REV. WILLIAM ]. BARNARD
DEAD BY His own HAND
Committed Suicide By Cutting
His Throat With Razor At
His Home Yesterday

Rev. William J. Barnard. aged
50 years, committed suicide in
the cellar of his home at Chest
nut Grove, near Bloomington,
this county, about six o'clock
yesterday morning.
Mr.. Barnard was one of the best
known and highest esteemed residents
of Garrett county and the announce
ment of his death and its mode came
as a distinct shock to his friends and
members of his family.
From what can be learned from
an authoritative source, Mr.. Barnard
for several days prior to his tragic
death had been acting in a peculiar
manner, so much so that the mem
bers of his family suspected that he
would make an attempt upon his life
and to forestal anything like this oc-
curing he was constantly accompa-
MED by some one of the household.
Yesterday morning, however, while
Mrs. Barnard was engaged in dairy
work, Mr.. Barnard secured his razor
and going to the cellar he slashed his
throat from ear to ear and when dis
covered a few minutes later he was
breathing his last.
Mr.. Barnard was minister of the
Methodist Episcopal church South and
for fifteen years had occupied the pull
pit of the Chestnut Grove church of
that denomination.
He is survived by his wife and also
by five children, all Of whom are
grown, namely: William H., who is at
present a patient in a Cumberland
hospital recovering from an attack
of typhoid fever; Edgar, of Walnut
Bottom; Harry, of Luke; cleric, of
Cumberland, and Mrs. Helen Moon, of
kitzmiller, Nd. He is also survived
by two sisters, Mrs. Goldie Warwick,
of kitzmiller, and Mrs. Amanda Stot-
tlemeyer, Of Mountain Lake Park.

A Letter from the Secretary Of
the Oakland Chamber of COM

To the Edito! Of The Republican.
The people of the surrounding ter
ritory should have information re-
garding the attractions Of Oakland,
Maryland.
This is an era Of scientific and eco
nomic business expansion. Wise men
Of our country are solving certain ser
ious problems by supplying their
needs from the resources of small
cities and towns favored a lot out of
the ordinary with an abundance of
natural facilities. Oakland certainly
enjoys this position and various in
dustries are at present securing sites
for the location of their buildings.
1t is also happy thought of the
writer that after seemingly long de-
lays, those who control the surplus
funds of the community are cooper
atlng and inviting new propositions
as opportunity knocks, which is self
evident that they are recognizing
championship material among the
younger element, the latter positively
the solution to most satisfactory la
Dor condition, hence their adherence
to the truth of the matter that Oak
land is without superiority, consider
ing every spot of the United States,
to live in.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
APPEALS TO LAND OWNERS
To Grant Rights-Of-Way to Con-
structi0n Company for Rail
road Tracks

Mr. Charles 7. Riley, secretary Of
the Oakland Chamber of Commerce
having the future welfare of the en-
| tire county as a stimulus for his ac-
lions, has written the following COM
munication for publication in The Re
publican with reference to the oper-
ations Of the Youghiogheny Power
Company and its subsidiary compan-
les, which is about to begin construc-
ton work on the hydro-electric dams
west and north of Oakland on Deep
Greek and the Youghiogheny River.
Mr.. Riley's communication to The
Republican is as follows, which we
trust may have the effect desired:
To the Editor Of The Republican.
The people Of Garrett county have
been patiently waiting for some great
construction corporation to utilize our
natural resources, and now that this
opportunity is offered US let us agree
on one very important matter. That
is: to cooperate from start to finish
and there certainly is not a doubt
about each and every landowner and
every laboring man deriving a great
benefit from the activities of this or
ganization.
The construction company will re-
quire leases over a right-of-way for
its construction track, which is to be
of standard gauge, well graded and
only about three per cent maximum.
It is the desire of the Chamber of
Commerce that all parties who may
be concerned that the route of the
construction track being most vaiu-
able and most preferable to follow the
Bradley Run survey, will show their
enthusiasm and appreciation by ac-
cepting the proposition offered them
to lease for five years or more a right
of-Way through their proper ty or
properties for which the writer viii
very gladly assume responsibility for
the statement that every foot of their
holdings, regardless Of how great OF
how small it may be, that that partic-
Ular locality will most assuredly en-
hance in value and just as important,
you will make lot of new friends by
your act Of cooperation.
Charles B. Hawley & Company, Inc,
engineering department for the Gen
eral Construction Corporation and the
Eastern Land Corporation, is the or
ganization which is to engineer the
construction of dams and water power
to be utilized for electric current
power service.
Now in connection with the above
matter, we would advise the grant
ing of leases without hesitancy and
at a minimum value for the use of
that portion of the land to be utilized
for the purpose. By doing this delay
in the whole project will be avoided
as well as any court proceedings
which of necessity would have to be
ences that may arise between the in
terested parties. But we are going to
believe differently about theentire sit
uation and appeal to the good judg
ment of the citizens concerned. We
feel that they will lend hand and
aid in any manner possible when the
opportunity is presented.
Respectfully yours,
OAKLAND CHAMBER OF COM
CEMERCE.

A BREATHLEss MOMENT?
HE'LL SAY so?

Towards the end of the adoption
of Charles E. Van Loans Scrap Iron
produced by Charles Ray in his own
studio, the First National attraction
which will be shown at the Princess
Theatre, one night, March 18th, 1928,
one of the actors, Claude Berkely,
breaks into room occupied by Chas.
Ray, breathlessIy telling him that
something mas happened 1t was alb
solutely necessary that this scene
be very carefully done, and faithfully
depicted. They tried to get it three or
four times, but did not secure the
necessary note of genuineness; SO
Mr.. Ray made young Berkely run
around the block which surrounds the
studio, and told him IL he was not
out of breath by the time he arrived
at the door, that he would have to do
It again. AS a matter Of fact, he was
so out of breath that he could not
even say what he was supposed TO
say and merely gasped the sentences
as he leaned against the door, and the
;cene was complete success.

Another R. R. To
Be Built
Burlington viii Spend $2,50o,o0 on
Road Into Montana Fields

st. Paul, March Montana is
promised a second railway into the
Rosebud coal fields through the an
nouncement Friday that the Chicago
Burlington & Quincy will start con
struction of a $2,500,000 road in the
spring.
Right-of-way for the road is being
negotiated for from Sheridan, Wyo.,
northeast into the Rosebud district,
it was stated in railway circles here.
The route of the new 60-mile branch
would be from the main line at Bill
ings through the southeast corner OF
South Dakota, then through Nebraska
and into the network of major Bur-
lington lines leading into Chicago,
Kansas City, ST. Louis and Omaha.
Preparations for building similar
line south from it's main road near
Forsyth into the Rosebud fields are
being made by the Northern Pacific
railway Deposits of semi-bitumlnous
coal are contained in the Rosebud
territory and the tapping Of the field
is Of tremendous Importance, mas
much as it will assure adequate fuel
supply for the railroads. Transporta-
tion experts assert that electrification
will be major development on north
west roads within a few years and
the field then will be of great value
to the Burlington and Northern Pa
cific roads, as it would provide easy
access to the availability of fuel for
a steam electric generating plant.
Wy off Ic
would not admit any connection by
the form to the new Montana-Wyo-
ming railway project.
Competition exists between the
Mid West company and the Middle
States Oil company, it was confessed
but that was held not to be a factor
or to be connected in any way with
the railroad department. l.. A. Potter,
secreary of the Midwest company
of Minnesota, said, in fact, that as
far as he knew the Midwest Refining
company of Wyoming, with headquar-
ters at Casper, which controls the
Hall Creek oil section, was not plan
ming any development, Until general
business conditions improve, [ thfff9z'
1t simply matter of time until things
come about in the natural course. we
have no finance plans"
Asked If there was any connection
with the Burlington announcement
and the oil developments, he said
there was not. His firm has transpor-
tation facilities in the Salt Creek dis
trict, he said, and there has been no
intention of constructing railroad.
Middle States officials could not be
.eached in regard to the question and
Burlington officials denied the pro-
ject was connected with the oil con-
treversF.
