WILLIAM HARVEY SHOT
COULTER in SELF DEFENSE
Was The Verdict of COroner's
Jury Tuesday Afternoon

That William Harvey, farmer
and saw mill operator, residing
near Kitzmiller, this county,
shot and killed Lee Coulter, min
er's union head of VindeX, Gar
rett county, in self defense on
Monday evening of this week,
was the unanimous verdict of a
coroner's jury summoned by the
States officers to investigate
thematter which was conducted
by States Attorney w. R. Of
futt, assisted by Attorney E. R.
Jones, and in accordance with
the finding of the jury Harvey
was Immediately released from
the custody of Sheriff Ashby, he
having surrendered to the State
officer Monday night a few hours
after the shooting had taken
place.
According to statements made
in the case, Coulter accosted a
miner going to work at Vindex
Monday morning and chased
him back to his home. Harvey
later met Coulter near his home
and advised him not to interfere
with the miners and when Coul-
ter took exceptions to the adj
vice an argument arose and the
two men came to blows. They
were parted, but Coulter was
heard to say he would get Har-
vey." The latter was warned
OF the threats made against
him by his son and another man
who went to Harvey's house and
told him that Coulter was on the
way there armed and his inten-
ton was to kill him.
Being thus made acquainted
with Coulter's intentions Har-
vey remained at his home and
when Coulter appeared he op-
ened fire with an automatic re-
yolver, firing twice at Harvey
before the latter returned his
.G.'e. The latter the shot. The
first and only shot at Coulter
felled him, but Coulter contin-
ed firing from his recumbent DO
sition until he had emptied the
firearm, and died in a very few
minutes thereafter.

WHAT HAS THE OAKLAND
LIBRARY DONE FOR YOU?
Can You Help 1t Do More For
The Town and Community?
There is no frigate like a book
To take us leagues away;
Nor any courses like a printed page

There is no frigate like a book
70 take us leagues away;
Nor any courses like a printed page
Of prancing poetry"
Emily Dickinson.
Would you voyage to PARKWAY
lands, or forget yourself and your
WEAKNESS, take a good book and lose
yourself in its pages.
Cur library in Oakland offers many
books Of wide variety OF interests.
The late fiction on the shelves has
been carefully selected with q view
to pleasing.
Oakland people DO not always re-
alize that they may feel justly proud
in having the only free public library
in Western Maryland.
The library is about to enter upon
4 new phase Of its existence. It is
going to move. The new home of the
library will be in the large and pleas
ant front room Of the Knights Of Ply
thias building.
A successful library is growing
concern, and the new home gives OPP
portunity for greater expansion and
at the same time a lessening of ex-
pense. The Knights have very gener-
ously reduced the usual rental from
S120 to 500, thus making a sub
stantial donation to the library.
The monthly expense of maintain
ing the library is about S25. This is
exclusive of the purchase Of hooks.
The annual membership fees are
not sufficient to meet these expenses
and the library board must resort to
other means of raising money.
On May oath the library will give
fair and supper, not cafeteria style,
but regular old-fast.oned sit-down
affair, where pretty girls bring you
all the good things you can eat for the
price of a supper ticket.
The supper will be in the K. Of P.
Hall and after the supper you can go
into the library and become acquain-
ted with it and its new surroundings.
The number Of books on the shelly
es is 2200, and the average monthly
circulation IS $50.
Everyone should take an interest
in this, for a good library is one of
the marks of an up-to-date town, ard
it is a powerful influence in theIlives
of our boys and girls.
They read whatever they can lay
their hands or; let us support our
library so generously that our young
people will frequent it, because Of
the compelling interest of its books.

The chain of habit coils itself
around the heart like a serpent to

Thought is a habit.
Heredity. is a habit transmitted to

There are two kinds Of habits
good and bad.
Form good habits.
Good habits ma ybe formed by
practicing good things; bad habits
are formed by refusing to practice
good.
A mans life work is MASTER

habits.
Every repetition of an act makes it
easier to perform it again.
Watch Nour deeds; beware of little

Wages Play Big Part.

wages RAY Big Fart.
This last conclusion" said the re-
port, points strongly to two condi-
tions, which evidently have a tre-
mendous influence upon the migrants,
namely. wages and types of employ
ment available in northern states,
and geographical location of the
points considered by oncoming mi
grants.
mo doubt, direct touch with trunk
lines from southern points and the
amount of railroad fare required
have their effect upon those workers,
who desire to move northward; and,
on the other hand. distinctive types
Of work with attractive wages form
another inducement.
1T may be of worth to state that
the reports indicated that migrants
frequently come to border states and
after working awhile use a portion of
their earnings to remove to points of
vantage farther north. This particu-
lar feature is, perhaps, largely pro-
ductive of causes Of turnover, which
was not strongly noticeable In the
states farther north"
