd the
hopes of that party's leaders to such
an extent that they believe a strong
candidate would have an excellent
chance of beating Mr.. Zih!man CT any
other Republican likely to maze the
/ race.
! "While Frank w. Mish, of Hagers-
town, a hardy perenniel Of the Con-
/ gressional fights in the Sixth District,
| has already announced he will again
be a candidate for the Democratic
nomination, many Of the Western
/ Maryland Democratic leaders are said
to be locking to William r. Offutt,
States Attorney Of Garrett county, as
! the strongest and logical candidate
/ for that party.
"Mr. Offutt has achieved the rare
distinction of having been twice elect
ed States Attorney in a county where
, Democrats are as scarce as the prov
erbial hens teeth SO excellent were
thought to be his chances of re-eIec-
ton last month that the Republican
leaders were hard put to produce a
candidate against him.
"Mr. Offutt is said to be unusually
popular among the younger Demo-
cratic leaders Of Western Maryland
who. headed by former Judge William
f. Walsh, are credited with having
been asnonsible for the unusually ex-
cellent showing made by Governor
Richie in that erd of the State.
According to reports, Mr.. Offutt
will be asked to be candidate for the
Democratic nomination when the time
for filing arrives With him. Demo-
cratic leaders, believe, Congressional
control in Western Maryland can be
wrested from the Republicans"

found presentments and indictments
in all cases. in which we believed the
evidence justified.
As instructed by the Court we have
looked over and examined the records
in the several county offices and are
pleased to find that they are neatly
and systematically kept. We feel that
the officers in charge of the several Of
fees in the court house building are
to be commended for the manner in
which they conduct their respective Of
fees and for their uniform courtesy
extended to the patrons thereof.
We are pleased to note the neat and
clean condition of the court house and
Jail and the manner in which the
grounds surrounding the buildings are
kept.
! We find the plumbing in the Jail in
bad condition and recommend that this
/ be given attention at once and all
needed repairs made.
( We also find that the coping on the
court house. the cement steps and the
sidewalks are badly in need of repair.
Some attention should also be given
to the concrete walks surrounding the
court house and Jail grounds.
! We have had before us the Mine In
/ spectOr for Garrett county and he has
reported that the condition of the
mines in Garrett county are good and
/ that the mining laws are being OBJ
| served.
/ We regret to learn that in several
of the districts of the county there are
no constables or magistrates and we
are informed that this is caused pri-
marty by the fact Of the insufficient
/ pay provided by law for these officers
and we feel that proper legislation
should be enacted providing sufficient
and proper. pay for constables and
magistrates and that each Of the dis
tricts Of the county should have at
least one magistrate and one con-
stable.
We were particularly impressed
with the neatness of the records in the
office of Z. Z. Tower, Clerk of the
Court, and commend him for the man.
ner in which he conducts his office and
for the accommodations to all who
have business with his Office
! We extend our thanks to Mr.. VIII
liam R. Otfutt, States Attorney, for
his constant and active assistance to
us during our session.
We have noticed in reviewing the
recent levy list for Garrett county the
! great amount of money appropriated
by the County Commissioners to pro-
vide for paupers and insane and upon
inquiry we ind that many Of these be
ing cared for as insane are only slight
Iy impaired in mind and could be
cared for Oh q poor farm. In view of
the great amount Of money being APP
propriated and expended for these
purposes and the same being on the
increase We believe that Garrett Coun-
ty is in need Of a poor farm and that
the same could be conducted econom-
ically and at a saving to the taxpay-
ers of Garrett county.
We find that the prisoners in the
county Jail are comfortably and prop
eTly fed and cared for.
We desire to extend to His Honor
Judge Doub our appreciation anC
thanks for his considerate and cour.
teous treatment.
We now beg to be discharged.

that the well can be saved and brought
