WORKER ELECTROCUTED
AT HYDRO PLANT TUESDAY
Earle Wrightsman Victim of Ac-
cident At General Construc-
ton Corporation Camp.

Earle Wrightsman, aged 27, of
Mountain Lake Park, was the
victim of an accident at the op-
erations of the General Con-
struction Corporation, 8 miles
north of Oakland, Tuesday ev-
ening about $50 o'clock, when
he met death by electrocution
by his hand or arm coming in
contact with a high tension wire
at Shaft No. l.
Fellow workmen Of Wrightsman
who were closely when ne was killed,
state that he attempted to throw an
electric switch to put a fan in opera
ton and to do so had to reach behind
the framework of the fan and thus he
unconsciously touched the wire car
rying the current. Death was almost
instantaneous.
Wrightsman and his wife, who was
a Miss Meyer, of Dobbin, prior to
their marriage along with an infant
child born in February, had moved
to the plant of the hydro-electric COM
pany on Monday and were living in
a tent for the summer months. He
was employed as one of the men at
work in the shaft and was just going
to work when the fatality occurred.
Besides his wife and child, the IN
fortunate man is survived by his aged
mother, three sisters and four broth
ers. His father was killed about a
year ago in a mine accident at or
near Kempton. A brother, Grant
Wrightsman, was killed overseas as a
soldier attached to the 313th Infan-
try.
The funeral of the deceased will oc-
cur from the Pleasant Valley NJ. E.
church, south of Mountain Lake Park,
on Friday.

TWO STANDARD GASOLINE
TRUCKS ARE DAMAGED
Driver Had Remarkable Exper-
fence and Narrow Escape
On Both Occasions

A 'jinx" was surely camping on the
trail of Standard Oil gasoline trucks
running out of Oakland Saturday and
Sunday, otherwise a series of acct
dents would not have happened, ac-
cording to the belief held by those
who are inclined to be superstitious.
Saturday evening one of the large
trucks, driven by Jacob Yutzy, at a
point on the Blue Ribbon road and at
almost the identical spot where the
late John Sellers lost his life in a SIM
liar accident year ago, failed to ne
gotiate the heavy grade and in chang
ing the gear of the machine the drive
shaft snapped off with the result that
the truck ran backward until it came
to a stop against roadside en-
bankment.
A mechanic from Cumberland ar
rived Sunday morning and repaired
the damaged car and it is again in
commission.
Sunday morning about nine O'CLOCK
the second truck used by the Standard
in this section was wrecked near the
Wilburn home on the State road four
miles south of Accident when the ma
chine skidded and turned on its side
crosswise of the road.
The driver, Jacob Yutzy, in some
unaccountable manner was thrown
clear of the machine as it left the
road, otherwise he would have been
caught beneath it and crushed. The
drivers cab was reduced to mass
of twisted iron supports and COM
pletely demolished.
Mr.. Yutzy sustained badly bruis-
ed leg and will be off duty for short
time as a result.

ploye of the American Express Com
pany in New York for number of

, TWO ALLEGED F0RGERS
ARRESTED And IN JAIL
Accused of Passing Bad Paper
In Both Maryland and
Pennsylvania

Louis Fazenbaker and George Bee
man, both of whom are sal dto live
at or near Engle's Mills, Garrett
county, were brought to Oakland on
Saturday by Sheriff Guy Yutzy and
Deputy Sheriff Frank Blake, charged
with forging and passing checks.
The two men had been employed in
construction work on the State road
leading from Bear Greek bridge to-
ward Friendsville until the work was
recently completed, when they moved
and sought employment with the Gen
eral Construction Corporation.
Fazenbaker's arrest followed a COM
plant laid against him after he had
passed a forged check on Oscar Nc
Kenzie for S28.75, alleged to have
been signed by Bruce Steele, who had
the contract for building the Friends
vile road. Mckenzie conducts a ga
rage and eating stand at the State
tourist camp a few miles west of
GfdHlSNllle Oh lHe NdIIOIldl mig IL
way and it was here that Fazenbak
er's identity became known after he
and Beeman had passed two other
forged checks on Pennsylvanians, one
upon Henry Bender, at Springs, Pa,
and another upon merchant located
in a nearby town across the line. Mr..
Bender's check was for S34.75 and
the second one passed on the Penn
sylvanian was for S15.75.
Being brought to Oakland the men
were given a hearing before Justice
West who held them for the action
of the grand jury when Court con-
venes in the fall. Both men are now
in Jail, neither of them being able to
furnish bond for their appearance.

as those good folk had.
After the noon hour the president,
Mr.. Hoy White, of Grafton, called the
roll, and 81 answered present. One

not respond to the call, as he had ans
wered the great roll call of God some
weeks ago, and is now enjoying the
blessed reunion in that eternal city of
God. After the roll call Prof. ]. H.

YOUTH And GIRL LOSE
LIVES in The CASSELMAN
Clifford Crosby, Meyersdale, and
Louise Harding, Salisbury,
Drowned Sunday Night.

Miss Louise Harding, Is years
old, Salisbury, Pa, and Clifford
Crosby, aged %, Meyersdale,
Pa, were drowned about ten
O'Clock Sunday evening in the
Casselman River, east of Grants
vile, this county, in the pres
ence of a number of people who
were unable to render aid.
The scene of the drowning was at
the Casselman River dam, just east of
Grantsville, a favorite resort for pic
mic parties from both Maryland and
Pennsylvania. The water from this
dam is utilized to operate the Stan
ton Mill at Little Crossings on the
Pike, being conducted to the mill by
means Of a race probably a quarter of
a mile in length. The water on Sun
day was rather higher than usual, be-
ing caused by a heavy rain which had
fallen the night preceding with the
result that at the breast of the dam
water to the dept of two feet or more
was being spilled over it.
Miss Harding, accompanied by
young Crosby and Miss Martha Pat
ton and John Bynon, both of Sails
bury, had gone to the river in the
afternoon for the purpose of canoe
ing. All four were in boat and had
padded some distance from the spot
where they had entered it. Hearing
the beat of the water over the dam it
is said Miss Harding became excited
and jumped overheard. Crosby, in
an attempt to save her, followed a
second afterward, while the canoe,
with Miss Patton and Mr.. Bynon,
shot over the dam and was carried
some distance below before a landing
was effected. Both occupants escap-
ed unframed.
Both Miss Harding and young Cros-
by were lost sight of in the darkness
and when Miss Patton and Bynon re-
turned along the bank of the river
hoping to aid their companions no
trace of either could be found An
alarm was hastily given which had
the effect of bringing a number of the
people Of Grantsville, campers and
tourists to the rivers edge and sys-
tematic search for the bodies of the
two unfortunate young people was
inaugurated and kept up for nearly
eighteen hours before both bodies
were recovered.
Men armed with hooks and drags of
various kinds secured the river bot
tom continually all night, but not until
nine o'clock Monday morning was
their efforts successful, at which hour
the body of Crosby was brought to
the surface, which was found about
thirty feet below the dam in four feet
of water.
The body of Miss Crosby was re-
covered at four o'clock Monday af
ternoon when it was noticed floating
in the river just above the Casselman
bridge by a party of tourists travel
ing in a motor car over the pike.
Both bodies were removed from the
scene of the accident and taken to the
homes of their respective parents i'm
meditey after they had been recov-
cred.
Both of the young peope were high
ly esteemed in their communities
where they are survived by their par
ents and numerous relatives and
friends.

Queen City No. 3
Is Increasing Daily
Well Now Doing 900 or q 1000
Barrels Dolly According to
Report Of Officials.

ecording to director F. Som
merville and stakeholder r. E.
Cobb, who returned yesterday
from the Queen City No. 3 we'll
in 1912 west, the we'll will be
good for at least from 900 to a
1000 barrels every twenty-four
hours. Mr. Sommerville says
the we'll is increasing at a rapid
pace, and it would be hard to es-
innate what the production would
be if it was placed on the pump
and agitated. According to the
gentlemen the we'll is now flow
ing between 900 and a 1000 bar
rels and is increasing steadily.
Cementing around the top of the
6-inch casing, forcing the gas
through, is said to be the cause
of the increase of the flow.

encountered very heavy oil show
ings in the lower part of the Col
orado formation, being estimated
at 20 barrels or better d a i y.
They, however, drilled to a depth
of 2,700 feet to the Ellis, where
they encountered sulphur water.
