New Buildings Have Been Put
Up For Accommodation of
Live Stock and Exhibits

The ninth annual Garrett County
Fair will open next Tuesday morning
and will remain open for four days.
Attractions have been secured by
Officials of the Fair within the past
two or three days which are said to
be superior to any yet presented at
the annual show. In addition to a
large number of shows to arrive at
the Fair grounds Saturday and Mon
day, the balloonist is already upon the
scene with her paraphernalia.
The exhibits, according to the sec
retary of the Association, promise to
be larger and of greater scope than
for years past. This is especially
true of the live stock and poultry
branches of the annual show which
has come to be looked upon by the
county people as the greatest attrac-
ton and the most interesting eX-
hibits.
The buildings have been repaired
and put in excellent condition and
one new building for the accommoda-
tion of live stock was completed yes
terday under the supervision of Cen
eral Manager Andrew Shartzer.
Mr.. D. f. Orendorf, secretary, and
Mr.. A. L. Lee, treasurer, have been
untiring in their efforts to secure at
tractive exhibits from the farmers,
orchardists and stockmen in all parts
of the county and in this they have
been eminently successful. 1t now
remains for the people to give the
Fair their hearty support and coop
Grafton.
Last year the highway leading to
the Fair grounds was in bad condi-
ton owing to the inability of the
town and county authorities to have
the repairs then under way completed
in time for the opening. This condi-
tion no longer exists. A solid ma
cadam road now leads directly to the
Fair grounds which will give motor
lists and others an opportunity to ar
rive at their objective in comfort.
Adequate parking for automobiles
has been provided and cars will be
cared for by officers.

Negro RObber Will Die-POst-
master Will Lose Sight of Eye
Following Gun Battle

Ralph Anderson, aged q years, of
SwantOn, alleged accomplice of Hen
derson Hall, Baltimore negro, who
was frustrated in his attempt TO rob
the postoffice at Swanton, in Garrett
county, last Thursday night when
Postmaster Joseph F. Friend, who
was sleeping in an adjoining room
engaged him in a gun battle, was
given a hearing before United States
Commissioner Thomas J. Anderson
in Cumberland, last night and in de-
fault of $4,000 bail was committed to
the Allegany County Jail to await the
action of the Federal Grand Jury
He is alleged to have taken part in
the attempted robbery, dlring which
Hall was probably fatally wounded
by Postmaster Friend when he was
fired upon and shot in the left eye by
a steel jacketed bullet which is still ir
his head close to the base Of his
brain ard which has resulted in his
becoming almost completely paraly-
zed.
Postmaster Friend was also seri
ously wounded by the negro who fired
upon him the bullet striking Mr.
Friend to the left and below his nose
and taking an upward course severed
the optic nerve Of his eye which will
be removed at the Western Maryland
