SENDS
ROCK FLYING
EXPLOSION SHAKES BUILD
INGS-FLYING ROCKS
BREAK WINDOWS.

A blast set off in the rock pit
Friday evening, at about 5
o'clock, across the street from
the Chronicle office, for a second
or so took on, as many of our
citizens belived, the form of an
earthquake. So strong was the
concussion from the blast that
buildings were felt to shake.
Rock was thrown for some dis
tance and a dozen or more win
dows broken by the flying stones
King street was literally covered
with rocks, thrown by the force
of the blast into the street.
The report of the shot and the
flying rocks falling on the ROOF
of buildings brought every
man out of his place of business
to see what 1T was all about.
Fortunately no serious dam.
age resulted outside of the
breaking of windows.
Mr.. Martzen, who is in charge
of the work, was not on the scene
when men set the blast off. He
attributed the strong blast, due
ito much higher grade explo-
sive being used than formerly
which the men did not realize
had such "kick."
Rock was thrown as far as the
Service Garage, stones being
found on their roof the following
day.

RUNAWAY TEAM FRIDAY
Demolished Plate Glass Window
And Damaged Automobile

A team Of horses, attached to a
road wagon, the property of Gilbert
Weimer, of North Glade, left stand
ing unattended in the alley alongside
The Republican building on last Fri
day afternoon became frightened and
ran away. The animals, with the
heavy wagon, went straight out the
alleyway and up the steep hill as far
as sixth street where they made a
turn and came down Alder street by
the Court House. At the intersection
of Second street and Alder the horses
failed to negotiate the turn and the
impetus carried them across the
thoroughfare where they collided with
the Grub fronting the Ravenscroft
building, both horses falling upon the
pavement. In its struggles to regain
its feet one of the animals made
plunge which carried it over the walk
and into plate glass window of the
pool room located in the building, two
large plate glass constituting the
window being broken into atoms.
IN addition to damaging the win
dow, as above stated, the automobile
of Alvin .Gortner was more or less
damaged, a front fender being bent
and scratches and other marks left
upon the vehicle.
The damage estimated to the prop
erty has been estimated at $40. Mr..
Neimer is man not over blessed
with WORTHY goods and to help him out
in his dilemma a subscription paper
was circulated Monday morning by
Harvey Bittner and in a short time
a sum totalling nearly 500 was col
lected to assist Mr. Weimer in dis
charging the debt which was unfor-
thrust upon him through no
act of his own.
Mr.. Wcimer's oversight in failing
to properly secure his horses should
serve as a warning to those who al
lowed their horses to stand unattend-
ed in the streets or alleyways Of the
town.

Flies Spread Disease

Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, sum
mer complaint, cholera, intestinal
disease, and frequently death follow
closely in the trail of the common
house fly.
Thousands of people die every
year from diseases carried by the fly,
yet we still look upon it as an annoy
ance to be tolerated, not as a death
dealer which can be exterminated."
Trap The Fly Before He Gets In
Designs Of an efficient fly trap that
can be easily constructed at home are
in the possession of the Garrett CO.
unity Public Health Association. This
homemade trap has been known to
catch half a million flies in one sea
son. Any person who wishes a copy
of the design with instructions for
the use Of the trap will receive a
descriptive folder by sending to Mrs.
e. R, O'Donnell, secretary Garrett
County Public Health Association.
Mt. Lake Park, Md, four cents to
cover the cost Of the folder and
postage.
One boy in Cook county, ILL.,, made
iorty-siX dollars in one season by
making fly traps according to this
design and selling them to his neigh
bors.

CHINESE PHEASANTS FIND
HOMES In THE COUNTIES
Reports Cover Less Than Half
Number of Eggs Distributed

Game Warden z. Lee LeCompte
said Thursday that persons receiving
nearly half the pheasant eggs dis
tributed to them on request last sea-
son by the State had failed to report
on the results of hatchings. Reports
at hand, however, show the total
number liberated was / ,555, less than
half of those Matched.
The game warden soon will begin
sending out eggs for this seasons
Matching, and he is anxious that all
those who receive the eggs submit
reports. He said that there were
111,324 eggs of the Chinese ring
necked kind sent out from the game
farm last year The rate of Matching
was about So per cent, and many
died.
Mr., LeCompte sent blanks with
each consignment Of eggs to be filed
out with results of hatchings. What
happened to the 5,O18 eggs from
which no reports were ever heard he
does not know.
Pheasant eggs are usually Matched
under the common barnyard hen. The
eggs are produced at the State game
farm at Melvale. They are distribu-
ted to game enthusiasts and sports
men. The fedglings are supposed to
be cared for like young chickens until
they are about six weeks old, and
then liberated.
1t is violation Of the law during
the hunting season to kill one of the
birds, Those Matching pheasants
must not domesticate them and use
them for table purposes.
