!. GARRETT COUNTY FAMILY
FOUND in DIRE DISTRESS
Federal Agents Hunting Stills
Discover Father Sick and
Children Poorly Clothed

Last Friday afternoon while on a
hunt for illicit stills in the mountains
along the Savage and Potomac rivers
in the eastern portion of Garrett
and about three miles west from
Westernport, General Prohibition
Agent D. NJ. Jackley and Deputy Ray
mond Bittinger found the family of
Columbus Broadwater in a small g.
room house in nearly destitute cir
cumstances. Broadwater, who was
suffering from an injury to his foot,
was in bad physical condition. The.
wife, with six small children, were
huddled around a stove. According
to the Federal officers, the children
were almost barefoot and were poorly
clad. Broadwater was also ill-clad
and sick as a result of the injury he
had sustained. His wife told the Of
fcers that her husband had been una
BILE to work steadily on account of
bad health for several years. She ad-
mitted during the recent cold spell
they had suffered much from cold and
privatiop. The oldest child is a girl
of twelve years. The family lives
about three miles above Westernport
on a small farm.
The officers returned to Western
port where they raised fund which
they used in buying quantity of
food and some clothing. The officers
say that neither the children nor the
parents can read or write. Arrange
ments were made to get medical at
teution for the father and more sup
plies and clothing for the family.
The Salvation Army at Cumber-
land, sent additional supplies to the
family Saturday afternoon.
In the search of the premises, the
officers found a small still and some
mash and liquor in the house. 1t was
said to belong to another man who
split the profits of the sales with the
Broadwater family.

BETTY NORMAND, LOVE
CHEAT, 80 DAYS in JAIL
kitZmiller Girl Pleads Guilty to
Swindling WOuld-be Hus-
bands Thru the Mails

In the United States Court for the
District of Maryland, in session in
Baltimore last Friday the last chap
ter in the romance" of a simple but
pretty country girl, who fooled the
sophisticated men of many cities, in
cluding A. A. Kostiak, of Chicago,
ILL.,, was written when she won her
way into the favor of Judge Morris
A. Soper, when he was arraigned on
charge of using the mails to defraud
and escaped with a sentence of thirty
days in jail.
The girl is Betty Normand, of Kitz-
miller, Garrett county, who is said to
have never seen a big town until she
went to Baltimore on Thursday to
enter plea of guilty to chage of
swindling the Chicagoan, one of a
score Of Getty fellows" who saw her
advertisement for a husband in the
newspapers from coast to coast, and
then fell in love with the photograph
she sent them.
Because of your youth, am GO
ing to be lenient with you," Judge
Soper is reported to have said before
passing sentence. He did not say
anything about her beauty, but he is
rich in good looks, it is also reported.
The girl said she is going to serve
her sentence, after which she will be
through with men. Judge Soper asked
her why she did not go to Chicago to
accept Kostiak after he had sent her
money for carfare, as had number
of other men. 81 took one look at
his photo and that was enough" she
replied.
Betty scorned newspapermen's
questions as to whether she intended
to accept the offer of Brooklyn, N.
Y, man to marry her despite the fact
that she is a love cheat.
The United States District Attor-
ney's office announced following the
sentence imposed upon Miss Nor
mand by Judge Soper that it would
not press the additional charges
against the girl.
She already has served six weeks
in the Allegany county jail at Cum
berland awaiting trial.

Oakland High Wins Two Games
Out of Three

Last Thursday the Oakland High
School team defeated the noted Mt.
Savage Shamrocks at MAYORS Hall,
making the fifth consecutive game
the local team has won on their home
floor. The game was fast and inter-
esting. The locals took the lead from
the start when Jim Pollock dropped
a beautiful long shot into the bas
ket. This started the boys into play
ing and they led the score until the
final whistle, the game ending 21-1O.
1t is almost impossible to note any
outstanding players, as the home
team as a whole played wonderful
game. McComas led in scoring, max
ing four field goals and Lewis and
Pollock followed with two and three
respectively. The Oakland defense
was excellent. The two little Wolf
boys are the main reason why the
Shamrocks made such low score.

Variously estimated around million

The million dollars have vanished

Wood emphatically denied reports
that he had given worthless checks.
and said his attorneys in Paris had
filed libel suits against a European
branch of a Chicago newspaper for
having published a story to the effect
that a check of his had been returned.
His only regret over the unpleasant
notoriety occssioned by his European
