The Northwestern Turnpike is the
oldest piece of National Road in Gar
rett county. 1t connects Winchester,
Virginia, with Parkersburg, West Vir-
ginia. There was but one toll gate in
this county, and that was near Red
House.
"Cattle and hogs by the hundreds
were driven over this road to the
eastern markets long before there
were any railroads, and many slaves
found their way over it, too.
"The Pike was dotted with taverns,
the only one in our county being Red
House. Before and during the Civil
War, the Red House was owned by
Mr.. Schwartzentruber He was Amish
and did not think it right to fight. At
one time there were many soldiers
stationed there. They arrived in cold
weather and burned many of the rails
from his fences to keep warm. When
the soldiers began to come in, the
owner sold his property, went to
point in Pennsylvania and never came
back.
"Along this road, on the west line
of Garrett county was located one of
the oldest grist mills in the country.
1t was run by water of the Youghio-
gheny River, and before and during
the Civil War was managed by James
Chisholm. People brought their grain
for miles on horseback to this mill.
''In Civil War times there were sew
eral horses taken in this vicinity. The
farmers used to hide their animals in
pine swamps and laurel thickets to
keep them from being taken. One
day some soldiers went down and de-
manded that William Rolfe deliver
his horses to them. He was a Ger
man and thought lot of his horses.
He put them in the stable and locked
the doors and stood against them. The
soldiers threatened to shoot him and
drew their guns. Then Mrs. Rolfe
stepped between the guns and her
husband and said, Shoot me rather
than him. Before they would shoot
a woman they left the horses.
One Sunday, my greatgrandfather,
Samuel Gnegy, and Daniel Beachy, a
minister of the Amish church, were
going to church near Red House on
greatgrandfather's two horses. With
in quarter of mile of Red House
some soldiers stepped up and demand
ed the animals. They took the one
greatgrandfather was riding and de-
manded the other. They unbuckled the
girth and threatened to dump him off,
but when they found he was a min
lister on his way to preaching, they
rebuckled the girth and let him go in
peace.
"The Turnpike crosses Backbone
Mountain within a quarter of mile
of Table Rock, from which is seen one
of Garrett countys most beautiful
views. Near this place Conneway's
tower, lookout eighty feet high, has
been erected. A winding stairway
leads to the top, from which it is pos
sible to see into four States: Mary
land, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Virginia.
"The only fort ever puilt within the
bounds of Garrett county was along

A NOBLE LOVE IN
MARRIAGE DRAMA

One of the cruelest trials for a
lover is to- have to aid another man
to win favor with the woman he
loves. Self-sacrifice Is the real proof
of love. If a man can forget his own
happiness and help his beloved to
get hers. his love is truly noble and
~unselfish.
This was the test that Philip Coch-
ran had to meet in Another Mans
Wife" the new James Kirkwood-
Lila Lee picture which comes to the
Strand Theatre for a two day run
May 10 and 18th. He had fallen in
love with Mary Trevelyn" only to
find that she was Helen Brand whose
husband had sworn TO kill her for
her supposed unfaithfulness. His
love was hopeless, but because it
was real he determined to do all in
his power to save the woman he loved
and bring her happiness. He took
her aboard a ship to get her away
from the murderous designs OF her
husband and saved her life when the
ship was wrecked. When he dis
covered Helen's husband was also a
passenger he convinced Brand that
Helen was innocent of any wrong
doing. He had the pain OF seeing
them safe In each others arms, but
he couldn't be entirely unhappy be-
cause he had brought happiness to
the woman he loved.
Another Mans Wife" has a splen.
did cast. II is headed by James Kirk
wood. Lila Lee. Matt Moore and
Wallace Berry.
