YOUNG GIRL STILL MISSING
DESPITE SEARCH OF DAYS
Parents of Oakland Girl Believe
She Is Being Detained
Against Her Will

H. c. Wright, of Oakland, returned
to his home this morning from an
unsuccessful visit to Uniontown, Pa,
last night in search of his daughter,
Mary E. Wright, aged sixteen, who
disappeared from her home, II Oak
street, last Saturday morning about
nine o'clock, since which time no trace
of the girl has been found notwith-
standing the efforts of the father and
officers of the county and State.
Her father has stated that he be-
lieves that the child is being detained
somewhere against her will, notwith-
standing the fact that she had left a
note at the home Saturday in which
she said that she was going away to
work and that her parents should not
be worried about her.
The girl appears to be II or IS
years old, but is only IS. She is 5
feet and three inches tall and weighs
112 pounds. She has light brown,
straight bobbed hair and light blue
eyes. She also has large scar on
her right forearm as the result Of an
automobile accident about a year ago.
Her face is freckled.
At the time she left home she wore
white MILDLY and blue skirt, a long
tan cape and tan shoes and stockings.
She also took with her, it is believed
by her parents, pink dress.
The family was preparing to move
to Cumberland when the girl disap-
peared without any just cause. The
father has been employed at the Oak
land Garage as a mechanic for some
time past and is an excellent work
man in his line.
Mr.. Wright has followed a number
of blind clues since the disappear
ance of his daughter and has driven
his car in all directions as result.
Mrs. Wright is confined to her bed
with illness.
Any information that will lead to
the whereabouts of the girl will be
thankfully received by the father and
mother.

AMERICAN LEGION WILL
CONDUCT FAIR CARNIVAL
Will Also, if Possible, Show Au-
thentic World War Nov
ing Pictures At Night

AT an enthusiastic meeting of Proc
ter Kildow Post, American Legion,
held at the legion rooms on Monday
evening, the members present made
plans to conduct a carnival on the
Fair grounds in Oakland during the
Garrett County Fair.
To this end arrangements have
been completed with the management
of the Fair Association for space and
location, which will require an entire
block on the Midway and will be
known as Legion Street.
In addition to the many attractions
that will be within the space of the
Legion's concession, the organization
will show several reels of authentic
World War pictures every night dur
ing the Fair if it is possible for them
to procure a projecting machine. The
war pictures are distributed by the
National headquarters of the Ameri-
can Legion and have the stamp of ap-
proval as being authentic by the War
Department. These pictures will be
shown out of doors and no charge
will be made.
The carnival promises to be some
thing out of the ordinary and will
consist of various amusements, trades
displays and other entertainments.
1t is also the desre of the member
ship of the Legion to arrange for an
athletic show with a continuous per-
formance for the four days and nights
of the Fair.

LIFE SENTENCE Is GIVEN
AGED HERMIT'S SLAYER
VIM. Grimm, is, Is Found Guilty
of First Degree Murder at
KeySer, West Va.

William Grimm, aged eighteen,
was found guilty at Keyser, West Va,
Tuesday on the indictment charging
him with Staying John W. Wilson,
former Garrett countian and was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment in the pen
itentiary at Moundsville by Judge A.
Jay Valentine. The court took into
consideration the low type of mental
ity of the prisoner in passing the SEN
tence, otherwise it is probably he
would have been sentenced to the gal
lows.
Wilson, who was a brother Of the
late Abrahm Wilson of this county,
lived as a recluse near keyser and
several months ago was slain in a
mysterious manner and his body dis
covered a week later in a patch of
briars near his cabin.
Sheriff Nethken, of Keyser, inves-
tigated the case and learned that Will
sons horse had been sold by Grimm
several days after the man was killed.
Grimm was arrested and confessed to
the murder. Keyser authorities said
he had killed the man to secure
large sum Of money which was re-
ported to have been hidden in the
cabin occupied by Wilson. The young
man was alleged to have told Sheriff
Nethken, however, that he found but
three cents. Grimm contended that
he killed Wilson to get revenge for an
alleged grievance.

art firm of DuBrau, Cumberland, was
completed during the present week.
From Oakland Miss DuBrau and her
helpers go to Kingwood where they
will be engaged for some time dec

that town. The Lutheran church in
Oakland is very attractive, simplicity
in the color scheme being strictly ad-
hered to. The extire expense of the
work was borne by the primary de-
partment of the Sunday school, COM
posed of the classes taught by Mrs.
Lewis Bush, Mrs. W. M. Frazeee and
Miss Falkenstein. Other improve
ments in the auditorium are in con-
temptation.

All Road Signs Must Be Moved
Beyond Limit.

All signs within the 33-feet limit
of the center of all highways of this
section must be moved beyond that
distance according to instructions of
]. N. Mackall, chairman, State Roads
Commission, Baltimore.
The instruction was received by
Franklin H. Ankey, of the Cumber-
land Branch, Automobile of Maryland

gineer, State Roads Comission.
The signs that are within the 33
feet limit, from the center of the

adopted to assist clear observation of
drivers.

Have Close Call
In Car Accident
Car Badly Smashed But Occupants
Get only Few Bruises

Emil Lindberg and William Boyle
had a thrilling experience while out
car riding last Friday evening. In
fact they had very close call being
killed outright.
They were coming down the grade
east of L. A. Limmesand at an es-
timated speed of around forty miles
an hour with Willie at the wheel.
They didn't realize they had arrived
at the corner turning north until it
was too. late, SO that instead of try
ing to turn, made the best of it and
kept going straight ahead, with the
result, that when the car hit the
edge of the grade, one of the front
wheels broke, and the car rolled
over twice. Mr.. Lindberg was
thrown out of the car and received
some bruises about the head, and
Mr.. Boyle pulled himself out from un-
der the wreck with only few minor
bruises. The Ford car got by far
the worst of it. That. neither of the
Gentlemen were not seriously injured
is a miracle, and indeed fortunate
to get out of it with only few scrat-
ches.

ing in the barn at his home about
Is miles north of Terry by one of

ent to tell her father that dinner

the dinner he was out in the yard
working on a wire spring. He was

gave the alarm, and as soon as
possible the rope was cut in the
hope that life still remained. He
had climbed upon nail keg and
tied the rope to a roof log in the
barn. He then kicked the keg from
under him.
Mrs. Hendrickson stated that he
had been uhwell for some time and
it is this which is supposed to have
caused him to take his life. There
